He is a great shot. I love watching him shoot. No camera editing. No cuts in the footage like all the others. He shoots, and you watch. He doesn't need any tricks or gimmicks.
My Glock 20 was my first handgun and it's still one of my very favorites. Most versatile handgun I own. Lighter loads for self-defense, or heavy hard-cast slugs for bear or other dangerous game. And it's actually not too bad to carry!
Grandfather of TH-cam man. Still watching videos i seen 5-10 years ago 🙏🏽🤝
It amazes me that I'm watching a 28 minute video of a pistol that was designed 30 +years ago and that hasn't changed much. And it still intrigues me....Awesomeness!!!
You can see .45 ACP go down range toward the target. With 10mm auto you only see the impact.
Its like MJ and lebron playing basketball lol
Both of em can get the ball in the basket with style but lebron is faster.
@@Korazjian10mm loads can produce over 760 foot pounds of energy, 45 is like 360 tops.
@@GunnzzNRoses top end 10mm self defense loads and bear defense are like 800 ft lbs hottest 45 I can think of is 600 ft lbs liberty civil defense for 2 legged threats and like 540 ft lbs for hardcast lead
@@GunnzzNRoses45 hits harder than 360 with the right loads. 185gr Underwoods are almost 600 ft/lbs, the same with the extreme defenders
@@Korazjian please don't ever refer LeBron James on any kind of gun forum ever again in your life 🤦♂️.. we don't wanna here about LeBron James..we wanna hear about guns and watch hickock 45 shoot 🤷♂️..
so ive honestly lost count of how many videos ive watched trying to decide if I want this gun, and this mans genuine enthusiasm has sold it for me. I want to thank you sir!
Get the 20 if you don't plan on making a bunch of distance shots. You can always just put the longer barrel from the 40 in the 20. If you really want, you can get the slide, guide rod, and the doohickey that is on the front of the lower and you'll have a 40 and a 20.
You are a frikin surgeon with a handgun. Good lord. Deadly accurate is an understatement.
Hickock watching your videos in 1080P60FPS is like watching completely new videos. The crisp picture is outstanding. From an Army veteran, I love your show. You have some outstanding reviews. Keep up the good work please!!
Darn. Yet another new gun that I now "need."
This was the pistol that made me finally switch from S&W to Glock for many reasons and it is simple once you look the weapon over. The extra length of the barrel means more accuracy when firing also it means that you get more bang for each shot fired. Extra velocity, extra penetration, more impact but the downfall is that it is slower on the draw because more barrel has to clear the holster. To remedy this a drop down rig will give you an equal playing field when drawing as long as you practice firing from the hip on your first shot before bringing the weapon up to a correct shooting position.
I have trained like this since I was a Marine on my own time because shooting from the hip was not part of pistol training when I was trained shooting the Berretta 92 back in the early 90's. I also trained all of my family members and friends who wanted me to train them to use a firearm to shoot from the hip along with all the true shooting techniques the Marines taught me.
To make a long story short the Gen 4 Glock 40 MOS chambered in 10mm is the finest self defense handgun I have ever owned and that list is a very long one seeing as I am now 43 years old with my first handgun being a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 magnum at the age of 16 but it was limited to six shots and a slow reload time. From there I started buying, testing, and training with as many handguns as possible including surplus handguns from other countries like the Russian CZ52 chambered in 7.62x25 which is another hand cannon but is limited to only 8-9 rounds a load with a slower mag release. The Glock 40 gives you 15 rounds of magnum power bullets, a quick reload like other quality hi cap mag pistols, and a very controllable recoil even with powerful rounds.
Honestly I would have stuck with S&W M&P pistols had they kept making a 10mm with hi cap mags like Glock has after all it the was S&W model 1006 chambered in 10mm that got me hooked on the 10mm in the first place. For the life of me I do not understand why the general public would just follow the chosen rounds forced on the majority of police officers, like sheep. All of the officers I know (and there are many) did not care much for the .40 S&W. Don't get me wrong it is a caliber that will kill a human but the 10mm will do the job better hands down. Even the 9mm +p ammo does not compare to the 10mm in speed and power if you buy the correct 10mm ammo.
