    I just bought the G40 over the weekend. Was a little unsure about it because I've never shot a 10mm, or any pistol of that caliber before. All I have to say is that I absolutely love it! Put 100 rounds through it over the course of about an hour 15. Would have kept shooting, but was starting to get low on ammo and we were ready to get out of there. It's a very smooth shooting hand cannon

      @kenmueller1466 10 месяцев назад +1

      @@snipesmcfreely5879 I conceal it, how I do it is with a slightly baggy t-shirt and sweats/cargo pants. I keep it at 12 o'clock, parallel with my genitals. I use a ratcheting belt system like Nexbelt. When you are walking, tighten it, when you are sitting, loosen it (you can do this very discreetly by just pressing the loosen button) so it hangs a little off your body and doesn't poke your genitals. You don't feel it when you're sitting at all if you loosen it a little and tighten when you stand.

    • @kenmueller1466
      @kenmueller1466 10 месяцев назад +2

      Btw, the baggy t-shirt and pants is not unique to the Glock 40. The grip is normal sized, the only different thing about the gun is the barrel length and I solved that with the ratcheting belt and 12:00. You can conceal all the 10mm just like how you would conceal any other gun.

    Good presentation! I have both and wouldn't part with either. They just fill different niches. The 20 is all purpose: range, hiking, home defense, car gun, etc. The 40 is a dedicated precision target gun/hunting gun. The 40 is really more for shooting scenarios where you can really take your time and focus intently on the sights. They're both winners!

    • @HammerStriker
      @HammerStriker  3 года назад +7

    Great review! I just picked up a new G20 yesterday. My wife and I are heading up to Glacier National Park in Montana and I wanted something for bear defense besides bear spray. At first I was thinking I would just pack my Remington 870 Tactical pump with 00 buckshot and slugs but I don’t want to carry a heavy shotgun the whole trip so hopefully the new G20 will alleviate that. I’ll carry the G20 and my wife can carry the bear spray, maybe my Gen 5 Glock 17 as well.

      The G-20 is definitely getting on the edge of something you can easily conceal. The G-29 is relatively easy to conceal and provides close to the same power with slightly lower capacity. I use the 20 or 40 when I am in the woods and have no need to conceal, and the 29 when I need to blend in.

      Hammer Striker The 20 with a shorter barrel than the 40, you said that less powder burns and you loose some power. If you step down to an even shorter barrel with the 29 you will loose even more power due to un burnt powder. At that point wouldn’t it be a better choice to just carry a 40 S&W like the 23 or 27?

      The Rowland is cool but impractical. Ammo is expensive and hard to find and the muzzle brake/ compensator somewhat defeats the tool-less maintenance capabilities of the Glock.
      If your potential quarry/threat is black bear or anything smaller the 10mm will see to it nicely. If griz or polar bear is in your sights, look at something with a wheel loaded with .454/.460/.500.

      @HammerStriker  7 лет назад +1

      Take a look at Underwood Ammo. Very close in cost to Federal or other "range ammo" but at the hot end of the scale (very hot in some cases). Their ammo should have no problem at all cycling your setup, and it is very high quality consistent ammo. They often run Free Shipping events (usually only lasting a day or two).
      At the cheaper end of the scale, I have found Armscor Precision to be fairly hot and can be had very inexpensively. You may want to try a box before committing to it just to be sure.

    I went with the glock 40 just because we have a lot of bears here on Kodiak island and needed all the power I could get. It has the same ballistics as a 357 and the holds clips holds 15 + 1, also I got a 30 rounds clip just in case but I would have the glock 10mm over 44 that only has 6 shots.. it’s all about well placing your shots and I love how fast and accurate I can shoot my glock 40 and able to reload quick as well. It’s a badass pistol for sure. Love the video great Info 👍.

    Gen four or newer are better than the old ones. I had a Gen one or two G20 and part of the plastic on the inside broke on me from the recoil. The inner/outer slide spring works much better, and recoils better than the old style. Guess that's why Glock changed the spring on all their guns now.

    The weight is wrong on the 40 MOS.

These are all unloaded weights with empty magazine installed.

