I hope that comment about rubbing deer piss on you was a joke that’s a good way to get killed by a buck in rut it’s used on some sort of wick or sent bombs as they are called to lure them in not apply it to ones person FYI just thought I throw that out there
Every morning, I wake up before dawn to milk the deer, for the freshest deer pee. Some of it, I use to make butter, while some will be made into cheese for the winter. But the finest, choicest, most delicious-est deer pee, I keep for myself. After fermenting it in a barrel for three months, I filter it, and distill it into the most arouseful scent this side of the Appalachias. Ungulatte -- a scent for powerful men.
Dude, I really enjoyed every minute of this review...every time I thought I was going find something you did to be arrogant, and then you came across as totally humble and down to earth. Very impressed, and I bought a Glock 40 right as the pandemic began, thought it to be absolutely ridiculous and traded it for a brand new HK VP9-L. I miss the Glock, long boy that it is, and am looking for a replacement. This video only solidified that. Nicely done.
The Glock 20 was definitely a saving grace for me when the pandemic hit , all the ammo was flying off the shelf here in San Antonio Texas, I would stand in long lines with other folks who were disappointed when they reached the sales counter and there would be no 9MM available....but there was always PLENTY of 10MM I managed to get a nice stockpile as I didn't have to compete with others , 😀
Dude, fantastic review!! I adore my Glock 40 and find myself reaching for it every time I go to the range. Firing this gun is more fun than being drunk at breakfast and 9mm just doesn’t do it for me anymore. I use my G40 as my home defense gun and OWB carry and haven’t looked back. Several employees at my local gun shop carry Glock 40s and are just enthusiastic about 10mm and the G40. We’re a different breed lol. Welcome to the family!!! Btw, there are 30 round mags that will fit that Glock and are super fuckin’ sick.
I'm from the Netherlands, my wife is from the US and I can't wait to buy this or a Glock20 when I can. I also intend to hike through a lot of bear country for fun and after a ton of research this is the best all-round do everything gun. Great review man! I have only gotten the chance to shoot a bolt action rifle and 12 gauge double barrel in the Netherlands plus Airsoft back in the day. I can't wait to have a blast with this thing, put the heaviest hitting rounds I can find and tame that 10mm on the range!
Love the video. First new gun I ever bought was a model 40 when they first came out. I’ve got close to 3k through mine, my favorite gun to carry around out in the wilderness here in AK. Word of advice for optics, you’re going to need to replace the screws that come in the kit for the optics. For what ever reason they’re super short and won’t hold an optic securely. Also if you want to shoot hard cast, KKM makes amazing barrels and seem to be the only aftermarket barrel that work for the 10mm
Thanks for the kind words! As for the screws, yeah, I hope no one is using the stock Glock screws. The CHWPS plate can be modified to fit this gun, but it'd be nice if they'd release a drop-in model.
Subbed, This has to be one of the most normal gun reviewers on TH-cam. The 10mm glocks are unnecessary, over the top, and you’re probably a fucking maniac if you own one. I got a 20,29,40 and also a 21 in .460 Rowland. Welcome to the club
I've carried a 10mm most of my adult life...starting in 1987. I got the bug after watching Miami Vice and bought a Colt Delta after they had been out a year or two. I shot the first one loose and bought a second. Later I bought a Dan Wesson Pointman 7 in 10mm and shot some local/regional IPSC in the early 90's. Eventually Glock produced this 40 MOS and I just had to have one. It now operates with a 7" KKM barrel and is my CCW of choice. I have an IWB holster that also holds an extra mag. Once you wear it for a while, you don't even know its there.
You've got good taste! How are you liking the KKM thus far? Though I've not found them to be as reliable as I'd like, there are few thing as enjoyable to shoot as a 1911. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience!
I was only five years old in 1987, but I got on the 10mm bandwagon as soon as I could. I have been carrying a Gen III G20 for almost 20 years now, always stoked with something like Double Tap 180 gr Gold Dots or my current favorite, the Underwood 200 gr XTPs. I have been eyeing the G40 for a while now. My only concern is that once I get my hands on one, my G20 will take a back seat and I will feel compelled to carry the G40 with me everywhere!
I'm building a Polymer 80 G20L (basically a gen 3 Glock 40) and I am incredibly excited to try it out. Seeing you geek out over this makes me feel more validated for wanting to build a beast like this :)
Wouldn’t consider myself OCD and never noticed it on the gen 5s I’ve shot, but now that you pointed out the ‘pig nose’, I can’t unsee it. Still looks like this beast would be a great addition to anyone’s collection. 👍🏻
I just want to say I fucking love you man this guy had me in stitches laughing.This review is🔥too btw which is a bonus after laughing so hard man your a gem seriously so glad I found this channel.
