Glock 40 — all about the Glock 10mm

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all Glock models is the G40. The concept of a “Glock Forty” has become over-generalized and might refer to the caliber or it might simply mean the person has a Glock (maybe) in some unknown chambering. In fact, if you type “Glock 40” into the manufacturer’s website search bar the results bounce back with a list of over a dozen guns and not a single one of them is the actual G40. No wonder there’s confusion.

The Glock 40 Gen4 MOS isn’t a 40 at all but is chambered in 10mm which is technically the predecessor of the .40 Smith and Wesson. This model was designed with handgun hunters in mind thanks to its longer barrel, larger-bore chambering, and optics-ready milled slide — but it isn’t limited to hunting use alone. You can use a full-sized, long-barreled 10mm like the G40 for open carry. Never let it be said that self-defense is only for 9mm.

It was 2015 when Glock finally got around to creating the G40. Glock officially launched the gun at SHOT Show 2015 along with its entire line of MOS (Modular Optic System) guns, giving not only hunters but competition shooters the ability to buy their guns from the factory ready for red dots. The full-size 10mm G20 had already been around for some time at that point but its overall bulk made many shooters consider it unwieldy. It was solid timing for the G40 launch and, if anything, the gun was even more well-received than anticipated.

Basically, the G40 is a streamlined, sexier version of the G20.

Performance

Glocks deliver somewhat predictable overall performance. They’re typically predictably reliable, cycling round after round without complaint, and the G40 is no exception. This model eats everything from Remington Hog Hammer 10mm 155 grain Barnes XPB to Buffalo Bore Heavy 10mm Outdoorsman 220 grain FN to Inceptor Preferred Defense 10mm 90 grain ARX. Yes, really. Not much is better in life than guns that aren’t finicky.

Shooting from the bench at 25 yards the G40 produces five-shot groups averaging 2.5-inches to 3.5-inches depending on the load. It rings steel consistently at 50 yards as well. This is an accurate gun that’s more than suitable for hunting and self-defense use.

The trigger of the G40 is better than triggers found on earlier-generation Glocks. It has an edge for smoothness and reset that’s welcome; you may not be inclined to immediately replace the trigger. According to the Lyman Digital Trigger Pull Gauge, the average trigger pull weight of the G40 is 5 pounds, 5 ounces.

This is a well-balanced gun that isn’t excessively unwieldy for shooting offhand. It’s wise to shoot from a rest of some sort for hunting but it isn’t impossible to fire accurately while standing, kneeling, or prone. Added stability will always aid you in shot placement so whenever possible take the time to brace and support the gun.