Look at it like this. Most people carry some kind of pocket knife if they have any kind of self preservation sense. A pocket knife is constantly needed in every day life to open letters, cut power cords, scrape your fingernails, etc. but I not only carry a pocket knife for everyday use I also carry a Swiss Army knife that I use to do many more things that pop up in everyday use. The 10mm is like the Swiss Army knife of pistol rounds as it can stop people and it can stop large animals from attacking you. Not to mention if your aggressor is shooting at you from behind cover the 10mm is more likely to penetrate that cover and the attacker too.
I will carry the Gen 4 Glock 40 MOS as my EDC defense weapon until S&W (or another quality gun company) makes a model M&P (or similar model) chambered in 10mm (the lack of one was a huge mistake on their part) and even then I would have to test it against my Glock 40 to see if it could deliver the same quality of protection.
NOTE: Please do not buy a Jennings or Hi-Point pistol, save up and get a weapon that will not hang up on you when you need it most, your family, your friends, and even your life is worth more than the cheap price of crap weapons.
I wish I could help but I have no personal experience with them. I could spout off what everyone else is saying about them but that would be dishonest. Picking a weapon is important because the lives of you and those you love are on the line trusting that weapon to protect them so I cannot give any advice on Rock Island guns, sorry. You might check TH-cam for like a 500 round burn video on them to see how they hold up under extreme conditions.
I have a glock 20l it is the same thing as the 40 with no rmr cut. I consider it a "modern revolver" in terms of power and barrel lemght. It reminds me of the dirty Harry 44 magnum.
Sig has arrived with the XTEN
@@TheDiameter I will have to check that one out, usually if I don't know someone that owns one I will rent one and get a hundred rounds or so and test it. Thanks for the heads up!
@@edgeuvchaos it’s the first 10mm I’ve owned, but of all the polymer framed 10s I’ve shot it’s easily the nicest. Plus it’s only $800 but shoots like a $1k gun.
whoever does your camera work is phenomenal, props to the unseen hero!
I know I'm five years late and you might already know the answer to this question but it's his son John Hickok
@@joe2870 Correct. His son John. Pretty sure his surname is not Hickok though. ;)
How can anyone not like a hickok45 video, especially about a Glock 40? Great video as usual!
I wish the military will adopt a 10mm so ammo will get cheaper.
I second that one
The Mad Gentleman it would be better than that Beretta 9mm they live by
They won't do it anytime soon. They'll stick with 5.56 and 9x19
@Jeff Wilkins Sounds nice but it won't happen because so many of their weapons are 9mm. Not just the pistols but pretty much all of the sub-machine guns too. They did make an MP5 in 10mm but apparently it had a ton of problems.
The military doesn't use pistols that much and 9mm works just fine for what they do, 10mm has minimal benefits
It seems like guns have zero recoil with hickock.
technineman1996 , i think the same thing he could shoot a .50AE snub nose with no recoil
I know... he makes everything look small... he's 6 foot 8 inches tall with giant hands.
technineman1996. Everyone knows he killed the terminator
10mm doesn't have a lot of "muzzle flip" 40sw does...
@@Dread_Pirate_Homesteader who told you that? and watch him shoot 40 S&W guns. Recoil doesn't exist with this man!!!
“They can get the job done if you can get the job done.” I love that quote. Caliber doesn’t matter as much as the shooter.
He hit the nail on the head about the difference between the .40 s&w and the 10mm...anyone who says off the shelf 10mm is the same as a .40 probably has never fired a 10mm and just believes whatever they read in the comments sections from keyboard experts who probably dont even own a gun
I carried my Glock 20 in Alaska, now I carry it in Texas too.
People in Oregon country (anywhere ~50+ miles from i5) love the 10mm. Lots of bow hunters carry them. It's my edc.