Have it with KKM barrel, suprwssor sight , rmr and surefire light. Almost made the mistake of selling it. Instead, bought a recover tactical kit today. Cant wait to make it my truck PCC
I thought of the Same concept buy a Glock 40 instead of all my 9mm unfortunately I couldn’t find one so I went with 357 sig Glock 31 solely for the purpose that the Mm is not common and may be more available at lgs around me
The longer barrel side does help with recoil. Yea there’s more mass but the weight is out front. The weight out front (long barrel, slide) is a counter balance to the rearward reciprocation of the slide. The guns pivot point is in the web of the hand. The slide hitting its rearward travel is the muzzle flip u feel. Having more weight out front is again a counter balance to this aspect of recoil. Tungsten guide rods, wml’s, frame weights, bull barrels and of course long slides all contribute to this counter balance. This why the 17lL was kicked out of competition.
I'm rolling my own with hornady xtp 180 grain over 9 grains of longshot producing 1280 fps outta my stock g20 4.6 barrel at over 650 ft lbs! When I drop in my 6 inch kkm barrel it spikes this same load up to 1380 and over 750 ft lbs! So yeah, that extra inch and a half really puts the cherry on top!
Your face! I like it! I mean, I like the format... okay, I like your face, too. 😉 I recently discovered the magic of 10mm myself, so all of this made a lot of sense.
@@thegunpenguin A Smith Model 10. 🤣 The 10mm was a buddy's Tangfolio that I shot. I had never shot a 10mm before, which is weird and wrong. What was cool is that his gun is really a 9, and he has a 10mm conversion kit for it, so I was able to shoot them back to back, and really get an "apples to apples" comparison. It definitely strikes me as the semi-auto version of 357Magnum.
@@SapperGentleman Your Model 10 is super cool! I'm very jealous of that one. And yeah, I think that comparison is apt. Like .357, the recoil is often overstated, and if you put the time in, it can be extremely effective. I don't dare to think what that Tanfoglio and kit would've cost your friend.
I fucking love my g40 g4 mos. Custom Front serrations, Surefire x300t-b , Halosun SCS mos, plus 1 & stock height night sights, custom butblate makes it awesome. John wick setup
Great video, love my G40 with the vortex venom red dot. Also love the 10mm in general. I carry the G29 when bow hunting, also carry it conceiled. Glock does 10mm in a great way. Its my choice.
Looks like you guys have had better luck with your G40 than mine. I bought one when they first came out with the intention to hunt deer. First off I’ve shot regularly since I was a kid and I’m 55 now. I am a Glock guy. But my G40 is the most inaccurate gun I’ve ever owned. Shooting on a lead sled I get 1 foot groups at 25 yards, 2 foot at 50 yards and can barely hit a half sheet of plywood at 100 yards. And yea I’ve had multiple friends shoot it with the same results and used multiple brands of ammo . I sent it to Glock and they replaced the trigger bar and sent it back with targets showing 3-4 inch groups, only problem is those groups according to Glock was at 15 foot lolol. It just sits in the safe. Maybe one day I’ll gut it and put in all aftermarket parts.
Can you tell me which flashlight you have I have a glock 40 and the type of holster? I have a glock 40 of my own for hunting. And I would like to get both accessories.
I'm glad you're enjoying it! I explain this in detail in the video, but my personal preferences are for the RMR and SRO, depending on what you plan to do with the gun.
@@InstinctiveFirearmReviews I haven't owned a gen. 3 in close to a decade, but, with a few exceptions, most of the OEM connectors are supposedly interchangeable. 6054-4.5lb is the SKU for the minus connector at The Glock Store.
The longer slide gives more recoil because the gunpowder burns more giving off stronger muzzle velocities that returns to the user. The muzzle velocities difference with the g40 and g20 are significant, one inch makes all the difference 😉 great review 👌🏼
Solid review. I have all three 10mm Glocks. Yeah, maybe the 6.2" longslide makes the G40 a bit big for comfortable 'junk-point' carry (i.e., AIWB), but hey, that's what the G29 is for. Regardless, if you own one of these 10mm Glocks, you need to be shooting REAL 10mm ammo or handloads thru it, not the watered-down 40-level junk. You're wasting your money. Just sell or trade your 10mm Glock for a .40-whatever, and be done with it. Turn in your Man Card while you're at it too. 'Cause you're just embarrassing those of us who are serious 10mm users by shooting "10mm poser" ammo (a/k/a .40-level junk!) Not to mention, Sonny Crockett would be disgusted.
