I didn’t realize the 10mm had a longer barrel. Makes me want one even more now! Also never heard .45 ACP referred to as 11.5mm. 😂 I’m gonna start messing with my friends with that one.
Although I'm a huge 45 fan I'd have to get the Glock 40 for hunting & such. Thanks for sharing your investment & burning the somewhat expensive ammo. Personally been shooting a pile of 9mm just out of economic necessity . God bless.
Thank you Sir. The G41 is my Everyday carry. I also keep another G41 under my pillow. I own 2 G41’s no need to change firearms from home to carry. It’s all my hands and eyes and soul know. I also like the 10mm as it’s a very nice big firearm . You did a great job. When I’m out in Wyoming or Montana up in the Mountains I carry a S&W 500 4’ But I wouldn’t mind a 10mm I just don’t need a 10mm however I know people who carry a 10mm. So this is a nice video 👍
This is my first video of yours I’ve seen, however, I love several different aspects. Idk if this is your consistent format or not. However, I love the wide variety of ammo you use for each caliber, you show the box specs and real world specs of each round, you show the chrono footage and the close up recoil footage. Your commentary is informative and direct. Well done sir. Two great pistols and two great cartridges compared splendidly! 👍 🍻
I've never come across any of your videos before. I appreciate your approach; you spend enough time covering the parameters of each type of round accurately but still manage to move things right along. Your conclusions are also concise and useful... a good blend that keeps things interesting. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. God bless. Miles
I like the way you scold yourself when missing the targets. Keeping it G rated 😉. Something I don't seem to be able to do. Was surprised at some of the ES on the ammo. Looked like the "smaller named" companies were a bit closer. Great video thanks 👍
I've owned 45s and the 10mm kicks much harder even harder than my 357 I had. Definitely has tons of power and speed. I love it though the recoil is very manageable with a long barrel and a compensator muzzle
Loved this entire video!!! I wish I had seen this earlier. It was completely informative and visually easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to share!!!
This the first time I have seen your channel. Your presentation was concise and informative. I have never had a polymer pistol, Iam and have always been a 1911 guy, but should I get one, you make a good argument for a Glock.
@Len Robbins, thank you for watching and commenting. Since you are a 1911 guy - as am I - I hope you check out my Great Affordable 1911 Series where I reviewed 44 different 1911 pistols two at a time over the course of 22 videos. I've also reviewed many 1911 and 2011-style pistols since that series ended.
I got a Glock 40 thats magnaported to include the slide with a Trijicon SRO red dot. This was made by a firm that was providing guns to the Norwegian Border Guards for polar bear defense. I do have a big supply of Buffalo Bore Ammo. However I've not gotten around to shoot it yet.
I haven't calibrated the chrono, but the .45 numbers are pretty close to factory specs. And 10mm ammo is often loaded more to .40S&W specs these days. Thanks for watching.
Another Fantastic Video Sir!! Thank-you so much for all the work that goes into it. Class Act All The Way! Stay Safe my friend. 🤠👮🏻♂️🇺🇸👍🤠👻😉🌚🐉🍀. B9USA Sr.
Great video!!! Subscribed!! Lots of good effort in you videos!! I personally do not own a G40 or G41 but very nice pistols. I do own a G21 Generation 4 & it’s my home & my EDC pistol loaded with Federal HST 230 grain +P JHP. I feel very safe & protected with my G21 & certainly trust my life with my Glock!!! God bless!!! 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
Some of those velocities for the 10mm seem a bit low. I shoot really cheap Freedom Munition RNFP rounds for practice, and get much closer to the 1200+ fps marker from my G40.
That’s an impressive amount of different ammo which is appreciated. Seems like the chrono readings are measuring much lower than what they should be. I measured Sig’s 10mm 180gr load at 1260FPS using a Glock 40, which is very close to Sig’s spec. The same for the Federal Fusion. Maybe your chrono isn’t calibrated? Then again, some of the .45 ammo measured dead on manufacture’s spec. Can there really be that much variation from manufacture’s spec to reality? If so, they are deceiving their customers.
I haven't had any issues with my chronograph, but I'll admit I haven't had it calibrated. Not worth the expense and I don't doubt its relative accuracy.