I really love the 10mm for self defense!! I have a Glock 20 and 29 and carry them regularly. I will carry my 29 as a backup for boar hunting in 2020!!!
one just showed up at the shop today. sold in 45 minutes. got home and this vid was posted. awesome!
Isn't the 10mm the caliber the FBI wanted to use for all their agents but then later decided to switch to .40S&W because most agents couldn't handle the recoil?
+mclaine33 Yes. Now they can't handle the 40sw and are going to 9mm.
That decision was mostly due to the stopping power myth, now they use 9mm.
+JettyLife23 Lol. I like the 9mm too, but how recoil sensitive are they? Where to next? .380? .22?
+FlyTour69 it's not just about recoil sensitivity really. 9 is cheaper, easier to shoot = more rounds effectively on target, higher capacity generally for the same size weapon = more rounds in the target, more effectively suppressed than 40sw etc. The caliber debate might as well be dead in this day and age (between 9mm, 40sw, 45acp.) If you look at the ballistics between the 3 rounds foot pounds of force exerted on the target is pretty similar.
Long story short: carry the round you shoot the best, to put the most holes in the target as fast as possible.
+FlyTour69 airsoft
"gas check" is the words.
I think the 10 mm is the best all around semi auto handgun round there is. But that's just my opinion.
If I could shoot like you I wouldn't want an optic either.
+Jeff Gibson Agreed.
g20 is why i became a glock follower. 10mm is definitely an awesome round.
+Jeff Gibson Amen!! 10mm doesn't leave much on the table to a 41 S&W Mag and it is a bit less in the noise and muzzle blast
Griz Woldstad There are revolver rounds that are really good but in a normal SA handgun I like the 10mm.
Mine just looks COOL with the Burris 8moa red dot on it...)
Thank you so much for doing this review. I just ordered this G40 from Bud's I hope to have it next week
+Southern Coastal Cooking ™ You're going to love it!
+Dee Coleman yes it will come I the mail tomorrow to my local FFL, I ordered the 43 as well last week
Outstanding!! Have fun!!
I just bought a glock 40 today!! XD
my friend at work is getting one of these and is going to sell me his gen 4 glock 20...I just don't get why...why even make this pistol? hunting is the ONLY POSSIBLE USE that I can guess. the 10mm out of a 4" barrel is plenty for hunting and defense, the g20 is as big and heavy a weapon I could ever use as my edc...what is the appeal for the g40 for you?
Wow. Beautiful. A weapon this size with minimal recoil? OUTSTANDING!
Most big handguns have less recoil smaller handguns have much more recoil/kickback.
Thanks hickok, my stepson just bought one of these for grizzly protection. I included this as a recommended video to watch. He's a smart fella so I'm sure he paid attention to what you covered.

Wait a minute.
Oh shut up dale you giblet head
At 24:00-24:25, for those who may not be familiar with it, those little brass caps at the base of cast lead bullets are called gas checks.
10mm is best mm
Which mm is best mm?
10 mm is best mm!
+The Wound Channel nah 7.62 is the best!
+akshooter762 For rifles not for handguns
+The Wound Channel 10mm or .357SIG
+akshooter762 those are a complete waste of an ak or $500 or so dollars, no reason to chamber a round like that in short barrel
I’ve been watching you for years since the beginning of your channel and It seems like your accuracy gets better with age much love hiccock45
Definitely a brick but great for a range/competition 10mm
In your experience do you think the Glock 40 has less recoil than the normal sized 10mm glocks?
@Zylus C probably a little bit. I wonder if it’s actually noticeable.
