I recently went the G40 route though I haven’t received it yet. Look forward to your report. I like mine, sometimes wished I'd have gone with a 1911 pattern, like gunner500. But, the Glock does have some unique qualities. Getting used to it. DF I recently went the G40 route though I haven’t received it yet. Look forward to your report.

And the g40 is a way better pistol. At least for me.

I think a 7” KKM for my G-40 would be cool. 1” of SS barrel sticking out from the slide would make it an even bigger gun but for hunting, who cares.
DF +1 to all that. I have a 6.6" barrel in my long slide "G20L" (Lone Wolf, yech, but it was the only game in town back then and has since been smoothed and tuned into a slick shooter). It's a long barrel for a semi auto, but feels like the right amount of gun for hot 10mm loads. 200gr WFN @ 1350 fps, etc are very smooth and controllable in that setup and it feels a lot milder to me than a medium/big bore revolver of similar power. Just don't use it for AIWB carry. "Is that a longslide in your pants or ??"

Appreciate your assessment of the G-40. Makes me feel a bit better about my choice. Had some second thoughts, getting used to the trigger.
What do you think of a 7” KKM barrel for the G-40?

The glock would be a lighter than the 1911 and have the typical glock trigger

I have a Kydex holster for my G-40, but it's gonna eventually scratch up the slide; drawing the gun makes too much racket .
I'd like one with a lining.
What holsters are you guys using with the big Glock.

I have a S&W 1006 in 10mm that I like alot. Not made in a while but they seem readily available.

Milwroad, how much does the 1006 weight if you don't mind me asking?

I picked up a Safariland GLS for mine because I like paddle style (it also has belt slots) and didn't want to spend alot. Works well with a red dot but a small bit of slide pokes out

Easy on the finish, quite on the draw. Am still looking. DF

I can’t help with the quiet draw. Maybe look into an all leather setup.

So far it has not caused any scratches to my slides finish. I'm sure however it's not as quiet as well broken in leather. From Safariland website. "The holster body is constructed with SafariSeven™, a lightweight, state-of-the-art nylon blend is completely non-abrasive to a gun’s finish"

Don't know about now but back when the G40 came out there were no leather holsters out there that would fit... Contacted Simply Rugged and he made a CUDA holster for mine... It is a good shooter... Most of the time it is carried in the truck in a Bagmaster Vertical Carry Pouch.... 800 lumen light with green laser...

I hear ya, just a Glock... What about noisy draw? Lined Kydex should be quiet. DF Garret Industries and their Silent Thunder line makes what your after. Leather lined Kydex and they are highly regarded for their quality. https://www.giholsters.com/

Leather lined Kydex and they are highly regarded for their quality. https://www.giholsters.com/Already checked with them. It is about what I'm looking for. They can't accommodate the 6" slide, will have at least 3/4" sticking out. With the tall suppressor sights, I'm concerned about the front sight hanging up with a draw. And, I'm about to order a 7" KKM barrel, which won't hang up, but will be a good bit sticking out. It's the sight that's my main concern, the extra inch of barrel sticking out, not a problem. DF
