Well, 40 cal is pretty pointless and 10 mm is ballistically superior to any other semi-auto pistol round so not really sure what your point is.


because i can shoot someone with a glock 40 and kill them just as dead

ETA: i dont own a glock, or a 40 just saying

And why have they still not released a single stack 9mm version?


Probably cause the Glock 19 is the most purchased handgun in the US of A. They are making bank, and have an almost flawless product. Simple, good price and goes bang...always.

On a pistol? No thanks. Raise them for a suppressor, but not cowitness.



Why do they even put sights on it if you can't use them with an optic mounted?

Also, using a flashlight can cause a low-intensity dot to wash out (like on my dual-illuminated RMR). So having irons there makes sense.

Storm Lake or Wolf got this covered. If you're serious enough for a suppressor, you need a non shite barrel anyways.



But it's not included from the factory. Stupid move.


EDIT: Tiddles, I've been eating crow for the past couple weeks about not getting a regular DI AR. You've got a solid point.

Well, if you shoot someone with a Glock 40 then you would be shooting a 10mm round at them. Just because you can kill someone with a .40 caliber round doesnt mean it was justified in being invented. It is a pointless round. 9mm or .45 will do in any siutation a .40 is "needed".

That rear sight still being there seems like a distracting PITA.

Now see, that is innovative and pretty damn cool.

But those damn tiny sights make no sense.

I would pay a nice chunk for a 10mm M&P but Smith has yet to do it. At least they put tall sights on their CORE models though.

So now when someone refers to their "Glock fotay" they might mean the 10mm long slide.


Let the confusion begin at the gun counter at your local Academy -
"I need ammo for my Glock 40"

Yeah that was probably a bad name on their part. Considering a 40 will chamber into that gun.

I though the same thing. what a coincidence that the new Glock 10mm is called Glock 40.

same as a 17 will do the same as the 22mag
or a 204 will do the same thing as the 22-250

pointless? sure... but why not have another round. Some people like different things.
