Very nice pistol, MEAT.
The 200gr WFNGC is a MUCH better woods load than a 200gr FMJ. The FMJ TC profile will just slip through, and not cause significant damage in its path. Plus they tend to deflect when they hit bone. The wide nose of the 200gr WFNGC hits like a freight train, and creates a NASTY wound channel. It chomps through bone like a cookie cutter, and will make a larger permanent & temporary wound cavity. That's why most 44mag/45LC/454C guys load that type of bullet for bear defense. Even if you're worried about lead in a factory Glock barrel, which you shouldn't be, you won't shoot enough of them to lead up a barrel before cleaning. I shot 50rds of DT's 200gr WFNGC through a stock G20SF, and had no leading or any other issues. That 155gr Barnes bullet does make an excellent carry load, although I prefer the 175gr Silver Tip & Underwood's Delta Elite 180gr Gold Dot load (1240fps).

lol maybe you did because he was probably gaga over that pistol.
Mr MEAT that has to be the most wicked Glock setup I've ever seen. Phenomenal. If you were to have any videos of running that gun fast that would be insane fun to see.
I've been reading fast to catch up - Are you primarily shooting .40 through it? I know .40 will run through a 10mm barrel - pretty well from the little bit of it I did with a G20 I used to have.

Not at all a good idea. Running a 35k psi round headspacing off the extractor claw is just asking to grenade your pistol*... (Or for exotic malfs if the striker manages to kick it forward out from under the claw without busting the cap.)
There are aftermarket .40 bbls for the large-frame Glocks anyway, although I have had a handful feeding issues with .40 out of G20/29 mags, notable mostly because the guns were otherwise as close to 100% as makes no nevermind...

*Okay, maybe "grenade your pistol" is a little strong, but a massive case head failure from a completely unsupported cartridge will certainly vomit the magazine contents at your feet and tattoo your trigger finger plenty good.