@Aaron S .... I've shot all the Big Three Boutiques (Underwood, Buffalo Bore, and LOTS of Double Tap), but primarily shoot UW these days based on his pricing. It's pretty good for factory retail 10mm, and his ammo is the Real-Deal stuff. .... That said, most of what I feed my Glocks is handloaded: jacketed bullets for the G20 & G29, coated Hard Cast 220gn FN slugs for the G40 longslide. Long ago I settled on AA7 and AA9 as my go-to powders for making high-performance reloads. I use AA7 for bullets up to 180gns, and AA9 for the 200grn and 220grn bullets. ... With a 200grn Hornady FMJ-FP over AA9, my "Sonny Crockett Load" easily hits 1210fps! Yep, with that load it's 1985 all over again anytime I go to the range. Just need to get a white Armani jacket and some Wayfarers. LOL!
I see the Glock 40 as being more of animal defense gun than a hunting handgun. If I was going handgun hunting I would get a long barrel revolver. I want to get a Glock 40 to fight off coyotes, wildcats, hogs, and black bears if any attack me.
10mm snob here. Been shooting 10mm since before it was cool. It really ruined other traditional service pistol cartridges for me. Now shooting 9mm and .45 is just so underwhelming and anticlimactic; like going back to masturbating after you've gotten used to real sex. Something is just missing and the entire experience just leaves you feeling " meh." It's alright, in the grand scheme of things, but you really just want the real deal back. And 10mm is the real deal, when you shoot Norma spec handloads and Underwood or Double Tap. Don't forget the 10mm Auto was designed as a duty pistol round to address the increasingly apparent shortcomings of the .45 ACP as a defensive and service pistol round, with input from Jeff Cooper, who was instrumental in developing and modernizing service handgun tactics. The 10mm Auto can be used for "huntin" and even for bear defense, in a pinch. Although if you've seen a grizzly up close in the wild as I have, no handgun is going to feel really adequate. I have taken several deer with my Glock 20, and it does fine. But the main purpose for the 10mm Auto was always anti-personal duty and defensive use, and some of us do in fact carry full power 10mm as our EDC in the woods and the hoods. As a do everything automatic pistol cartridge, the 10mm is about as good as it gets.
“Is that a Glock 40 in your pants? Or are you just happy to see me?” 😂😂I’m in tears. In all seriousness tho when I’m out on the local trails (Alaska resident) I carry my g40. It was a huge debate on this or a huge caliber wheel gun but ultimately I went with this. Very happy to have this by my side in case Smokey the Bear wants to fuck around and find out.
I got the G40 MOS AND a G41 MOS both with KKM extended barrels. ..love them immensely! Whether it's 10MM or 45ACP, They take a bit of adjustment from smaller calibers, BUT once you are used to them, they are SPOT ON and effective! Love shooting long slides in both! I agree it's hard to go back to smaller caliber after you're used to it.
big 10mm guy here. i got the g20 and g29.. it helps to reload when dealing with expensive calibers like 10. hopefully all you re-loaders stocked up on primers per-pandemic.
I love that you are using that gun as a primary sidearm. 10mm has always been a thing for me, and I have lusted over a Glock 40 for a while now. This video got me to subscribe. Also, it helps you are funny.
Best damn, most honest review of the Glock 40 I’ve seen. I have one coming this week. I hope it will help me eliminate some these hogs that ar trying to take over.
Yesss. I've been tryna ring the bell on this piece to all my friends and family for years now. S'good to see somebody else appreciates this monstrosity
I bought the M&P 10MM in 4" at the time. I prefer M&Ps overall to most anything, for the price. Though I do have a couple Glocks. But if I had it to do again, I'd have went with this exact gun. The 40 is just cool. And the extra 2" would be nice - She. One thing I've noticed as well with 10mm, you've got to keep practicing with it. If you lay off 10mm for awhile, it's a fairly rude awakening when you shoot it next lol. It's not like 9 or 40, or even 45. Those I can shoot 5 or 6 and ok, I'm there again. 10mm not so much. not real 10 anyway. Already having that MP10, I have decided I want a big 45. The Glock41 sister to this gun is on my short list. Cheers.
I bought this gun 4 months ago. My girlfriend liked it so much she bought a G29. Of course it kicks like a pregnant mule but I ordered a heavier recoil spring.
i didnt expect such high production quality from a small youtube account so bravo for that. ive been dreaming about a glock 40 mos for about a year and plan to purchase one soon. thank you for making such a good video!