Thanks for the careful, measured comparisons. A comparison of group sizes at 25yards would really have rounded out this test, and may have reflected each load's precision a bit better than just the extreme spread. But still thank you for the careful, data-centric comparisons.
This is interesting. I use underwood 200 hard cast in my G35 (.40) woods gun. I figured the 10mm with a 6'' barrel (same length as my G35) would be 300 fps faster, not approx 150-180. Great video, modern ammo is filling the gap and good man for showing all your misses. Great shooting at that range.
Well Sir, you really did a fine job at no small effort or expense here. Well done! Answered a few questions in the back of my mine. Particularly appreciated the Horizontal lined graff. It instantly shows the difference in actual recoil in the different loads and calibres. ;
I appreciate your work. How about compare the Glock 40 to a 6 inch 357 Magnum for a Woods Walk/Hunting sidearm. They are different yet both are used for hunting.
Excellent video !! Sequencially great presentation, very instructive and informative. I also would pick the 10mm for walking trails where larger or dangerous game may cross my path. One alternative to the .45 or 45 +P is the 45 Super; its cases are dimmensionally identical to the standard 45 auto but with a hotter charge and much stronger cases. I chronographed some Underwood 255 grains hard cast at 1080 fps, advertised velocity is 1075. It's a very potent load for the woods. Starline makes the brass and it's excellent. You have to use stronger recoil springs for the Super as well as possibly stronger magazine springs and firing pin spring in the 1911. You mention that you're used to the 1911. If you decided to use one, I would slow down the slide with a flat bottom firing pin stop, creating a better ignition with less escape of gas by slowing down the rear movement of the slide by perhaps one or two thousandth of a second which makes a more efficient, faster shooting cartridge by about 30 to 40 fps. It's important to never shoot a 45 Super load in a standard 45 semi auto that has not had a few improvements done to it such as stronger springs, possibly a buffer ahead of the recoil spring and stronger magazine springs. There are many educational videos on the cartridge. If you're already familiar with it, I apologize for my long post, otherwise either the +P or the Super make good trail guns. The Super being the definite winner in the 45 platform. I have both 10mm and 45 and like both which in my opinion are superb cartridges. I hope to see more of your presentations. Thank you for taking the time to do this very detailed one.
I own a Glock 41 SF Gen 4 (45 ACP 13+1) and am *very pleased* with it. In an urban environment, neighborhoods, I don't see the usefulness of a powerful 10mm. I do well with the 45 auto. I appreciate your comparison presentation, sir 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A guy told me a hypothetical home defense scenario you need may need to hit an intruder through your refrigerator. He said a 10mm would definitely go through the refrigerator, out through the front wall of the house, into your neighbors house, and through their refrigerator.
@@diafplox1 The 10mm is way too powerful for urban environments, thus creating a high civil and criminal liability. Shooting intruders hiding behind a refrigerator is not only legally questionable but possibly closer to the chance of winning the lottery.
When it comes to an urban environment a proper 10mm setup can be safe and adequate. These model 40s are a different beast tho is my point. I wouldn’t never use my model 40 for home defense. But depending on projectile weight, powder load, barrel length, other 10mms can be very balanced for home defense. A light weight hollow point 10mm dissipates it’s energy and velocity faster than an average 45acp while having more stopping power. Shooting anyone is legally questionable by default, even an intruder.I’d take that lotto chance tho if my life was the prize.
@@RidersRange Good for you:) I'm battling cancer and I have been making sure my son has every type of gun I love in his inheritance. So I'm building him a couple of Glock 10mm's . I'm doing one G40 with a ridiculous 4port carver comp and engraving a Godzilla Logo on it for a Glockzilla theme. It's going to be a mile long hand cannon:) I love your videos keep up the good work sir. God bless America:)
I have a 40 with a Lone Wolf barrel and 22lb RSA and get much better deviation, accuracy and 100-200fps velocity increase putting the Underwood 220HC, 140 Penetrator and 155XTP well into the 800 ft lb range
I put a Kkm 10mm for my g41. It’s a lot of power in a light package. Unfortunately I’ve had reliability issues with it (in both 10 and hot 45). I’ve tried numerous things, nothing works. I’m curious if anyone else has put a 10mm in the G41.
