>>30325925
I have the 29, so I can't help you at all, but I was also abused as a child + love 10mm.
Your first pistol purchase should be a .22 or .38 though. If you're going to build a collection and learn to shoot.
>>30326083
What is this about?
>>30326098
10mm is better
>>30326119
Been shooting for a long long time. Just haven't made a purchase yet. Actually been waiting for aomething like this to come out, so it's perfect. I just wanted opinions. Thoughts. Comments. Constructive dialogue....
>>30325925
If you live in bear country, yes. I have one and it has saved my life twice now. It's over kill for any other purpose unless you live in the woods.
If you don't live in the woods, buy a 17 or 17L or buy a 17 and get a lonewolf longslide and barrel if you just want a big gun.
More capacity is better considering 9mm is plenty for SD/HD
>>30325925
I assume anyone who thinks 10mm is super kewl probably hasn't shot much or at all, especially not 9mm. Especially not 9mm in a full size handgun. It's like literal sexual congress in the missionary position.
>>30325925
>>30326119
Well, you can convert any double stack 10mm or 45 ACP Glock to both 40SW and 357SIG. So there's that. Should only need a recoil spring and a barrel. I don't know anyone who makes conversion barrels long enough, though. I know Lone Wolf makes the M/20 357 SIG and 40SW barrels for the Glock 20/21, and the M/29 357 SIG and 40SW barrels for the Glock 29/30.
>>30325925
Dont do it op, 10mm is npt reliable, get a glock 22 or a 21
Get a 19 or a 17 if you're going glock so you can afford to actually shot it and can easily find ammo so you can actually shoot it. 10mm is by all accounts great but not ideal for first handgun. If you've never shot before 9mm is a great starting point. 22lr is nice, but it has almost no practical application and if you want something for defense and target shooting 9mm is a good place to be.
>>30326475
HOW is it unreliable?
>>30326475
>10mm is "unreliable"
>Recommends 40 short and weak or fuddy five
"No"
I really wish we had country ID's.
>>30326475
^Shit posting with no factual basis
>>30326575
Shitposting indeed. OP here. I already know that I'm going to buy this pistol. It really is the best handgun on the planet, IMO. What about reloads? I hear Glocks are very picky about ammo.
>>30326637
You dont need 10mm unless you live in the woods. Do you live in the woods?
Don't listen to people saying you should get 9mm or 22lr (lol), just get what you think best suits your desires and aesthetics with the firearm. 10mm seems pretty much flawless except for potentially higher cost of ammo.
I will say that 9mm makes the most sense for a handgun. Easily controlled and dirt cheap, you really don't need more than that for any practical scenario involving personal defense against humans. But against animals, ok 10mm
Don't do it op.
Not because their is anything wrong with 10mm. It's fucking awesome.
Don't do it because ammo is so fucking expensive.
If this is your first gun you want something with cheap common ammo that you can shoot alot to get proficient.
Unless you are going hunting or needing bear defense the 10mm won't do much for you, certainly not enough to justify the extra cost.
>>30326637
We all know the 40 MOS is cool but overpowered for anything but defense against large game.
And since when are glocks picky about ammo? My 17 will shoot shitty steel case to hot ass underwood with no problem.
>>30326690
This is for range-shooting. Home & Self Defense. With the right accessories, will carry it concealed once I get my permit.
>>30326725
You aren't carrying it concealed
>>30326725
>GLAWK FOTY as a CC gun
Are you Paul Bunyan?
>>30326637
Dont worry about the complainers op, I too have been shooting for many years and bought a g40mos a few months ago as my first fullsize, I owned and continue to own a ruger lcp before that but wanted a handgun for range fun/woods gun/10mm mustardrice too, pic related is mine, very happy with purchase and is very comfortable to shoot if you have large enough hands like me. Also the additional power of 10mm is certainly useful in close range defensive scenarios, shot placement is of course the most important but only ignorant people deny the advantages of that substantially greater muzzle energy. Also if you dont mind ordering online you can easily find decent 10mm plinker ammo for the 20-25 cent a cartridge range, my glock likes Sellier and Bellot 10mm 180 Grain for plinking and can be had for around that price range in bulk. The S&B stuff is some of the few cheap plinker loads that actually aproach decent 10mm potential rather than just being 40 loads in a 10mm case though even then it only comes up to more of a "Medium Load" as far as 10mm goes but close enough to not leave your practice sessions useless when you have to shoot with proper defensive loads.
>>30326725
CC'ing a 40MOS with an RMR?
>*cough* bullshit *cough*
unless you weigh 400 lbs and wear trenchcoats.
Buy a 17 and stop trying so hard. You will never get proficient with ammo that expensive and you sure as fuck will be wasting your money getting a CC permit when you leave that huge, heavy ass fucking thing on the night stand.
>>30326781
10mm ammo is available in perfectly acceptable 20-25 cent price points with decent loads as I mentioned here, you have to be trolling.>>30326774
Also op another fun accessory for any glock of compact or larger size are these mechtech carbine kits, they attach right onto your glock lower and are ATF approved for conversion both ways as much as you want without manufacturing an SBR, you order by phone but have a look at all of the options on their website first so you can order with the modifications/rail config you want, 10mm out of a 16 inch barrel can give you some ridiculous muzzle energies if you want to start handloading specialized ammo.
>>30326881
That looks like a lot of fun.
>>30326881
Where are you finding this cheap 10mm?
Gonna need a realllly big spoon to find proof in that pudding.
>>30326774
>>30326881
Me here again, the g40MOS could probably be CC'ed without too much trouble if you wear a sportcoat or suit often in a shoulder holster, hell plenty of people have concealed full sized uzi and other smg in a shoulder setup with jackets so it should be an easy enough option but really you can CC any firearm if you put enough effort into it. The shoulder holster setup will only really be limited by your torso depth and how you have your jackets cut, if you already have handmaid or heavily tailored wardrobe your clothier should be plenty able to work with you to have jackets made or altered to adapt to different CC needs and most already will have extensive experience in such needs,
>>30326725
DO YOU LIVE IN THE FUCKING WOODS
>>30326147
Its more gun than most people need, and sorry, but 10mm isn't a common round, so expect to pay more just to stay proficient.
>>30326952
Do you think 9mm is better? Or .45 ACP? What do you suggest?
>>30326980
Please god, no .45 AARP. 9mm until someone develops something better.
>>30326930
My bad, ordered a 1,000 round case more than a month ago and thought the price was lower, going back through my receipts it was more like 32 cents a cartridge, certainly around 52% more than typical 20 cent 9mm plinker or double the really cheap 9mm plinker we have been seeing now for 16 cents, still not huge though, but 9mm will get more ammo for the price.
>>30326980
Yeah that's what I thought. 9mm seems affordable and the ballistics of it seem like it's better than most other pistol calibers anyway.
>>30326147
Just let recoil happen
>>30326709
This senpai. I bought a 22lr for my first because the ammo was piss cheap. It allowed me to get really familiar with the ins and outs. I just picked up a 50 count of the stuff from the store the other day for 4 bucks (not even the shitty russian kind either).
>>30327005
Thank you for being honest. But really though, where did you get it? I need some more food for my delta elite.
>>30326980
5.7mm would be better if it were more common. Shot count > * for anything less than .357mag and you can shove a lot of 5.7 rounds in a double stack mag.
>>30326894
http://www.mechtechsys.com/
Here is the website, they offer a ton of options as well as non glock models, also each frame size for the glock will accommodate a few different calibers of carbine kit, for the g40 it can take the 45acp or 10mm as far as I remember, also the stock and rail options are rather extensive including AR buffer compatibility to gain access to the largest stock market though I like the telestock since it gets the most compact but you might be able to work out a folding stock arrangement with some aftermarket parts using the buffer option.
>>30327075
Hot loaded 10mm produces identical or greater muzzle energy than 357 magnum.
>>30326937
are you a beanpole faggot who goes to a tailor instead of a big box store or something?
fuck off and get a glock 19 for carry. 9mm is plenty.