@@alexm566 there may be slight poa drift do to the lighter charge of 40mm, especially at longer distances, but I use 40mm for training and keep sighted (red dot) for 10mm underwood ammo.
Bro, three month's later and I love this gun. Can I carry it in public? Only in winter. That's fine. It's become my nightstand gun with the addition of a TLR-8, replacing my G17 in that regard. 180 JHP for the crib, yet the diversity I've been able to enjoy in range ammo is @#$%ing outstanding. Everything from 180 FMJ from the big companies to 200 grain FMJ from some of the smaller companies. 220 Hard cast BB as well. Holy shit, aside from the 220 it's very smooth. That trigger? dead on review. Now something we need to talk about, you and I. I got the fancy gun, fancy belt. Was not enough of course Han Solo! Got a RIA 1911 in 10mm as well, so because of you I am now two guns deep into 10mm and learning the 1911 platform. Thanks.
Would be neat to see this next to a colt 45 army revolver or something. As a new gun owner just eating this shit up, it would be neat to see what has changed over the last 150 years or so
1. Great idea, and I'll think about some ways to more directly talk about firearms history. 2. Welcome to the sport! We're lucky to have you! 3. Thanks for watching my awful videos!
Smart decision. You got yourself an effectively proven magnum Hunting& Tactical Defensive Pistol! The longer 6.2 inch barrel helps. KKM barrels are a good aftermarket choice of barrel especially when shooting Hard Cast Lead RFN rounds. Excellent for Hunting, Wilderness, Personal Self Defense, Home Defence & Apex Predatorial Beasts. Including, Wild Boar, Big Black Bear as well as Grizzley Bear, Moose, Elk. All you need to stop Wild Boar and Big Bears etc. Are Sold Metal or Hardcast Lead RFN Bullets in the cartridges. Like Underwood, Buffalo Bore, Double Tap, Hornady etc. Glock should come out with a Gen 5 model 40.
I have a G20 and I love it. I reload and 10mm is easy to load for, 9mm is like 22lr for me anymore, just a fun round, I do have a 7" KKM barrel in my G20 so recoil is nothing.
I keep reading long barrel tames recoil but ballistically that isn't true. Longer barrels extend bullet dwell time. Recoil lasts longer and is more severe. Once the bullet leaves the barrel those forces drop to nill. The extra mass of a longer barrel can help mitigate recoil but better that mass was elsewhere.
You described the G40 10mm right on the money. This 10 is the new 9mm. Less snap than my PDP Compact 4". Just as easy follow up shots, fast fast fast. Amazing pistola 💥💥💥💥💥
Do you or don’t you like it? You keep shitting on it, for no reason. You weren’t gonna conceal carry the 20 either, trust me. It’s not that much smaller than the 40 when it comes to EDC. This gun was meant to be both for the woods and the city. They made it for that reason.
First of all, fantastic review! I love my GL 20 and have taken, many hogs, deer and an elk with it. I use 200/230 hard cast with gas check rounds. Foe my edc 180 HP. 10 mm has always been a great secret based on some people hesitant to shoot it based on recoil. 10 mm is also being manufactured by more companies then ever as well. It is a tad bit heavy but I carry it IWB just fine but you need a good kydex holster for sure. The enormous power in the 10 makes it worth wile and I echo your thoughts on the 9mm as well. My 20 is a slight bit pig nosed as well but I am certain it is by design. I have consulted for many gun companies and that is the nature of the beast with a larger framed polymer gun. Hard to beat the Glock,. My only lament is that it should have first come from The USA instead of Austria.. Long story short the work, are safe (if the shooter is safe) and are extremely reliable. Once again great review!
How long have you been shooting 200/230 grain hardcast out of the g20? I have a g40 and some people recommend to to get the 6.5 kkm barrel with titanium rods to handle those 200+ grain hardcasts
@@Stoicexpression I have at least 8 plus years. Standard Glock barrel but gas check bullets. Works just fine and super accurate!!! Had lone wolf barrel 6 “ but got rid of it no need and no extra accuracy!
I love my Glock 40 MOS, I put a 7 inch KKM match grade barrel on it and a 24 lb. spring in it for Buffalo Bore etc. ammo,trigger is fine , and to fiber optic sights. I am 72 years of age and can handle the recoil fine. I loaned it to my son now I can't get it back from him, he love it too.
