Yeah, I fail to see how a 10mm could kick more than a defense load in a .357 Magnum revolver. I've shot KirStang's 1006 and the recoil wasn't any worse than a .45 out of a GI 1911. The recoil spring on the automatic absorbs some of the "Ooomph," as the slide cycles back... whereas a revolver just gives it all to you in one quick shot. Both loads, 10mm and .357, are pretty close in performance standards when using similar stat commercial ammo, IIRC.
Funny, I was really interested in the Glock 20 a few years ago. As Walt said... with a trigger job, a new barrel, new sights, and good supply of ammo to train with... you've got a practical sidearm like few others (unlike a Mark 23, har-har). I was kinda leery about how it would fare over time (read about durability issues with the original G20s) and figured the G20, while awesome, is kinda in the same boat with the .357 Sig pistol: awesome but no market share.
...
Also: Glock's don't have a low bore line (well, they do compared to old HKs). A friggin' Steyr M series has a low bore line. Nobody has beat that AFAIK.
I mean... just look at how high the grip is on the first and second generation Steyr M series. They're ergonomic perfection.