Hey it's one of my other favorite channels on TH-cam! The FireArmGuy!😂😂💯✌🏻 I think I'm about to CCW the 10mm Glock soon! Thanks for a great review Hickok!✌🏻
Also a good 10mm home defense or bear defense pistol lol
I was thinking of hunting deer with one of these. Would a 1911 be a better platform. Just wondering I anyone has had any experience with either. Looking for something different to take down a white tail
I have this gun, hailing 10mm at 13:44 and 18:18. Very accurate and controllable for those close encounters within 20 yards it has no competition. Plus if you need some food you can each out and touch a tasty deer or elk at easily 50+ yards with the full power loads available from underwood, double tap, or buffalo bore. Best all around full power pistol hands down, that won't break the bank at $700.
You've gotta get more Underwood. It costs 60¢ - 80¢ per round and is the most powerful 10mm you can buy.
Buffalo bore has entered the chat
Hornady makes good ones too
love me some underwood....makes big noise!- goes very fast!
Grizzly as well.
I purchased a G40 this summer and installed a Holosun green dot and Trijicon suppressor height night sights. I recently used this pistol to take a nice buck at 45 hards from a stand. Really impressed with both the pistol and the 10mm performance. Update: I swapped out the factory barrel for a KKM threaded barrel so I could install my Bannish 45 suppressor while hunting. Not super quiet. but is now hearing safe without muffs or earplugs. Probably now as close as I can get to a perfect stand hunting pistol.
How many rounds have you put through it? Is Holosun holding up alright?
6" threaded barrel .40 diameter?
Another great video hickok. Even though I'm a certified glockaholic I didn't know this gun existed until my wife bought me one for an early Christmas present yesterday. Put 100 rnds of American eagle 180gr fmj. Great shooter I think I'll use it for whitetail and hogs.
So u meant to tell me a g40 can take a bear down? Sheesh. What wud u prefer a 38 revolver or a g40?

Its awesome , bought a glock 20 back in 97 night sights and 8 mags , NFS ever
This is the gun which may actually convince me to buy a Glock(I'm a revolver and steel pistol guy). That darn thing could serve as an anti-aircraft gun. :)
check our the mega star

Dislike polymer striker fired guns, but the glock 20, 29, and 40 are just badass
It's super flat to 100yds
I just picked up one of these weapons for off duty carry and I'm very impressed with the performance.
It takes a bit of getting used to; but, it's definitely capable of taking care of business.
Hey hickock45,
So last Friday we were testing in school, and our teacher told us when we're finished we can get on our phones and stuff until the end of class. So when I finished I put my headphones on and startied watching this exact video. The teacher glanced at me and saw what I was watching.. He confiscated my phone for watching inappropriate content on TH-cam during school.. Really bs ..
My father, a former marine.. however did come up to the school and sorted them out and got my phone back
I wouldn't have gave them my phone lol and your teacher is nosy.
if you were in health class you really should have been watching porn. so I agree with your teacher in this case.
Ya probably not appropriate for school dipshit.
@Daniel Hertzler lmao I guess I should feel ashamed.. well Dan if it was in the curriculum for sure. But I'm sure it wasnt.. that it was some kid bored in class not paying attention watching random vids. I'm all for education. There's a time and a place to learn about the constitution and our rights! Lol not in the middle of cosmetology class. Haha wtf!
@@skylinefootball What?
Hickok 45 is the best cultural encyclopedia about firearms!!!
I appendix carry a Glock 40. My wife ask me is that your gun or are you just happy to see me? I say, "it's my gun" lol

That's what you call printing.

I am anti glock not a fan at all but YOU have made me make a purchase and reasoning in keeping a glock your reviews go a long way
He makes the biggest pistol look like a regular carry gun 😂
You are awesome hickok45!!thanks I love all 15 of my guns.I really enjoy shooting my glock 19,glock 20 and glock 21 but also my S&Ws,Rugers,Springfields,colt and rock island gun!!thanks for all you do,life is good!!
I believe he was using a Glock 9mm pistol modified to shoot 40mm grenades at 1000 rounds per minute.
Heh
Lol. Imagine the destruction of a weapon like that 😅😂😂🇺🇸
Is that with or without the 30 caliber magazine clips?
Lol u still haven’t changed your name after 8 years. Oh wait. You’re dead!