Northwest retention systems makes really great holsters for this weapon and will make it with lights, optic cuts, suppressor height sights, threaded barrels and make a ton of custom kydex holsters although I paid $120 for a custom holster for this in kryptec print with a ton of extra bells and whistles
just got me a glock 40 im fukin trippin excited haha ammo is expensive but hey the extra power is worth the money to me lol plus its less barrier blind to things
#1 you gotta enjoy what you’re shooting or you won’t shoot it. You’re not crazy. I own 3 10mm’s… the Sig P220 Legion, Magnum Research 1911 Government size, & the Glock 20. Hands down the Sig is in a league all its own out of the 3 but all are amazing. Loved the vid. I subbed. Love 10mm.

It definitely strikes me as the semi-auto version of 357Magnum.
@@SapperGentleman Your Model 10 is super cool! I'm very jealous of that one. And yeah, I think that comparison is apt. Like .357, the recoil is often overstated, and if you put the time in, it can be extremely effective. I don't dare to think what that Tanfoglio and kit would've cost your friend.
That sight radius is going to haunt my nightmares for the next week.
I fucking love my g40 g4 mos. Custom Front serrations, Surefire x300t-b , Halosun SCS mos, plus 1 & stock height night sights, custom butblate makes it awesome. John wick setup
Your channel is so good man love it as much as 10mm
I bought the same holster for mine after watching this 2 years ago
I just got this 40 MOS thanks for the video haven't gotten around to shooting it yet.
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy your G40 as much as I've enjoyed mine.
I got the diamond d outdoors chest rig. With mos cut. Fits well ,ballistic nylon ,very nicely built ,comfortable way to carry such a Beast!
I decided to follow your lead; I've got a few Denalis coming.
Glocks slogan a few years ago for all their longslide pistols was “practical-tactical”.
Mechtech CCU makes this thing insane.
There is enough material if you want to sand of the finger separators. I usually only do it on my subcompacts, that gun looks pretty big.
Great video, love my G40 with the vortex venom red dot. Also love the 10mm in general. I carry the G29 when bow hunting, also carry it conceiled. Glock does 10mm in a great way. Its my choice.
Thanks!
Huntin dammit, didn't you watch the video!!! Lol just kiddin......aaahhhh I see what I did there ;)
does the venom fit without any modification
Awesome review!!
Thank you so much!
Looks like you guys have had better luck with your G40 than mine. I bought one when they first came out with the intention to hunt deer. First off I’ve shot regularly since I was a kid and I’m 55 now. I am a Glock guy. But my G40 is the most inaccurate gun I’ve ever owned. Shooting on a lead sled I get 1 foot groups at 25 yards, 2 foot at 50 yards and can barely hit a half sheet of plywood at 100 yards. And yea I’ve had multiple friends shoot it with the same results and used multiple brands of ammo . I sent it to Glock and they replaced the trigger bar and sent it back with targets showing 3-4 inch groups, only problem is those groups according to Glock was at 15 foot lolol. It just sits in the safe. Maybe one day I’ll gut it and put in all aftermarket parts.
Best video ever comical🤣🤣 took my mine off covid 😷
Thank you so much!
Love my g40, it’s amazing and takes the most hottest of 10mm rounds but I really love my 29sf. Glad I have both #blessed….lol.
Can you tell me which flashlight you have I have a glock 40 and the type of holster? I have a glock 40 of my own for hunting. And I would like to get both accessories.
MILDRED GET MAH GUN

How about a Glock 20 with a G-40 barrel installed!?
Sounds cool to me!
I love my 40 & 20 two bad ass guns
SAME...HAD TO GO BACK THE 40 AFTER MY 20 PURCHASE.
G29 with stock configuration for the waistband. For the woods, drop in a 6 inch barrel + extended mag and grip to recreate the G40.
just got one. love it ! just wondering what is the best mos sight for it?
I'm glad you're enjoying it! I explain this in detail in the video, but my personal preferences are for the RMR and SRO, depending on what you plan to do with the gun.
What holster are you using for open carry? Thank you for the video.
It's the same Midwest Tactical Solutions model that I mention in the video. I've had great luck with it! Thanks for watching!
Glock 40 is the best 40 💪🏼
aimpoint makes a dovetail mount for the micro, directly for glock slides. i bet it would be legit on the g40 ha
I could see that being useful, for sure!
I recently learned that the 9mm blows the lungs out of the body so I switched to the more gentle 10mm 😂😂😂
What is this minus connector you speak off? Is that a ghost connector? I'd like to add this to my gen 3 possibly
It's one of the OEM connectors. I very much like them! It tends to take off a pound or so, most of the time.
