It depends on how crazy you want to get. The good thing about glocks is you can make them into what ever you disire without being at the mercy of a gunsmith. First thing I would change are the sights. Depending on what your plans are for that particular pistol. Dawson precision makes really nice adjustable sights for glocks http://www.dawsonprecision.com. But if you want fixed Night Sights I'd either go with Meprolite, Trijicon, Or Heinie Slant Pro's. After Sights I always work on the trigger alittle bit just to smoothen things up. You can do so here http://www.alpharubicon.com/mrpoyz/glock/ Good thing about glock triggers are you can make them in different variations using different components. You can even give it a 2lb pull with a wolff competition spring pack and alittle polishing. Next thing I always do is add grip tape cause I hate that slippery plastic feel. You can buy it pre cut, or get a whole sheet at your local skate board shop for about $5 then cut it anyway you wish. Next I like to change the mag springs to Wolff or ISMI cause the factory ones suck and become weak way to fast. Some people change the guide rods right off the back but it isn't something you "have to" do. I have a non- captive tungeston guide rod in my g35, non-captive stainless steel in my g22 race gun, and the factory guide rod in my carry g23. I chose non-captive cause it's easier to change spring weights but is more dificult assembeling and disassembeling the pistol then using a captive guide rod cause you have to play with that spring alittle longer. It's really about what you want to use it for. I would shoot it with the standard barrel and then decide later. You can even get an aftermarket 6in slide for it if you want to spend the money. The sky's the limit with glocks Technically with a converson barrel you can convert your G20 (10mm) to fire 9x21, 9x23, .40S&W, and 357sig ammo. I love talking about glocks so if you have any questions feel free to email me.

Do not buy that surplus shit sometimes thats all u need to change your performance.

Trade it in for a Sig.

Spend your money on an extra mag, a HKS mag loader (model GL453) and as much ammo as you can afford for now. Shooting and getting familiar with the gun is the best first "accessory". Buy mostly FMJ for now, with maybe one box of a defense JHP.

There are lighter triggers you could go to. Honestly, I would just leave it alone. As far as ammo: buy a box of many different ones and see which ones feels best for you. Chances are your Glock will feed them all the same, so it's your chioce. Holsters: You carrying it concealed? In the open? If concealed, you're going to need more than one holster. Now that it's getting warmer, you need to think of holsters like ankle, fanny packs, etc. When it gets cooler, you can think of under the arm, inside the waistband.

Great weapon, I bought one in 1984 and have been shooting it since. I have changed every thing including the sights. Right now it has a full length captured guide, stainless rod and a stock Glock spring. Glocks uses the slide weight not the spring weight. A plug in the heel of the backstrap helps keep dirt out of the trigger housing, always a good idea. I swapped the plastic sights for a set of Meprolight night sights. I replaced the slide lock with an extended version as well as the slide stop and the mag release. Now it is fool proof, well on a good day anyway. I have been shooting 200 gr jhp's at 100 yards and it is almost point of aim. At 25 yards 165gr is point of aim. I also bought two other barrels for it, a 357 sig and a40 s&w. All three calibers use the same mags. Good hunting weapon or woods gun. I have four Glocks and carried a Glock 21 and 23 for work. Haven't seen to many agency's allow a 10mm for carry, if I was allowed it would be the only gun. I could type for hours about glocks email me if you have any question. bobhedgpeth@yahoo.com

The gun is fine the way it is. Just get proficient with it.

I never change anything on a gun until I put at least 1000 rounds through it. The exception being sights. The nice thing about Glocks is that you can buy just about any aftermarket part you can dream up for them. That can also be a bad thing.

The only thing I've done to mine is buy extra high capacity magazines. Mine already came with the Trijicon nightsights. Great handgun, the Model 20 Glock. Great caliber. I use the 200 grain hollow point from Double Tap as my service ammo in my 10mm. H

"Tweak performance" on a Glock? You can get a custom, "match" barrel that will let you shoot lead slugs (as opposed to the mandated FMJ out of the polygonal factory barrel) and also get a tune kit to lower the trigger pull weight. These actions will turn your Model 20 into a recreational gun more than anything else. If you want personal protection, DO NOT modify anything other than the sights or adding a tac-light/laser. Fobus makes ok holsters. I hope you plan on reloading shells for practice with 10mm or just have the extra money. Buying 10mm is like buying .41 Magnum, meaning that a lot of stores do not have it and when you do find it you ask yourself why you did not get a .40SW or .45ACP. Happy shooting anyways.