    • @HammerStriker

      I have tried this (dry-fire only) and it does install and cycle. The frames are basically the same, the extension on the slide is how they get the longer barrel and overall length. The challenge is going to be getting a G40 slide/barrel as I do not believe Glock will sell it as a part. You may have to look at the aftermarket companies to see what they may offer.\

    Would it be possible to buy the Glock 20

    • @HammerStriker
      @HammerStriker  7 лет назад

      It is feasible, though possibly not practical.
      The "extra piece" is actually smaller then the dust cover (the part of the frame at the bottom under it) and slides neatly inside of it as the gun cycles.
      One of our viewers did indicated (in one of the comments on this video) that he tried this and the components hung up on each other, I just now tried it with my two Gen 4s (40 is only available in the Gen 4 but the 20 is available in older Gens) and it cycled perfectly (dry cycling - not actual firing)
      So, though it is feasible (at least between Gen 4s) it may not be practical as the cost of buying the "upper" components would likely approach the cost of a new pistol. This is especially true if you are a GSSF member or LEO and have access to the discounts offered to those two groups on the complete pistols.

      It all depends upon the specific combination of red-dot and suppressor sights.
      Suppressor sights come in different heights as well as do red-dots. Researching who has already done it on a particular gun and can indicate a combination of sights/red-dot that works.
      The only ones that reliably co-witness without any effort on your part are "packages" assembled by a manufacturer when the gun comes with the sights and red-dot chosen and pre-installed by the manufacturer.

I have put the upper from a G40 on my G20 and it operated properly during dry-fire (I did not actually fire it with live ammo).

    So from your review, it looks like the 20 would be more versatile. How much more pressure and velocity are you gaining from the 40? I am comparing for Fly Fishing in Bear Country.

    • @HammerStriker
      @HammerStriker  6 лет назад +1

      Not enough to matter, when I chrono'd them it was 25-50fps depending upon the ammo. The greater allure of the 40 is being optic-ready so you can put a micro red-dot on it. That, in my opinion, is more significant since the bear probably will not make an appointment to meet you in the parking lot at a particular time. You will be in an "oh F...! " type scenario and the fast acquisition will help your cause greatly. If you think you will need it in a hurry and need to get one where it counts fast, the 40 being optic-ready may make a good choice, that is why I take it boar hunting (which also tends to come with bears and cats).
      Now, if you are going up North where the bears tend to be of the grizzly persuasion, you may want to look at our Ruger .454 Casull review. A 10mm may give a big griz something to ponder over while he is having a snack, the .454 will send him on his way for sure.

    • @HammerStriker
      @HammerStriker  6 лет назад

      Btw - anything short of a large grizzly in North America can be easily seen to by the 20 or 40 (or even the 29) with Underwood 200gr FMJ. If you are going to be someplace dealing with 2 legged critters where there may be no-shoots around then go with the 200gr XTP (Hollow Point) to ensure the round starts and finishes with the baddie.

    • @crossbowsniper
      @crossbowsniper 6 лет назад +2

      not to criticize, but being familiar with, and carrying the 10mm during certain instances where innocents are around, and having seen/done ballistic gel testing. I do NOT recommend the 200gr in ANY ammo. It gets over 24" bare ballistic gel penetration and 23" penetration through 3 heavy layers of coat and gel. This would result in over penetration and the risk of hitting an innocent. In my opinion, and for what little it's worth, the 155gr loads do the best as they get 13" bare gel penetration and 8" 3 layer penetration, additionally they wind up expanding to 2.5 times their original size. (i.e. started at .400 and ended as .681" diameter per calipers). this causes massive bleeding (so i've been told) and greatly reduces the risk of a punch through. while 200gr dropping someone sounds great you and your subscriber should consider that you are accountable in a court of law (both criminal and civil) for every single round and where it ends up. Just trying to help. great video and i enjoyed it very much. should you decide to try gel testing you might want to consider Clear Ballistics for FBI spec. ballistic gel blocks. That's what i used during my testing of various weights and loads of 10mm factory ammo.

      Valid point. If you only have one gun with you, then you can swap out loads from City to Field.

    • @HammerStriker
      @HammerStriker  6 лет назад

      Overpenetration risk is the reason I choose the XTP bullet for non-hunting use.
      You are correct that the FMJ and JHP not intended for high velocity will get ridiculous penetration, which is great if you are dealing with a hard headed hog or fat old bear out in the woods. Not so great where there are innocents around.
      The XTP, on the other hand, is specifically designed for these conditions and consistently comes in at around 16". With 12-18 being the commonly quoted FBI Penetration range, it drops in just above the middle of the range. It will properly expend even when encountering heavy clothing that can clog some lesser JHP rounds, dumping a massive amount of energy in the process.
      I will load the one that is appropriate for where I am going to go.