@@thegunpenguin can you help me find out what the SKU code is for a gen 3 g 17 9mm?
@@InstinctiveFirearmReviews I haven't owned a gen. 3 in close to a decade, but, with a few exceptions, most of the OEM connectors are supposedly interchangeable. 6054-4.5lb is the SKU for the minus connector at The Glock Store.
@@thegunpenguin you rock
you should do a review compairing walter PPQ to the HK p30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My next non 9mm handgun will be a g40
I highly recommend it!
What holster did you go with?
The same Midwest Tactical Solutions holster in the video. It's excellent!
The longer slide gives more recoil because the gunpowder burns more giving off stronger muzzle velocities that returns to the user. The muzzle velocities difference with the g40 and g20 are significant, one inch makes all the difference 😉 great review 👌🏼
Please tell me what holster you have
As I mention in the video, it's a Midwest Tactical Solutions holster.
Solid review. I have all three 10mm Glocks. Yeah, maybe the 6.2" longslide makes the G40 a bit big for comfortable 'junk-point' carry (i.e., AIWB), but hey, that's what the G29 is for. Regardless, if you own one of these 10mm Glocks, you need to be shooting REAL 10mm ammo or handloads thru it, not the watered-down 40-level junk. You're wasting your money. Just sell or trade your 10mm Glock for a .40-whatever, and be done with it. Turn in your Man Card while you're at it too. 'Cause you're just embarrassing those of us who are serious 10mm users by shooting "10mm poser" ammo (a/k/a .40-level junk!) Not to mention, Sonny Crockett would be disgusted.
What is your most used 10 mm ammo? I'm new to it and want to get recommended choice ammo
@Aaron S .... I've shot all the Big Three Boutiques (Underwood, Buffalo Bore, and LOTS of Double Tap), but primarily shoot UW these days based on his pricing. It's pretty good for factory retail 10mm, and his ammo is the Real-Deal stuff. .... That said, most of what I feed my Glocks is handloaded: jacketed bullets for the G20 & G29, coated Hard Cast 220gn FN slugs for the G40 longslide. Long ago I settled on AA7 and AA9 as my go-to powders for making high-performance reloads. I use AA7 for bullets up to 180gns, and AA9 for the 200grn and 220grn bullets. ... With a 200grn Hornady FMJ-FP over AA9, my "Sonny Crockett Load" easily hits 1210fps! Yep, with that load it's 1985 all over again anytime I go to the range. Just need to get a white Armani jacket and some Wayfarers. LOL!
I see the Glock 40 as being more of animal defense gun than a hunting handgun. If I was going handgun hunting I would get a long barrel revolver. I want to get a Glock 40 to fight off coyotes, wildcats, hogs, and black bears if any attack me.
What holsters you have for your glock 40with light and laser
10mm snob here. Been shooting 10mm since before it was cool. It really ruined other traditional service pistol cartridges for me. Now shooting 9mm and .45 is just so underwhelming and anticlimactic; like going back to masturbating after you've gotten used to real sex. Something is just missing and the entire experience just leaves you feeling " meh." It's alright, in the grand scheme of things, but you really just want the real deal back. And 10mm is the real deal, when you shoot Norma spec handloads and Underwood or Double Tap.
Don't forget the 10mm Auto was designed as a duty pistol round to address the increasingly apparent shortcomings of the .45 ACP as a defensive and service pistol round, with input from Jeff Cooper, who was instrumental in developing and modernizing service handgun tactics. The 10mm Auto can be used for "huntin" and even for bear defense, in a pinch. Although if you've seen a grizzly up close in the wild as I have, no handgun is going to feel really adequate. I have taken several deer with my Glock 20, and it does fine. But the main purpose for the 10mm Auto was always anti-personal duty and defensive use, and some of us do in fact carry full power 10mm as our EDC in the woods and the hoods. As a do everything automatic pistol cartridge, the 10mm is about as good as it gets.
The 10mm was never not cool😂
@@laksivrak2203 Yeah, well, that's like, just your opinion, man... [/the dude]
@@MTMILITIAMAN7.62 it really tied the room together
10mm Guys be like: “Oh yea, Glock 40 is an excellent concealed carry. I appendix that thing all day”😂
You can fit it right down the front of your pants. It's an easy and completely normal thing to do.
Will take a Springfield XD 10 mm over a Glock Anyday a 4.5.
@@christopherarnett2851 It's ok. Sometimes I also enjoy things that aren't good.
