Hello all, I am new to this forum and new to Glocks. I have a G17C Gen 3 and just acquired a G20 Gen 3.
I have not shot the G20 yet as it is in transit which with our Can gun laws might take about two weeks.
My new G20 has been shot 50 times since new. The original owner said he shot 180's but included two boxes of buffalo bore 220's as he was going to be trapping in the Yukon, but his plans changed so he sold it to me.
I have read various opinions on the net regarding changing out the factory recoil spring to a heavy duty one to protect the frame and slide from possible damage from hot heavy loads.
My intentions are to shoot lighter standard range loads for target practice and to use the heavy BB220's for home protection from big harry creatures. Will the factory G20 spring handle a couple of dozen rounds of the big powerful ammo through occasional use without any damage to the slide or frame? I will not be using reloaded or reloading any ammo. Just wishing for the facts here to put my mind at ease on my new pistol...thanks all.