I’m stocked with .45 acp, so I’d have to go with that. Would a .44 magnum make a better anti-bear gun? You be the judge. Thanks for Sharing! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not much beats a .44mag (okay, maybe a .50), but that's in a heavier gun with only 6 rounds. I like my .44s, but for a woods walk where there might be a concern, I'll take either the G40 or G41. As always, thanks for watching.
Your Glock 40 velocities are far less than what I got with an aftermarket 6" barrel in my Glock 20. They're even slower than the average I got with the factory 4.61" barrel. I have not chronographed the load in my Glock 40, but now I m curious to see if there is a significant difference. Glock 20, 4.61” barrel, 220 grain Buffalo Bore, 1150 fps average velocity Glock 20, 6” barrel, 220 grain Buffalo Bore, 1256 fps average velocity
That fantastic lens your test and demonstration I congratulate him for being well didactic the strength Jules who plays what style of bullets that shows that practicing with the same type of low according to the jules makes the performance much better I congratulate him I'm in Florida no one has done what you did 45 is the one I sleep with glock 41 mos
I had to double check if those first 3 different types of 10mm actually was 10mm lol. That's ridiculous out of a 10mm ! I get more power out of my Hornady Critical defense .40 in my M&P 40 4.25 inch barrel.
I have a SLR extended mag extension on my 10mm Glock mags. I have a G20 and a G40. They are supposed to be 5+ extensions and they do accept +5 but the 5th round makes it hard to rack the slide. It fits super tightly so I just add +4. Still not bad. It feels very reassuring to walk around or sleep with 20 rounds of 10mm in my gun. I keep spare mags of course but for a G29, G20 or G40, them SLR mags are they way to go. 👍
@@charlesleggett2546 I made a typo. I meant to say an extended slide release but extended magazines get my vote too. I think i got a couple 30 rounders that are Pro Mag at a gun show a while back so not factory... but i have gone out and tested them a couple times and they worked fine. but yes, for carry... 20 rounds of 10mm will definitely leave you feeling safe. LOL i hear ya.
@@charlesleggett2546 I have a Gen 4 G19 that i put an extended slide release on and i love it. Still need to do it with the G40. I'm taking a bunch of stuff to a gunsmith next week. Maybe i'll throw that in there as well.
@@rascalmatt6713 I was having a Gunsmith do all that stuff for me when I 1st starting doing customizations but it's super easy to do it yourself. You'll save a lot of money and time also. Once you do it, you'll see how easy it is. It's not hard at all.
I would not use a 10mm against bear. There are many reports of 10mm taking the entire mag to kill a bear and there was only 1 or 2 lucky shots that penetrated to the organs. It only take 1 255gr 45cal at 900 fps to stop a bear on its tracks. Maybe 1 more to kill it, but its not charging anymore. Do your research.
I did my research. There are more bear success stories with the 10mm than there are failures. Ballistically, the 10mm has superior penetration over the .45ACP - with the right ammo.
I have always carried a .45. I have always loaded with ball ammo to keep from the possibility of over penetration on a real target. I recently got the Glock 20 and 40 to complete my collection. Really LOVE rhe 40 long slide. I am considering carrying it, but my concerns are again over penetration. Not really seeing any ammo that I'm confident will stay in the target, and not come out the rear and compromise an innocent bystander. Anyone with suggestions, I'm all ears.
Many of the 10mm loads seem to be pretty much equivalent to .40S&W loads these days. (I plan a direct comparison in the near future.) If I were to carry a 10mm pistol, I would go for Federal Personal Defense Hydra-Shok, or Hornady Critical Duty. I definitely wouldn't use any FMJ rounds.
@Rider's-Range Critical Defence and Hydra Shocks might go thru 2-3 people lined up. Opposite of want I'm looking for. Not sure if they have the rounds for me to carry it out there. Guess I'm needing an equivalent of old .45 ball ammo in 10mm.
@Allen Yes sir , just regular old stuff. Just with .45 ball, I have never seen over penetration. For the most part stays in the body. For sure will stay in the head. 10mm ball I have, has an exit.
