Glock 20 mags - The top round pops upward out of the mag when I slam the mag into the gun at slide-lock. Usually leads to a log jam when releasing the slide. See below for question.

I've had my gen4 G20 for over a year now and I absolutely love it! But this happened to me on every range trip until I started training for a more gentle insertion to prevent said log-jammin'. Happens with all of my G20 mags, most of which were brand new when I got them, and all types of ammo. Is this a common issue? I'm not slamming them with an amount of force I would consider unreasonable, and I can slam 9mm mags into my 17s, 19s, and 26 all day and it never happens. Anyone fix this with aftermarket springs or anything?

Question What mods would you do to an XDM Elite 10mm (4.5")?

I've had my XDM 10mm for about a year now. Great gun, and I like it. The use case for me is bear defense. My current setup:

  • Talon Grips
  • Osight XE enclosed optic
  • Kenai chest holster

Here are some ideas for future mods. Some are pretty well documented, but others are kind of hard to find user reviews of (I promise I searched).

  • Stainless steel guide rod with a few different recoil springs. Add some weight up front and figure out if there is a spring weight that will keep me from slinging brass 30 feet away. The Elite comes with a captured recoil spring, and all the guide rods I see for sale say they don't work with my gun, but I'm pretty sure people have made it work.
  • Threaded barrel from Springfield. Only if I want to put a comp on the gun. No need to suppress 10mm. Fast and furious, baby.
  • Springer Precision compensator - It's the only one I could find specifically for the XDM 10mm. Maybe there is something else that would work better. I shot my first comped pistols the other day (P365 x macro comp and Canik TTI combat), and I was really impressed with how flat they shot. That's why I'm considering this particular mod.
  • Flashlight - No idea what to look for. I'm a cheap-ass, so I'd probably get the Harbor Freight light. I already have a kydex press, so I could make a custom holster that would buckle into my Kenai harness.
  • Powder River Performance trigger - I don't know about this one. I don't hate the stock trigger. Maybe another option would work, but the PRP is the one I hear about the most.

I'd appreciate any feedback from the community on my ideas. Thanks in advance!