My wife and I carry the glock 10mm. 20Gen4. We conceal carry and I open carry. We are in NORTH CAROLINA so we have both conceal carry and open carry. We have noticed that when we walk into a restaurant the first thing people see is the guns we have. We have been to the firing range with these guns and they are super nice. Our son is in Law Enforcement and he carries a Glock 45. We are very satisfied with these guns.
hickok45 please influence glock to make factory happy sticks for the 10mm.. its way over due.
30 rd mags are available now finally! Gun mag warehouse has them!
It may work with 45 mags, seems like I recall buying a 10mm barrel for my g21 because of that
Paul Crooks yeah but they’re made by SGM. I ordered one recently but I’d still rather have an OEM glock 30rd mag.
SPM!
kriss vector has a 33rd magazine for the glock g20 i believe it fits the glock 40 also dont hold me to it
I remember when 44 magnum was the top dog. No one ever questioned the power of a 44 magnum against bears, but now that you got all the super magnum handguns out there. The same people treat a 44 magnum like it’s barely good enough for rabbits.
I picked up a used gen 4 model 40 and right away did what I always do when I make a firearms purchase. I looked up Hickok to see what he thinks. We are of one mind; I LOVE this pistol and have discovered that I shoot it very well. Years ago I had a model 23. It was really hard on my oversized hands. That was a 40SW. This big 10 mm is much more comfortable for me to shoot.
Is it Ok for concealed carry ( legal) ?
@@pinoyRN67 I’m only 5’8” and even though I COULD carry it concealed…using a Versacarry OWB on a Rancher belt with a loose jacket or shirt, I like less weight and a smaller frame for EDC. For that, I have a Sig 365x. My model 40 is in a shoulder rig when I’m out on the ranch and might encounter a bear or a wolf.
@@pinoyRN67 as for legality, It is legal where I live in Nevada and Idaho.
@@barntapes3414 what I meant to say is Glock 40 is a huge gun to conceal
@@pinoyRN67 it sure is. However, it CAN be concealed. I carried a Sig 320x Carry IWB and OWB last winter and it’s a challenge due to weight and size, but it’s doable. The model 40 is about the same challenge, but I have found that my Versacarry holsters and belts, which I have for all my auto loading pistols, are a great way to get it done.
Why would anyone vote Hickok down? It doesn't matter what you're demonstrating Hickok. I always enjoy your videos.
ALL HAIL THE 10MM
The noise alone would give a bear a heart attack.
That is what I call shooting. You friend, are a heck of a shot. You know your weapon. Thank you for the show and tell.👍
Really appreciate you breaking things down for us to understand a gun. Your voice is perfect for listening to. Thank You Sir.
I purchased my first handgun on the advice of a former police officer. He told me to get a "Glock 40". I didn't know he meant .40 caliber, so I got the model 40. Imagine my surprise.
😂
This guy is a professional and a character.. he would laugh at you while shooting you..cool!
TRUTH
Would love to see you shoot the EAA/Tanfoglio Witness 10mm. Seems like its another great value 10mm. Crossing my fingers!
Yall see how he was hitting the same holes on the paper 2 liters that man aim is crazy 😂
DAMN IT!! Just when I thought I would not have to but any more guns. Glock goes and does this to me......
The semi-circular tab (or whatever you want to call it) on the front of Gen 4 slides is larger than the Gen 3 slides--due to the dual recoil spring unit that is used. This means that the front of the frame has a larger cutout to match. If you put a Gen 3 slide on a Gen 4 frame, there's a huge gap. On the other hand, the Gen 4 slide can't go all the way onto a Gen 3 frame.
I've had my G40 for a month now and the slide will interchange with my Gen 4 Glock 20. I had a red dot on it but am opting to put an Aimpoint T1 on it over the Triicon RMR.
.40 caliber bullets rock!! 40 S&W or 10mm auto. My two favorite semi auto cartridges.