ACP means Automatic Colt Pistol. .45 ammunition is called .45 Automatic . Everyone incorrectly calls the ammunition .45 ACP. Yes, I know they label boxes that way. It is a very common mistake
The .45ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) cartridge was designed in 1904 by John Browning to go along with the prototype Colt semi-automatic pistol, which Browning was also developing for the United States military trials. (The pistol was adopted in it's final version by the military in 1911.) In addition to the official cartridge designation of .45ACP, the cartridge has gone by other names, including .45 Auto, .45 Automatic and 11.43x23mm. All of those designations are for the exact same cartridge. But thinking they are different is a common mistake. Thanks for watching.
That could be interesting, but I'm not in a position to purchase a .45 Colt revolver and ammo. Then, to make it a fair comparison, I would have to get a 10mm revolver with comparable barrel length.
Those 10mm are pansy loads. All of them. Put a 24lb recoil spring in the 41 and load Starline 45 Super brass with Ramshot Enforcer powder and 230gr coated 451 hard cast. Follow Ramshot's load data. You'll get over 1250fps.
I appreciate your comment. However, only a very small percentage of shooters hand load their own ammo. I tested a variety of over-the-counter ammo, including samples of the most potent ammo I could find.
I don't disagree, though there are many folks who spend time in bear country and for many reasons only pack a handgun. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Many companies seem to have down-loaded their 10mm to something close to .40S&W velocities. Maybe I should so a side-by-side with a G20 and G22 for velocity comparison.
@@RidersRange That would be interesting, particularly if you just used Federal ammo for comparison purposes. I think Federal keeps their 10mm loads on the light side on purpose, and it seems to be across the board with all their 10mm offerings. BTW, your channel is great!
Most ammo companies seem to have watered down the 10mm. As much as I like my .44 Mag revolvers, I would take the G40 - with the right ammo - over my S&W Model 629. Thanks for watching.
I didn’t realize the 10mm had a longer barrel. Makes me want one even more now! Also never heard .45 ACP referred to as 11.5mm. 😂 I’m gonna start messing with my friends with that one.
If I had the money, I'd have a .45ACP barrel made with "11.5mm ACP" engraved on it, just for fun.
First time seeing one of your videos. You are a great presenter. Clear, concise, and to the point. Thanks for your efforts

Indiana allows me to hunt Whitetails with the 10mm, but not the .45ACP. There is a good reason why

I put a Kkm 10mm for my g41. It’s a lot of power in a light package. Unfortunately I’ve had reliability issues with it (in both 10 and hot 45). I’ve tried numerous things, nothing works. I’m curious if anyone else has put a 10mm in the G41.
I haven't tried a KKM barrel.
I’m stocked with .45 acp, so I’d have to go with that. Would a .44 magnum make a better anti-bear gun? You be the judge. Thanks for Sharing! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not much beats a .44mag (okay, maybe a .50), but that's in a heavier gun with only 6 rounds. I like my .44s, but for a woods walk where there might be a concern, I'll take either the G40 or G41. As always, thanks for watching.
Your Glock 40 velocities are far less than what I got with an aftermarket 6" barrel in my Glock 20. They're even slower than the average I got with the factory 4.61" barrel. I have not chronographed the load in my Glock 40, but now I m curious to see if there is a significant difference.
Glock 20, 4.61” barrel, 220 grain Buffalo Bore, 1150 fps average velocity
Glock 20, 6” barrel, 220 grain Buffalo Bore, 1256 fps average velocity
Lots of factors may impact velocity and I've found that some quality aftermarket barrels produce slightly higher velocities than some factory barrels.
@@RidersRange I've experienced the same effect, but not to such a high degree. I agree it is hard to qualify.
That fantastic lens your test and demonstration I congratulate him for being well didactic the strength Jules who plays what style of bullets that shows that practicing with the same type of low according to the jules makes the performance much better I congratulate him I'm in Florida no one has done what you did 45 is the one I sleep with glock 41 mos
That was amazing! That you!
Thanks for watching.
I have absolutely no doubt that my first shot with either gun would hit dead center... of the the chronograph.
