SHOT Show 2015\">10mm GLOCK<\/a>? I do. That\u2019s who. Talk about stopping power. I had a GLOCK 20 for a couple of months during a review and I was smitten. The heavy hitting 10mm round does some serious damage, and the ergonomics of the GLOCK make managing the recoil less difficult.<\/p>\n<p>The new <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bigger-is-better-glock-40-gen4-mos-10mm\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-glock-40-shot-show-2015\" title=\"New GLOCK 40! SHOT Show 2015\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1522\">GLOCK 40<\/a> will have a six-inch barrel and an increased capacity. This will make the rounds incrementally more effective and accurate, and give you more of them. If I lived in bear country, this would now be a serious contender.<\/p>\n<p>Shooting the 40 is easier than shooting a 20. Not by much. It still isn\u2019t a gun for the faint of heart. But the recoil is not much more significant than that of a hot <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=.45%20acp\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-glock-40-shot-show-2015\" title=\"New GLOCK 40! SHOT Show 2015\">.45 ACP<\/a>. Hold it tightly, and it rocks back instead of up.<\/p>\n<p>The GLOCK 40 won\u2019t be a concealed carry piece for many. It will be a large gun, with a long grip and an even longer barrel. But it will be a rocking open carry gun.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30595\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/GLOCK-40-1191.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-glock-40-shot-show-2015\" title=\"New GLOCK 40!

Race fans and competitive shooters who want the option of mounting micro red dots now have an easy solution. They\u2019ll be making the slides for a limited number of guns right now, but more should follow.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it.

No comment. It isn\u2019t here yet.
