The Glock 20 is a pistol manufactured by Glock. It is a standard frame Glock, roughly 7 mm longer and 2.5 mm wider than the Glock 17. It is chambered to fire 10 mm Auto ammunition. 10 mm auto is one of the most powerful handgun rounds commonly used in autopistols. It is also carried by some police departments, and is popular with some steel plate shooters.
Like all Glock pistols, it has much the same internals as the Glock 17, but all parts have been adapted to the 10 mm Auto ammunition.
The Glock 20 has undergone two major revisions since its introduction and current models are called 3rd generation Glock 20s.
The difference between the Glock 20 and the Glock 20C is that the barrel and slide are ported on the C model to reduce muzzle climb while shooting the pistol.
