Glock 40 10 Mm - Right off the bat I call it the F-350 guns. That's a ridiculous amount of gun for most everyday users, and no one usually takes it to town. It's just big. But there's a reason the F350 was built, because there are users who know what it takes to do a great job. It can be a heavy load, a long distance haul or just a *ss transport.
The G40 Gen4 is chambered in 10mm MOS configuration and combines a full 6-inch barrel for improved velocity with a 15-round magazine capacity. The G40 Gen4 in MOS configuration is a powerful yet lightweight pistol; ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters and sports shooters. It has been given the ultimate semi-automatic game gun choice for the handgun hunter and has proven to be capable of taking game such as whitetail deer, Russian boar and even wild boar.

The new cases are a big step forward for Glock pistols, but I would argue that the G40 is more than that. When the case was opened, it almost spilled out of the contents. Everything is back in the case, just don't forget to improve your Tetris skills.
Gun Review: Glock 40 Gen4
I expected the Glock to be heavier given its size, but it was a gentle giant at just over 28 ounces. Now, I don't even consider it complicated for its size. The pistol is front heavy and has a long slide, but it balances out when the magazine is in place (about 40 ounces). Only after the red dot appeared on top did I find it neutral for long shooting sessions.
The war itself is very big. Those with small hands don't even need to use it without a strap. My wife, who can hold the G17 9mm's middle rear bar reasonably well, found it difficult to hold and reach the trigger at the same time. The smallest position was the most comfortable for my medium sized hands, but the medium holster was the most secure as I tend to hold the gun high and cock. Unlike other competitive Glock pistols, the G40 does not have an extended slide.
I'm sure it will be mentioned a few more times, but for reference purposes, this is the Gen 4 Glock. The device features finger grooves (which work for me), a square textured grip pattern (which I also like), a larger, retracted magazine release, and a very shallow cutout in the trigger guard for the middle finger. It comes with the standard Glock adjustable sights (which work, but are awful), and interestingly, the rear sight actually covers the rear of the bolt a bit. Not sure if this is an engineering oversight, but it's annoying for "perfection".
The MOS system or "modular optical system" is the latest and I have found a wonderful addition to the Glock family. Introduced alongside the G40 and its smaller 9mm/.40 siblings, its factory optics are mounted on slides. It's not innovative by any means, as the aftermarket has been doing this for years, but it's useful and really helps make "perfect" closer to perfect.

Author's note. Unfortunately, the PFI optics shipped separately from Pride Fowler were not compatible with the MOS system. When mounting one of the models, the optic is too far forward to actually press into the bolt of the gun as intended. I took a small Trijicon dot to test the MOS system (not pictured).
Usually, those who want functionality have to buy additional slides, send them for milling or use an adapter plate that puts the optics higher. If it is done in the factory, then it has at least some advantages. When already loaded into the milling machine, it is easy and inexpensive to add cuts, the cut area can be covered instead of a blank, and it provides tighter tolerances than individual loads.
The MOS mounting area is located directly in front of the adjustable rear sight. It is supplied with a profile plate to fit the slide. The combination is excellent and only those with strong eyes or firearms will notice that it can accept optics. The plate is held in place with two Torx head screws and is easily removed for mounting the optic. Adapter mounting plate and selected adapter plate optics. Voila.
After installation, it has another load. The factory displays are too low for any viewing. Another Glock control considering the cost of the injection mold. I know there are tons of secondary systems out there, but at least Glock could have tried.

If one has fired a 10mm before, there is nothing special about the Glock's performance. The cartridge to me is the same as the .40 S&W. There is some stiffness in the recoil, which the double spring and heavier bolt help to absorb, but not so much that I can go on to another paragraph.
Accuracy is still good for my abilities with the Glock, but the wider scope radius helped for just over 1.5″ at 15 yards (Freedom Munitions 180 grain RNFP) using iron sights (I usually shoot about 2″ with the G19 ). After adding the optic (courtesy of PFI – detailed review to come later) I was able to narrow it down a bit more and shoot 2.0″ at 25 yards.
As almost every Glock review has written, the Glock trigger is long, soft, and stiff. However, I'm not a fan of this because Glock chose to do away with the stock that most other pistols have. It really accentuates the passive safety, which after three rounds really caused discomfort in my trigger finger. After 100 rounds I was absolutely disgusted. Of course, individual preference will rule the day, but this is one Glock that needs a secondary switch in my opinion.
Trigger aside, the MOS system really shines on the gun. True to Glocks intended purpose, the addition of optics makes it a "long" gun with real hunting potential. For older eyes or just faster aiming at moving targets, the red dot on the gun flashes. With better trigger control or a better trigger, the G40 could live up to Glock's claims of a great hunting pistol.

However, I would note that handloading will require a longer barrel to get the most out of it. 10mm factory loads are usually "neutered"
Author's Note: While Glock specifically discourages this action, shooting the .40 S&W in 10mm is just as fun, if not more fun, due to the better slide weight to powder fill ratio. Glock says this will void your warranty, and rightfully so, because you're firing the cartridge at the correct head-to-head distance. TFB and I do not recommend doing this at home.
The problem with reviewing Glocks is that they are Glocks. There's never really anything new about them, so writers are left to find the prose. It's no different. The G40 Gen 4 is a Glock that is truly great. This is a great gun for anyone who wants or needs a 10mm. If you don't need 10mm, the trade-offs to get there with more grip and a larger size aren't worth it in my opinion.
On the other hand, the MOS optical mounting system is highly regarded and is a significant step forward for the conservative Glock company. With simple mounting plates for just about every small red dot imaginable (not PFI), it was a versatile system that worked well, although I'm interested to see how different red dot systems cope with so much recoil.

Ultimately, the combination of these two makes the Glock novel. It is a true hand cannon with a 6 inch barrel (although it must be reloaded to take full advantage of this length). Plus, it's reliable, the trigger is great, and you can mount a red dot on it without having to find extra slides or mounting accessories.
So if you need that much of a gun, this is a great feature. If you don't need that much of a gun, get a smaller one, you'll be much happier.
