I'm looking to pick up a 10 memememer pistol for use as a gun to wear on my hip when out innamountains. My current innamountains sidearm is an old S&W Model 13-2, and the thought of having 15 rounds of hot 10mm compared to my current 6 of .357 is a clear advantage to me.
Thing is though, I'm not sure if I want to go for a Glock 20 or Glock 40. I've owned a Glock 17 in the past and I know the Glock 20 is more or less the same size with a little more meat while the Glock 40 is the longslide version with MOS features (that I'll never use). I'm just not sure if its worth the extra ~$200 for the increase in barrel length for the Glock 40 over the 20.
Does anyone have experience with either or both?

One of my uncles has a glock 20 with a custom slightly protruding ported barrel. That thing is a hot tip.
Since you won't be cc'ing it, why not have the longer sight radius? Also, the longer barrel might (maybe) increase projectile velocity, which would be (imho) ideal for your philosophy of use.
Needs to buy glock 19.

glock 20, the 40 is fucking huge. If you want huge get the 40. If you don't want huge get the 20. Also worth looking at is EAA's 10mm, its steel frame if you're into that sort of thing.

if you are getting a new gun in 2016, alsways go for the MOS version. 2-4 years from now red dots are going to be even more common and the MOS feature will help your gun retain it's resale value if by then you should want to get rid of it - which I don't see why you would with a 10mm Glock but it's possible.

How is the EAA 10mm?
I have a Glock 20. It goes bang when you pull the trigger.

Glock 40 has a longer barrel which gives you a decent amount of muzzle velocity. It also has a better stock trigger. I believe it is the same trigger as the rest of the longslide glocks.