Awesome gun! When I got my Gen4 23 (used) the original owner had replaced the standard sights with adjustable sights like on your G40. Those things just would not stay zeroed. A local shop stuck some Glock steel sights on for $15.
I just realized hickok has 1.6 Million Subs! That is just Awesome!!!
I hope to add this to my collection by the end of the year . Great video you handle that 10mm like a pro !!!
Did you ever get one?
Just picked up my new Glock 40 MOS today. It's a fantastic piece and worth every penny.
My wife just bought me one of these guns for an early Christmas present. It shoots really well, but while reassembling the gun I can't get the slide on to the frame unless I push on the striker plunger allowing the striker to move forward then I can get the frame and slide back together. I've never had to do that with any other glock. It doesn't seem to affect performance.
+jc6621 Ok,I thought it was just me.
I also thought I was challenged
I just bought this gun and had the same damn problem, I have to pull the trigger out slightly to get it to lock back up lol
I think I might just get a wife like that for Christmas. That way I cant wake up with the glock 40 10mm
Cool you said Alaska! I line in Juneau Alaska, was just at the Gun shop and the first gun the guy recommended was the Glock 40 10 mm. I do a lot off hiking and berry picking in the summer here, and can’t always carry a giant rifle or shot gun , I’m new to Glocks so I really appreciate your videos, I don’t own one yet! But looking too soon , thanks
Just acquired a G40 MOS! I also have a Gen3 G20. Love me some 10mm!!
You prefer the G40 or G20? Can't decide between the two
@@rmuns1262 I loved both. Having the MOS red dot was nice on the G40, but for carry, I preferred the G20 or even the G29.
got my G40 about 2 weeks ago and i love it. I mounted a Burris fast fire III . The Burris is not on the list of compatible optics but it works perfectly. I purchased The 9in barrel for my G20 from lone wolf (like the one in a earlier video) . It fits and functions perfectly in the G40.
Heh. The Glawk Forty is real now.
+Jamal l'Friedchicken Heheh it shoots breddy gud

Wow,that really tore the range up ! Good shooting as always !! You were obviously having fun..
I carry my glock 29sf as my main pistol. love the 10mm round!
I remember the day after the assault weapons ban sunset, around 15 years ago. I went out and purchased 5, 15 round mags for my Gen3 19. Those days could definitely return.
Hey Hickok! Love your channel! I just purchased a G40 and I wondered if you have a recommendation for a good hunting holster that works well with the long slide? Thank you!
Before I had a custom holster made I used the Safariland 578 pro fit holster for large framed hand guns. You
can set the retention you desire and it allows for a reflex sight if you wish to mount one.
Hickok45, I just returned from the range. I had a 6" KKM barrel on my Glock 20 and put it onto my Glock 40 for today's range. It worked without flaw using American Eagle 200 gr FMJ and had impressive accuracy.
Try the Lehigh 10mm Penetrator round. I saw 22plinkster test that round against a bullet resistant laminated polycarbonate (i assume) glass/plate. The regular range round did not penetrate the plate any better than a 9mm. But the Lehigh Penetrator went right through. Short but interesting video.
I'm not sure if it's Underwood or Lehigh Defense Penetrator as he said Lehigh but the box looked like it said. Underwood.
My wife bought me a G40, so far about a 1000 rounds of sellier and bellot 10mm through it, no jams or smiles. However I recently purchased some really hot underwood extreme penetrators pushing a 140grain solid copper bullet at 1,560 fps. It shoots ok if you take your time, but if you do a mag dump or squeeze off more than a few, the infamous Glock smile appears and each successive round gets worse and worse to the point that at about the 13th round the casing had bulged so much in the chamber that the extractor didn't remove the empty and a jam occurred. Upon inspection I was amazed at how close the underwood round came to total catastrophic failure, aka the dreaded squib load? Either way if anyone happens to get their hands on this piece, I highly recommend buying a fully supported after market barrel as the OEM glock barrel is not sufficient to handle successive high power rounds in a rapid fire situation and the risk of injury increases as you dump a full magazine. Had my weapon not jammed I may be in the hospital with injuries. A very nice gun, still extremely reliable, however, Glock fails to inform the consumer that their stock barrels are designed to accept a wide range of low to medium power loads efficiently, but does not fully support the cartridge in the chamber because of this feature, and high power loads may fail and cause injury. don't let this turn you away however, still a very nice platform. I'm gonna try a lone wolf threaded barrel and see how it does
I have a Glock 40, and its well worth the money. Have a Leupold Delta Point on top, and i'm getting some trigger work on it so it will fit me personally. What a firearm.

