Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Another 10mm thread

gunner, I recently obtained this Glock 40, my second Glock. I have a .45 ACP Glock, have not shot it that much.

My gunsmith, a Glock armorer, did a trigger job and it's OK, softer than stock, but takes getting used to. It's nothing like a 1911 trigger. I can shoot 2" or so at 50 yds off a bag with my reloads. Not sure how well I'll be able to do offhand.

This one is the MOS model and I've installed a Trijicon RM-06 reflex sight which is a plus for antique eyeballs.

I'm loading the 180 gr. Horn XTP at around 1,200 fps over 9.2 gr. Longshot. My 550B Dillion is set up and churns'em out. I bought Dillon dies, used a 9mm shell plate, .38-40 powder drop, expander that I already had.

After shooting it a few times, sorta wishing for the Trijicon on a long slide 1911. This is a beast of a gun, probably the baddest Glock ever. 1911 won't go 15 rounds. Getting used to this trigger is the challenge for right now.

Thanks, gunner, for that word of encouragement.

I've got to transfer "off a bag" performance to offhand performance. Not many bench rests out there in the woods...

I'm learning the trigger technique my bud taught me. It does seem to work. dry firing in the shop.

Got a ways to go. Will report.

The 180 Horn XTP/9.2 Longshot load seems to be a good one.

I have found that the polymer frame soaks up a lot of the sharp recoil impulse. Going from a Glock 20 to a Colt Delta Elite in 10mm was an eye opener for me. The recoil in the Colt was significantly sharper than in the Glock 20.

I have a Springfield 9mm target model that's nice.

Also have a Longslide Les Baer .45 ACP. I thought my Gold Cup was accurate until I traded for this Les Baer, thing shoots like a rifle. I guess I could get some .45 ACP loads for hogs, but think the 10mm is a big step up.

A Longslide Les Baer in 10mm would be nice, but they're $2,500. And no Trijicon.

I'm gonna make this Glock work.

Interesting MD and DF, my 5" all steel DW 10mm shoots kinda soft with the 200's at 1200 fps, recoil impulse seems quite mild, never shot a Glock 10mm for comparison, a F/A 454C firing 335 gr hard casts at 1585 is certainly has some sharp recoil impulse, the gift that keeps giving, even 30 minutes after you've cleaned it and put it away. ;]

I was referring to us normal size mortals gunner. A pistol in your big paw probably looks like a child’s cap pistol. 😄