Hmmm....Thanks for watching.
The 10 mm is a little more powerful than the 45 acp
Yes, it is.
Carried the Hydra Shok for 20 years in my Sig P220 duty weapon.
That's what I carried in my Glock for part of my career. I still have some. Thanks for watching.
How many times did you have to use it?? Other than quals
🗡️NRA⚡AOR🛡️
Thanks for watching.
I just want to recognize that you corrected the factory pig nose on both of those guns before you showed them to anyone.
??? Either you comment was tongue-in-cheek, or I'm missing something here. With the exception of the optics, both guns are box-stock.
I had to double check if those first 3 different types of 10mm actually was 10mm lol. That's ridiculous out of a 10mm ! I get more power out of my Hornady Critical defense .40 in my M&P 40 4.25 inch barrel.
Run-of-the-mill 10mm seems to be about .40S&W velocity these days, but I had to test it. Thanks for watching.
If i could change one thing about the G40 it would be to put an extended mag release on it.
I have a SLR extended mag extension on my 10mm Glock mags. I have a G20 and a G40. They are supposed to be 5+ extensions and they do accept +5 but the 5th round makes it hard to rack the slide. It fits super tightly so I just add +4. Still not bad. It feels very reassuring to walk around or sleep with 20 rounds of 10mm in my gun. I keep spare mags of course but for a G29, G20 or G40, them SLR mags are they way to go. 👍
@@charlesleggett2546 I made a typo. I meant to say an extended slide release but extended magazines get my vote too. I think i got a couple 30 rounders that are Pro Mag at a gun show a while back so not factory... but i have gone out and tested them a couple times and they worked fine. but yes, for carry... 20 rounds of 10mm will definitely leave you feeling safe. LOL i hear ya.
@@rascalmatt6713Ok, Did you change out the release?
@@charlesleggett2546 I have a Gen 4 G19 that i put an extended slide release on and i love it. Still need to do it with the G40. I'm taking a bunch of stuff to a gunsmith next week. Maybe i'll throw that in there as well.
@@rascalmatt6713 I was having a Gunsmith do all that stuff for me when I 1st starting doing customizations but it's super easy to do it yourself. You'll save a lot of money and time also. Once you do it, you'll see how easy it is. It's not hard at all.
I would not use a 10mm against bear. There are many reports of 10mm taking the entire mag to kill a bear and there was only 1 or 2 lucky shots that penetrated to the organs. It only take 1 255gr 45cal at 900 fps to stop a bear on its tracks. Maybe 1 more to kill it, but its not charging anymore. Do your research.
I did my research. There are more bear success stories with the 10mm than there are failures. Ballistically, the 10mm has superior penetration over the .45ACP - with the right ammo.
You should check out those 155 xtp in 10 mL from Underwood
I have 10mm Underwood, but I didn't have comparable .45 ammo. I was trying my best to compare similar ammo through each gun. Thanks for watching.
Good stuff
Thanks for watching.
Where'd you get that hat!?
I'm guessing that's more than 30 years old. I probably got it at some Glock event - Armorer's school maybe?
With most of those 10mm loads, you might as well be shooting 40S&W.
Most 10mm loads seem to be pretty watered down these days. I plan a chronograph comparison between 10 and .40 this summer.
I have always carried a .45. I have always loaded with ball ammo to keep from the possibility of over penetration on a real target. I recently got the Glock 20 and 40 to complete my collection. Really LOVE rhe 40 long slide. I am considering carrying it, but my concerns are again over penetration. Not really seeing any ammo that I'm confident will stay in the target, and not come out the rear and compromise an innocent bystander. Anyone with suggestions, I'm all ears.
Many of the 10mm loads seem to be pretty much equivalent to .40S&W loads these days. (I plan a direct comparison in the near future.) If I were to carry a 10mm pistol, I would go for Federal Personal Defense Hydra-Shok, or Hornady Critical Duty. I definitely wouldn't use any FMJ rounds.
@Rider's-Range Critical Defence and Hydra Shocks might go thru 2-3 people lined up. Opposite of want I'm looking for. Not sure if they have the rounds for me to carry it out there. Guess I'm needing an equivalent of old .45 ball ammo in 10mm.
