It's fun for the first couple of months but then you start to realize that it's just obnoxiously big and has no other uses aside from hunting, bear protection, and showing off. Shit you're not going to be doing very often.
In the end the Glock 40 is just a special snowflake, fat ass, expensive to feed, vault queen.

The same could be said for almost any full size handgun over .45acp though. I'm sure most S&W model 29s have spent more time pointed at mirrors than targets or creatures.

You can pick up a P320 Full Size .40 and then when you decide that it's too big, you can swap out the slide and grip module for $350-$450 into the compact, carry and sub-compact sizes.

Takes like 30 seconds to change everything.

I have a Glock 35 in .40 S&W and with the longer slide it kicks about as much as a Glock 19.

It's a really, really fun gun to shoot, even if people hate the caliber.

>>32737135

I had a P250. Hated it--something about the shape of the grip had me hitting the trigger in an uncomfortable way.

>>32737157
>even if people hate the caliber.

What's wrong with .40? It's like a short 10mm special.

So what about 10mm in general? Like if the G40 is too big, getting a G20?

Nothing is wrong with it. It's not 9mm and it's not 10mm so the zealots on this board hate it.

With .40 you are basically firing 9mm +P+ for 1/3 the price.

>>32736966
It would certainly be unpleasant.

>>32737647
The problem with the g20 is that the barrel Length for the caliber makes no sense.

It's really only good for blow fireballs out the front.

This is what's wrong with .40: it does nothing better than the other calibers. It was an answer to a problem nobody really had.

Even the FBI, the original entity who requested the .40 (because 10mm was deemed overkill), is returning to 9mm. It's a dead end caliber.

Just look at this chart. The permanent wound cavity is similar across the board. So what you want is capacity most of all, and 9mm is the king of capacity here.

>>32740585
"Permanent wound cavities" are 100% bullshit outside of rifle calibers. All that matters for handguns is penetration.

The real logic is that there is ZERO difference in handgun caliber lethality. .22 has a higher lethality rate than 9mm.

>>32742215
If the permanent wound cavity doesn't reach a vital organ, all the penetration power in the world won't cause enough bleeding. You're thinking of *temporary* wound cavity.

>.22 has a higher lethality rate than 9mm.
That doesn't mean I would trust a .22 with my life given other options. A .22 that misses the heart by 1.5cm would have been a lethal blow if the bullet was a .38 or larger in diameter.

I carry a G34 IWB. With the right holster a 40 wouldn't be too bad, but it is a lot heavier.

If you want to carry a ten the Glock 29 is probably the most practical choice.

5" barreled .40S&W fascinates me a ton. Also just about perfect for USPSA Major Power

>>32750579
>also just about perfect for MPF
That would be 9mm Major tho. 3-7 extra rounds per mag, less recoil, still enough gas pressure for compensators to work well, no semi-rimmed bullshit like .38super had.

>>32740585
>it does nothing better than the other calibers.

It has more energy than the other big 2.
It's more energy efficient (more for size)
The truncated design of FMJs means they are more like wad cutters than shitty ball nose.
.40 has excellent sectional density in relation to barrier penetration and crush cavities.
.40 has the best barrier penetration performance across the board.


You might not value any of these attributes, and they may not be able to be quantified because of the random and dynamic nature of a pistol fight, but these are real attributes that do effect physical reality, take it for what it's worth.

>>32750621
In my defense I did say "just about"

>>32750637
Its best not to engage the 9mm fags.

They fail to realize they are always trying to justify their smaller shittier round with the big dawgs. Its just a nonstop backpedaling marathon with them, so don't waste your time.

>>32740585
>it does nothing better than the other calibers.
except it makes a bigger hole than lol9mm.
except it carries more energy than lol9mm.
except the capacity (-2 per mag) is negligible, because if 15+1 rounds of .40 doesn't stop them, you failed at the other part of SD, which is not constantly shitposting /k/

>>32750658
Bruh, it's not even in the top 5.
1. 9mm Major
2. 9x21 IMI
3. .38 Super Auto
4. 9x23 Winchester
5. .357 Sig
All offer lower recoil while making MPF, and everything but 9mm Major does so with readily available factory ammo. All but the .357 Sig offer a significant capacity increase over .40 as well.

>>32750720

.450 SMC is a little bit better than .45 super, but whatever. they are essentially the same.

>>32751207
Another thing of note is that while .45 super ammo is a bit more uncommon than 10mm, a .45 gun is a lot more common than a .10

No, just get a 1911 longslide and get a bunch of WC 10 rounder mags.

Put a heavier recoil spring in it and fire 45 Super.

With 10mm you would have more firepower but this way you can have the same firepower and still shoot standard 45 if you want/need to.

And if you live in cuckfornia it doesnt look ebil either (unless comped)

I like those a lot.

The glock 24 gets my fukkin dick hard too, even though you can probably get the same experience in an easier to find package with the glock 40 (just shoot .40 out of it instead of 10mm).

Still, the snowflake factor of a G24 makes me want one badly. I've never seen one IRL.

>>32751207
>>32751277

This, I mean I found out about this because of the .460 row and after doing abit more digging found out that the .45smc/super were basically the same thing just safer

or rather that the 460 conversion is great but the only thing it does to the barrel is changes the size of the chamber to accept the longer cases - it does nothing for barrel strength or durability which means..

> a normal 1911 could fire 460 if it had enough done to compensate for the harder recoil

That tells you right there how brick shit strong a 1911 is to begin with, can fire super overpressure rounds and all it does is wear the gun down faster rather than risk catastrophic failure.

And with a SMC/Super you're Already getting .357 magnum firepower and thats already at the 96% one shot stop probability . . . its a good spot to get off the train.

> and if you wanna handload the 450 is the way to go

> my face when you could be lobbing low velocity 320 grain monsters out (45LC slugs) and not worry about pressure problems because of the case thickness

Its literally a .45 LC, but alot of metal to make it heavy and balanced.

>>32733412

>>32752573
if you can buy a 2' Rhino, you can afford to get a slab sided barrel, or slab sided barrel weight and aristocrat sights added onto it. Then its just a custom grip and you got a close approximation.

OBSERVE.

So follow with me, a Rhino of your color and caliber with a short worthless barrel. Now get a custom length barrel. Now get a barrel shroud.

If you want break bottom, its doable, especially with the aristocrat rib, you could have the rear of it catch on the back of the cylinder housing or something. The Trigun gun is not impossibru, and the Rhio makes a good base.

>>32752100

I had a 1911. Other than the grip shape and the trigger I didn't like it. The engineer in me says it's an inefficient outdated design.

Now if I can fire .45 Super out of a Sig P220 we're talking.

10mm = 10x25mm

.40cal = 10x22mm

They are so ballistically similar the extra cost, size, and rarity of 10mm guns is unjustified. Just shoot .40 +P and it's literally the same thing.

Look at the nearly identical exit wounds. 10mm confirmed meme round.

Rhino barrels are fucking weird though, aren't they?
The seam isn't actually for the barrel, just the shroud

Yeah, but then a hot 10mm is even more powerful.
