It is indeed very versatile, it and the G21, which is perhaps slightly more so than the G20 since the 21 can shoot 10mm and even better, .45 Super/460 Rowland.

I have a .40 S&W KKM barrel for my G20 and it shoots very well. The coolest part is that KKM .40 barrels have LONG throats on them, so I can load .40 S&W to long 10mm-like OAL (1.250"+) using 10mm data and have a 10mm from a cheaper, stronger .40 S&W case.

My complaint about the 20 is that it's pretty big. Not huge, but large enough that I prefer the smaller framed 9mm/357Sig/40S&W Glocks. They're simply thinner, lighter and carry better and to me, feel better in the hand.

Not to discredit the 10mm or the die hard 10mm enthusiasts, but really the .40 S&W (which can be converted to .357 Sig with a barrel swap or 9mm with a conversion barrel) can do pretty much anything the 10mm can. Sure the 10mm is a little faster, but all in all it's stuck using JHP bullets in which 99% of those are designed around the .40 S&W, not the 10mm.

If you load the .40 warm and the 10mm warm, nobody would be able to tell which is which in terms of killing ability. But, if you prefer the larger framed Glocks then the 10mm is a solid choice.