Isn't ball ammo just regular Full metal jacket ? Which penetrate a lot . There is usually no expansion with it.
@Allen Yes sir , just regular old stuff. Just with .45 ball, I have never seen over penetration. For the most part stays in the body. For sure will stay in the head. 10mm ball I have, has an exit.
@@tcjohnson3437 I would think that would definitely blow right through the average person, I could be wrong though
The cadence you used on Gold Dot 200 would shorten the presentation
ACP means Automatic Colt Pistol. .45 ammunition is called .45 Automatic . Everyone incorrectly calls the ammunition .45 ACP. Yes, I know they label boxes that way. It is a very common mistake
The .45ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) cartridge was designed in 1904 by John Browning to go along with the prototype Colt semi-automatic pistol, which Browning was also developing for the United States military trials. (The pistol was adopted in it's final version by the military in 1911.) In addition to the official cartridge designation of .45ACP, the cartridge has gone by other names, including .45 Auto, .45 Automatic and 11.43x23mm. All of those designations are for the exact same cartridge. But thinking they are different is a common mistake. Thanks for watching.
Enjoyed it. RockOn.
Thanks for watching.
I want a. 10mm but don’t want too many calibers
I know the feeling. Thanks for watching.
More G40 videos!!!!
My video of the G40 shooting both 10mm ammo and .40 ammo over a chronograph will go public this coming week. Thanks for watching.
Thanks alot
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I would like to
To see 45 colt go against the 10 mm with comparable ammo
That could be interesting, but I'm not in a position to purchase a .45 Colt revolver and ammo. Then, to make it a fair comparison, I would have to get a 10mm revolver with comparable barrel length.
Damn gotta get me a 40 now 🥲
I recently filmed the G40 with both 10mm ammo and .40S&W ammo over the chronograph. Stay tuned.
Nice pistols
Thanks. More Glocks to come.
Those 10mm are pansy loads. All of them. Put a 24lb recoil spring in the 41 and load Starline 45 Super brass with Ramshot Enforcer powder and 230gr coated 451 hard cast. Follow Ramshot's load data. You'll get over 1250fps.
I appreciate your comment. However, only a very small percentage of shooters hand load their own ammo. I tested a variety of over-the-counter ammo, including samples of the most potent ammo I could find.
You were using kind of weak ammo for the 10 mm
The Federal and PPU 10mm are on the mild side, but I wouldn't call Underwood or Buffalo Bore 10mm ammo weak.
@@RidersRange fair enough
Also try 150gr it is fast
The answer to your bear question is a 300 win mag, not a handgun.
I don't disagree, though there are many folks who spend time in bear country and for many reasons only pack a handgun. Thanks for watching and commenting.
In 10mm, Federal is notoriously weakened. Their 10mm and 40 S&W loads are practically equal.
Many companies seem to have down-loaded their 10mm to something close to .40S&W velocities. Maybe I should so a side-by-side with a G20 and G22 for velocity comparison.
@@RidersRange That would be interesting, particularly if you just used Federal ammo for comparison purposes. I think Federal keeps their 10mm loads on the light side on purpose, and it seems to be across the board with all their 10mm offerings. BTW, your channel is great!
Big gun fun.
Yup. Thanks for watching.
😎👍
As always, thank you for watching and commenting for the algorithm.
Try 90 gr
Need same weight round on both sides
I got as close as I could with the ammo that was available.
Hows reliability on the Glock 40? Any issues?
Not unless you put a lone wolf aftermarket barrel in it.
…and the winner is: Glock 40 all day long!
You mean you like a 10mm better than an 11mm? Thanks for watching.
@@RidersRange It means I like 670 ft/lbs of energy vs 350 ft/lbs. Or put another way….. 37,500psi vs 21,000psi (SAAMI specs).
Next question?
These guns not enough velocity .gonna go back to my 44magnum
Most ammo companies seem to have watered down the 10mm. As much as I like my .44 Mag revolvers, I would take the G40 - with the right ammo - over my S&W Model 629. Thanks for watching.
Glock man sized x 2
Definitely.