6'4. Should work just fine :p
“Is that a Glock 40 in your pants? Or are you just happy to see me?” 😂😂I’m in tears. In all seriousness tho when I’m out on the local trails (Alaska resident) I carry my g40. It was a huge debate on this or a huge caliber wheel gun but ultimately I went with this. Very happy to have this by my side in case Smokey the Bear wants to fuck around and find out.
I got the G40 MOS AND a G41 MOS both with KKM extended barrels. ..love them immensely! Whether it's 10MM or 45ACP, They take a bit of adjustment from smaller calibers, BUT once you are used to them, they are SPOT ON and effective! Love shooting long slides in both! I agree it's hard to go back to smaller caliber after you're used to it.
big 10mm guy here. i got the g20 and g29.. it helps to reload when dealing with expensive calibers like 10. hopefully all you re-loaders stocked up on primers per-pandemic.
Top tier, A-fucking-1, review my brother 🤙🏻
Thank you, my friend!
I love that you are using that gun as a primary sidearm. 10mm has always been a thing for me, and I have lusted over a Glock 40 for a while now. This video got me to subscribe. Also, it helps you are funny.
Thank you so much!
Sweet video on the best mm, my younger brother uses a Glock 20 Gen 4 loaded with 180 grain gold dots from Underwood for home defense
Thanks! Your brother has good taste!
@@thegunpenguin been trying to buy one for 6 mts now
No level of self depreciation will stop me from calling you a bargain bin Leon Kennedy
I can live with that.
Best damn, most honest review of the Glock 40 I’ve seen. I have one coming this week. I hope it will help me eliminate some these hogs that ar trying to take over.
Thanks for the kind words! Let us know how you like the gun. I can't think of a better anti-hog pistol.
Lol who has them in stock?
Yesss. I've been tryna ring the bell on this piece to all my friends and family for years now. S'good to see somebody else appreciates this monstrosity
One day, folks will come to appreciate its ridiculousness!
I bought the M&P 10MM in 4" at the time. I prefer M&Ps overall to most anything, for the price. Though I do have a couple Glocks. But if I had it to do again, I'd have went with this exact gun. The 40 is just cool. And the extra 2" would be nice - She. One thing I've noticed as well with 10mm, you've got to keep practicing with it. If you lay off 10mm for awhile, it's a fairly rude awakening when you shoot it next lol. It's not like 9 or 40, or even 45. Those I can shoot 5 or 6 and ok, I'm there again. 10mm not so much. not real 10 anyway. Already having that MP10, I have decided I want a big 45. The Glock41 sister to this gun is on my short list. Cheers.
I’ve had my G40MOS for about 3 years now and it’s been a great pistol. I mostly use it when backpacking/camping.
I bought this gun 4 months ago. My girlfriend liked it so much she bought a G29. Of course it kicks like a pregnant mule but I ordered a heavier recoil spring.
How does she feel about stubby handle ?
i didnt expect such high production quality from a small youtube account so bravo for that. ive been dreaming about a glock 40 mos for about a year and plan to purchase one soon. thank you for making such a good video!
Nowwww we're talking..... Nice!
I bought a Glock 20, never shot it, and sold it. It was a brick when fully loaded. I regret it now!!!
The 10mm Glocks are excellent, but I could also see handling the 20 and thinking, "This has to go."
Get yourself a 40 S&W barrel for your G40. Feels like a 9mm and you have 2 cartridges to choose from and train with.
Respectfully hell to the nah na noooo!
40 short and weak needs to die out sooner rather than later
would that require adjusting the sights? :/
@@alexm566 there may be slight poa drift do to the lighter charge of 40mm, especially at longer distances, but I use 40mm for training and keep sighted (red dot) for 10mm underwood ammo.
@@stephenfogle8699 lol...ok Karen. 😉
Bro, three month's later and I love this gun. Can I carry it in public? Only in winter. That's fine. It's become my nightstand gun with the addition of a TLR-8, replacing my G17 in that regard. 180 JHP for the crib, yet the diversity I've been able to enjoy in range ammo is @#$%ing outstanding. Everything from 180 FMJ from the big companies to 200 grain FMJ from some of the smaller companies. 220 Hard cast BB as well. Holy shit, aside from the 220 it's very smooth. That trigger? dead on review. Now something we need to talk about, you and I. I got the fancy gun, fancy belt. Was not enough of course Han Solo! Got a RIA 1911 in 10mm as well, so because of you I am now two guns deep into 10mm and learning the 1911 platform. Thanks.