this guy is amazing when it comes to shooting and breaking down the fundamentals
3:47-3:51 ......I wouldn't mind having that audio as my ringtone hehehehehe
I ❤️ my G40. Out of the 10mm pistols I've used, I shot my best group with the G40. Colt, S&W, Springfield, and Glock 20 and 40, I like the G40 best. It really doesn't seem oversized to me but Im 6'8" 285 and I have some serious sausage fingers so maybe that's why. I was just comfortable with it right away. Never tried a Dan Wesson of any caliber or a sig but I hear they're excellent. This one's a nail driver though and that's why I carry it .
I heard that a Glock 20 could shoot .40 cal and .357 sig with a barrel swap. Would it be possible with this gun with a barrel swap and mag change? That would really ad to the versatility. Keep up the great work.
10mm is bigger than both I think. Or at least has more power
Picked up a Glock 20 for my North Georgia walk the dog bear gun. I love it, recoil is great.
Need this to complete my Glock long slide collection. I already have the 17L and 24
Another good video. Thank you for your attention to gun safety -- that's so important. I'd like to share a story that occurred recently: I was with a family member at the range a few months ago. He had a brand new S&W .380 semi automatic pistol he was going to shoot for the 1st time, which he'd been keeping loaded with factory ammo for concealed carry. I'd mentioned the range did not allow loaded guns inside except on the firing line, so he removed its magazine and cycled the slide a few times to clear the pistol before we entered the facility. Fortunately, I noticed a live round had remained in the chamber despite the slide being cycled. I can't emphasize enough, everyone please LOOK into the chamber as you cycle the slide to clear a pistol. Removing the mag and cycling the slide does not guarantee the gun is empty. By the way, the gun functioned flawlessly other than that isolated issue. There were no more instances of it having a live round stay in the chamber when it shouldn't.
At 25:31 I think a piece of lead or something comes back at him.
You're right. And he's wearing what seems to be normal glasses?
I can't believe this channel is so close to 2 million I remember when it only had 10 k.
+Gleen Quagmire Me either; there's just no accounting for poor taste! :-)
I wanted to let you know @hickok45 if you recall your your visit to Cape Girardeau and also recall your facebook post about the gas station off I55... the gas station i go to almost everyday to fuel up my work truck in the morning? Well that "guns prohibited" sticker on the door has been removed (-: i really wish i woulda ran into you that day!
+Buddy Dry Yes, I recall that station very well.
Can’t tell you as a Glock fan how much I hate people saying “get rid of those factory sights” though Hickok is a gun god, all these vids are proof there’s nothing wrong with factory sites, why bc they’re polymer? Who’s breaking sights? If that’s the case u for sure are breaking the fiber optic ones then.
Can you believe this simple hand gun is Illegal here in California? Sarcasm, I know you can.
+John Norris -I remember when Kalifornia was more akin to other western states like Nevada. The gun culture was still strong there in the 80's with plenty of gun stores, black rifles, etc. It's a shame what happened there. I escaped in the nick of time per 1990.
+Bradley Slackenfelch Bureaucratic thinking began to take over: "allow illegals to live and work here... whoops, they use guns to continue their hecho en Mexico lifestyle! better ban guns!"
What's the thing that gets it banned? Magazine capacity?
+lookoutforchris not on the cali gun roster. no magazine disconnect. rediculous. cause all other gen glocks are fine.
