As each year comes and goes, many changes may occur....but one thing remains the same: I look forward to the month of September every year. Usually at this time of year, all I can think about is chasing rutting, Bull Elk with my bow and everything else that goes along with the preparation. But this year is a little different. A few months ago, I was at work discussing marketing campaigns and strategies with our Marketing guy, Zack. I work for Lone Wolf Distributors; what most would consider the "King of the Hill" when it comes to anything related to the Glock pistol. It's been on my mind for a while now, to help push us into Hunting / out, instead of preparing for a competition / court of law. Then, according to the company's CEO, JR Shepard ... that's why Lone Wolf was created: to satisfy your passion for hunting and fishing! So why not? One Glock model in particular; The Glock 20, chambered in 10MM has long been considered in some circles as the humble hunting sidearm. I have long been a fan of the 10MM cartridge and know well and good what it can do. I haven't been seen very far in my G20 and Lone Wolf offers a few performance upgrades that turn it into a beast of a hunt. So...there's an idea. I have said before that I am a known first shooter, using a 9G AR carbine (now called the "G9" http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Products.aspx?CAT=3682) last year while I was in Texas, he took a very nice hag on the floor. But that is not enough! I want to break something with my Glock 20 and I want it bad.
Glock 20 For Bear
So, what can I do next, hunting with my Glock?…. The first thing that comes to mind is a picture that my client sent me last year. It was a large Alaskan Black Bear that he shot with his Glock 20, which (yes) has a long slide and a 6″ barrel. Lots of bear medicine!

I always have a bear tag in my pocket; however I did not appear after the bear as species. Bear has always been next to the Elk and Deer that I like to chase during fishing seasons. I gave up gun hunting 10 years ago and it was hard to leave my bow at home; but I know what to do. This is my last year hunting as a resident; but luckily the section just a few minutes from home, was opened for witnessing just two weeks ago. I knew going into the month of March, that I would only have a few weeks to devote to providing for the hunt, before the madness of September began. Since then, I have been out a few times; but at the moment it is not enough to carry.
The cold winters and short summers have left the trees around here lush and green. The strawberry cakes are six feet long and many; This leads to a food situation according to the "all you can eat buffet" bears! The trick is to find the "right strawberry park" and be in the right place at the right time. I'll be out until the end of the month, blasting brush and Glock-ing for bears! Expect to see more of my bear time...hopefully the next title will be: "Get off!"

S.A. ---()- When you're out in the backcountry you have to have some kind of weapon on you. It's not my idea to enjoy the outdoors, and I prefer a more reliable lifestyle. Fifteen laps is 10m m Auto should stop bears and any other threats. For that reason, my weapon of choice for jungle situations is the Glock 20 SF (Short Frame) pistol.
The Glock 20 SF is a semi-automatic semi-automatic pistol, with a 15 (+1) round capacity, and chambered for the 10mm Auto cartridge. Both the capacity of the 10mm Auto cartridge and the portability of the Glock 20 SF make it an obvious choice for a sidearm when you're in the woods. While some may say that the 10mm does not have the "knockdown power" of the .357 magnum, evidence shows that it is still more than adequate for use against bears.
Dean Weingarten has reported eight incidents since 2002 in which a 10mm automatic pistol was successfully used to fend off a bear attack. Five of those eight incidents were reported to involve a variant of the 10mm Glock pistol. In comparison, there were nine reported incidents with the .357 magnum: eight were successful, the other outcome was unlucky.
What you get with the Glock 20 SF is a modern gun with a record of success against the North American killer, from a manufacturer known for the reliability of their guns.
The Best Bear Defense Guns And Cartridges
Due to Glock's widespread popularity, the G20 SF also takes advantage of a very deep market for attachments, accessories, parts, and holsters. Basic pads are available that can add five rounds to the factory magazines for a total capacity of 20 10mm rounds. Alternatively, you can get yourself a few ETS 30 magazines if that's your preference, or go with the KRISS +18 round extension full on board 33 round.
Another thing to note is the availability of .40S&W caliber conversions that can be made by replacing the factory 10mm barrel with an aftermarket 40cal barrel. While less expensive this gives you training flexibility and a less expensive cartridge in the same platform.
For my model, I decided to keep it simple by adding a set of Trijicon night sights and a Streamlight TLR-1 HL accessory. Although the G20 SF is a fully loaded pistol, it is light even when loaded with factory magazines. As a travel enthusiast, saving a few ounces on a polymer semi-auto is better than carrying a heavier gun. The size of the gun makes it easy to carry. Most of the time I travel I carry the G20 SF at Gunfighters Inc. Kenai chest dish.
If there was one drawback to the G20 SF, it would be the inability to remove the optic out of the box. Seeing as the gun is an older model is to be expected. If Glock decides to come out with a full 10mm upgrade (not with the G40 Gen4), I would expect to see a MOS optic cut into the slide. The downside of the Glock 20 SF being an older model is that it can be found at very good prices today.
The Glock 20
Over a few days at the range, I put about 300 to 400 rounds of 10mm Auto through my Glock 20 SF. My G20 SF didn't get any errors the whole trip to the range. The gun is accurate for me out to 50 yards and I have no doubt the distance can be improved. In my hands, the G20 SF is comfortable but could be more comfortable if it featured Gen5 handles without fingerprints.
Going back isn't much of a challenge but it can kick more than your 22 year old grandma. There's no crazy, face-to-muzzle to worry about