Here is the stuff I use, to find ammo deals I use these two websites
http://ammoseek.com/
http://gunbot.net/
the earlier link was just the first thing that popped up but you should be able to find plenty of options for any caliber on both sites.
>>30327075
Agreeable. I'd look into buying a five seven if the things didn't basically shoot gold.
>>30327110
>>30327126
No I have my dress clothes handmade by a high end clothier because Im not a fucking poorfag.
>>30327139
your first mistake was thinking that being a richfag made you better than anybody else.
a 9mm will take your life just as easily as mine.
>>30327139
>have my all my cloths hand made
No one wants to hear you brag and show off. You came here for advice. People gave you advice. Stop trying to justify your special snowflake gun to us, you're the one who asked for this.
>>30327164
>Howitzer fired
>>30327139
And 10mm as a range gun makes sense if you can afford that. Why even shop for deals on ammo if you have money coming out of your ass?
also richfag, there are a few high end 10mm pistols on the market that you should be interested in instead of the glock foty.
shit if you're so rich just fucking reload 10mm already.
or get your butler to do it.
>>30327139
>Jew detected

Im not trying to show off and Im not op I was just saying there are a lot of reasons other than strange body proportions
.>>30327206
There isnt any reason to waste money, also hand made clothing from good companies can be had for as low as 600 or so for the entry level, it is a lot cheaper than most people think and is a nice alternative to department store clothing. The poorfag part was just a joke, you really dont need to be making that much to afford 600 dollar jackets especially if you need them for your job. I know plenty of people with a yearly income of 70-100k that have their dress clothes hand made.
>>30327262
Hell I even know enlisted that saved their money to have extremely nice wardrobes made to transition into a corporate job after getting out.
>>30326147
>Been shooting for a long long time.
That don't mean shit.
Just because you've been shooting occasionally for the past 30 years doesn't mean you're proficient. Have you actively trained on a regular basis? Do you go through at least 300 rounds a week?
If not, something like a 10mm or .44 magnum is going to turn you from a shitty shooter to a fucking absolute garbage shooter.

The g40 is no harder to shoot in my experience than a g17 or g26 with how big it is, but I have big hands.
>>30327262
>I know plenty of people with a yearly income of 70-100k that have their dress clothes hand made.
i can see paying 500-1000 dollars for some good motorcycle riding leathers that will save my ass when i crash, made out of kangaroo hides and shit.
fuck that noise for cotton and nylon.
>>30325925
10mm glocks are great fun. All these guys panning them have likely never shot one.
I live in a high firearms per capita area and most people around here have never even shot a 10mm.
Get one, make huge booms, enjoy it
>>30325925
its true they are hard to shoot accurately imo
>>30326147
>Constructive dialogue....
Hahahaha, oh man. I needed that.
get it and shoot 40SW through it during plinking. You might need a lighter recoil spring
DOOO IITTT
>first pistol
>10mm
yah nah...don't do it. Get a 9mm and call it a day.