+N395.Bubba and add the new "microstamp" requirement. There have not been any new semiautos added to the "roster" since it took effect. If Glock or any of the other makers allow current roster guns to fall off the roster, those guns will no longer be legal to buy new in California.
I have a 20. Great caliber. The thing Mr. 45 couldn't think of on back the cast lead bullets is the "Gas Check". They help stop the leading problem.
do you think the extra length of the glock 40 will make a difference in stopping a bear compared to the glock 20? thank you sir. i love your videos please keep them coming.
Not really.
Sam Taylor no, but the longer barrel should help with better shot placement at longer distances.
well I guess they don't call em jarheads for nothin.
:D
ha ha, they're good soldiers though.
Definitely a damn fine fiream!!! Good for self defense and hunting, just an all around universal fiream in my opinion!!! I've owned different firearms from different companies and by far Glocks have NEVER failed me or disappointed me EVER!!!!! I love all different types of fireams from collector's pieces to your EDC, but Glocks are my go to no matter what!!!
I remember hickok commenting on .357 sig as having a lot (implying too much) blast. I don't see much consistency in liking the 10 but not liking the 357 very much. They are both a little nasty.
+notsoserious09 .and both are best for the handloader to keep ammo cost down.
The .357 sig feels snappier to me rather than having a harder recoil. Each caliber has their place and both are good for what they were designed for.
I would love to make the leap into hand loading but it's just a few buck too far right now. I don't find the .357 objectionable but one of those 10mm looked pretty hot. I got the feeling Hickok really didn't care for the Sig.
fairly proportional tho eh? I mean heavier G20/21 with a much heavier pellet and lighter G19/17 with 9mm. Besides..and I'm not losing sleep over this..he kept referring to the blast as objectionable. Personally, I get a weird finger pinch/whack shooting the .357, which I don't enjoy but I find some kind of satisfaction in the load for some reason. Weird.
Been watching yo videos since I was 14
#hickok45 Awesome review man, as always. You've probably been asked this a thousand times, but the perspective of distance is impossible to estimate in the video. Can you share the general distances you're shooting for the major targets, including the gong at the back? Keep the videos rolling!
Hickok45 I've been watching your videos for some time now but I might be your newest subscriber, (yesterday). Enjoyed this video on the Glock 40!. Thanks!
I carry the Glock 40 mos with the Delta Point Pro in a Chest Holster here in North Idaho! Great gun for protection out on the trails and a very smooth recoil because of its slide weight. I also run the
Tungsten guide rod and spring and streamtlight .
Awesome! I carry my G40 in a Diamond D Guides Choice chest rig and a Hill People Gear Kit Bag. G40 has suppressor height sights and a McNally trigger.
New video of hickok45 pops up into my main page and I end up getting yet another gun. Sir, you are driving me to bankruptcy.
Glock 20, 29 and now 40! 29 for carry. 20 for bears, 40 for hogs.
+Steven Parsons 40 for bears too, more barrel, more velocity, more power. Throw in some Underwood 140 gr Extreme Penetrator and you are good to go. I only wish they
could make an even heavier round. 200gr would be nice.
+John Norris Only way you can get heavier is if you reload. I just stick to their 200gr JHP for hunting.
***** Im thinking for bear, where HP and Soft lead are a no no, penetration is king when it comes to bear, there is heavier hard cast that is much better but it comes no where close to the penetration of the Xtreme penetrators and on top of that, their hydrodynamic shape actually creates a nice big wound channel without having to deform at all.
John Norris I use the 200gr primarily for hog and deer hunting/defense. It's perfect for what i need. It can also be used for bear in a pinch, however they aren't very common where i hunt in Florida. Within the 10 yards I'd use it for, that is plenty of power and penetration out of the JHP.
+John Norris I'd want a heavier bullet than a 140-gr for bear. 200-gr or 220-gr hard-cast or JSP...even FMJ or alternating JHPs or JSPs with FMJs