Get a Phlster Enigma TLR1HL or surefire x300 and carry it wearing a swimsuit and t-shirt like me
Would be neat to see this next to a colt 45 army revolver or something. As a new gun owner just eating this shit up, it would be neat to see what has changed over the last 150 years or so
1. Great idea, and I'll think about some ways to more directly talk about firearms history.
2. Welcome to the sport! We're lucky to have you!
3. Thanks for watching my awful videos!
Smart decision. You got yourself an effectively proven magnum Hunting& Tactical Defensive Pistol!
The longer 6.2 inch barrel helps.
KKM barrels are a good aftermarket choice of barrel especially when shooting Hard Cast Lead RFN rounds.
Excellent for Hunting, Wilderness, Personal Self Defense, Home Defence & Apex Predatorial Beasts.
Including, Wild Boar, Big Black Bear as well as Grizzley Bear, Moose, Elk.
All you need to stop Wild Boar and Big Bears etc. Are Sold Metal or Hardcast Lead RFN Bullets in the cartridges. Like Underwood, Buffalo Bore, Double Tap, Hornady etc.
Glock should come out with a Gen 5 model 40.
I have a G20 and I love it. I reload and 10mm is easy to load for, 9mm is like 22lr for me anymore, just a fun round, I do have a 7" KKM barrel in my G20 so recoil is nothing.
I agree, 10mm is a joy to shoot!
I keep reading long barrel tames recoil but ballistically that isn't true. Longer barrels extend bullet dwell time. Recoil lasts longer and is more severe. Once the bullet leaves the barrel those forces drop to nill. The extra mass of a longer barrel can help mitigate recoil but better that mass was elsewhere.
I spend 6 months in the Rockies, I carry the 40 10mm loaded with Underwood. Home SC g48
Can't decide g40 or the g35 g I od rview
Dude people hunt with those like crazy. Not sure how its a dumb gun lol
Did you actually watch the video, or do you struggle with listening comprehension?
I appreciate, recognize and applaud the honesty of this video. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Tennifer and Melonite sound like you're talking about your flings.
You described the G40 10mm right on the money. This 10 is the new 9mm. Less snap than my PDP Compact 4". Just as easy follow up shots, fast fast fast. Amazing pistola 💥💥💥💥💥
I own one and honestly… everything that makes this Glock ridiculous makes it that much more awesome.
Remember: You need hotter loads in the 10mm, or all you have is a big .40 cal.
Truth lol. Recoil looked so tame lol
It's called "practice." I highly recommend it.
@@thegunpenguin Yes everyone definitely can go to range more.
Great vid man! I love my g40.
Thank you so much!
Do you or don’t you like it? You keep shitting on it, for no reason. You weren’t gonna conceal carry the 20 either, trust me. It’s not that much smaller than the 40 when it comes to EDC. This gun was meant to be both for the woods and the city. They made it for that reason.
Awesome Tactical 10MM Glock, Thank you for the great video !!!
First of all, fantastic review!
I love my GL 20 and have taken, many hogs, deer and an elk with it.
I use 200/230 hard cast with gas check rounds.
Foe my edc 180 HP.
10 mm has always been a great secret based on some people hesitant to shoot it based on recoil.
10 mm is also being manufactured by more companies then ever as well.
It is a tad bit heavy but I carry it IWB just fine but you need a good kydex holster for sure.
The enormous power in the 10 makes it worth wile and I echo your thoughts on the 9mm as well.
My 20 is a slight bit pig nosed as well but I am certain it is by design. I have consulted for many gun companies and that is the nature of the beast with a larger framed polymer gun. Hard to beat the Glock,. My only lament is that it should have first come from The USA instead of Austria..
Long story short the work, are safe (if the shooter is safe) and are extremely reliable.
Once again great review!
Thanks!
How long have you been shooting 200/230 grain hardcast out of the g20? I have a g40 and some people recommend to to get the 6.5 kkm barrel with titanium rods to handle those 200+ grain hardcasts

Northwest retention systems makes really great holsters for this weapon and will make it with lights, optic cuts, suppressor height sights, threaded barrels and make a ton of custom kydex holsters although I paid $120 for a custom holster for this in kryptec print with a ton of extra bells and whistles
just got me a glock 40 im fukin trippin excited haha ammo is expensive but hey the extra power is worth the money to me lol plus its less barrier blind to things
#1 you gotta enjoy what you’re shooting or you won’t shoot it. You’re not crazy. I own 3 10mm’s… the Sig P220 Legion, Magnum Research 1911 Government size, & the Glock 20. Hands down the Sig is in a league all its own out of the 3 but all are amazing. Loved the vid. I subbed. Love 10mm.
