Numbers don't lie, Cosmo, the Glock 20 is a superior woods and hiking gun compared to any revolver. There was a time when I was wondering if .454, .460, or .480 revolvers would be better, but I realize that they're among the most impractical guns to carry unless you are in Grizzly territory. Even if you were, a 10mm Glock is not the worst choice you could carry.

I really don't see myself conceal carrying it, but a situation I could see is it being a designated vehicle gun, not necessarily for carjackers, but just a gun I keep in a vehicle and in use in an emergency.

Home defense I think is where it can shine. I don't question what 000 buck is capable of at typical home defense distances of 0 to 7 yards.

Plinking, I reload .45 Colt, so I don't spend much when I shoot it. Also have thought about getting some 9mm adapters and see how they shoot. Again, not looking for super accuracy, the gun isn't meant for distances further than 25 yards and even that is pushing what it was built for.
