Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 10 mm semi options

If you have bullet set back in a properly functioning semi-auto in one of the straight wall service cartridges or similar, you most likely either have undersized bullets or the brass isn't sized correctly. (And some dies are definitely out of spec in that regard.) Neck tension alone is plenty to get the job done without messing up the bullet with a hard crimp.

Don’t know. You’d think.

Call’em.

Your earlier posts on this one have had me intrigued with the EAA - enough so that I just ordered one and it arrived at my FFL yesterday and I'm anxiously waiting for him to tell me to come and pick it up. I think it was the pic of the zombie clown you ventilated that pushed me over the edge! Now I have to decide if the Delta Elite stays or goes...

I wish HK would introduce a 10mm. Preferably in the USP...

I have a whole herd of Xd's. All of them get the Powder river kit from Brownells.


Sporsman's warehouse in Cheyenne WY has one in stock right now. Come and see me.

Put a sprinco recoil rod in it!

DirtFarmer,

Garret holsters makes kydex with a leather lining. I have one for a G30.

Do not know if they make one for the G40, check their website.

My gunsmith is a Glock armorer. He’s said to do a good trigger job on Glocks. The one he did on my G-40 leaves a lot to be desired.

What’s the best aftermarket Glock trigger? Too nice a gun to not have a better trigger.

I’ve used a few different setups on Glock triggers and found my personal preference is the ghost evo elite 3.5 connector fitted for as little over travel as possible while still giving reliable function . The factory trigger bar suits my finger . Everything is polished .
It’s smooth and more consistent in weight through the pull and resets fast . I use the factory springs but you could drop some weight there if desired .

I had an overwatch precision flat faced trigger setup with a ghost rocket connector that was smoother but had more overtravel than I wanted .

...and so it begins - just picked it up and like everything about it, though the trigger could use some work. I hope it shoots as good as it looks and feels.



They sure put 'em in a fancy box...

When loading make sure you have enough crimp to prevent set back. Set back can cause pressures to go way up and if you're already loading max a little set back can be trouble.

Thanks for that info.

Talked to my smith. I'm going to let him work on the G-40 some more. I did mention these aftermarket products. We'll see how it goes.

DF, I have not been able to turn a glock trigger into anything remotely similar to a 1911.

The best triggers I have made have just been spring changes, polishing, and in two cases I used the LS titanium strikers. Just polish the crap out of all the contact points with a dremel wheel and polishing compound, maybe replace the striker with a titanium but polish that as well, then buy some "competition springs"

I know it'll never be 1911 quality, but needs to be better than it is. I've handled Glocks with better triggers, in fact have an older series .45 ACP Glock with a better trigger than this one. And it's stock, no polishing or work done.

You would think they would put their competition trigger in the G40, seems a few people have been unhappy with them. I am seriously looking at the springfield gun, the trigger is very mushy but I tried an XDM 45 acp with a powder river trigger in it, and its a whole lot better than any glock trigger I have ever been able to produce. The word on the street is that the G20/40 are about as accurate as the 10mm XDM's, the XDM grip for me is a bit more comfortable but its about the same diameter as the glock, there is no major difference in accuracy but some folks thing the 29 is a lot more accurate than either. The XDM does not have a MOS cut so no way forward on that front with the Springfield. The springfield has better case support...so its a toss up until you get to the $160 SA trigger replacement. Then the g20 looks a lot better even with its crappy trigger.

Glock triggers always seem to be a 'crap-shoot'. I've owned ~25 of them, and no two triggers are exactly alike!
That being said, I still like them, and there are tons of aftermarket options available.

There are so many aftermarket options, I get lost in the fog.

Hopefully my smith can do something with it. I told him I didn't mind going with aftermarket parts if needed.

He's a good guy, we'll see what he can do.

I never did install an aftermarket trigger in any of my Glocks. Some, like my gen 3 G19(25,000rds) got better with use, some like a Gen4 G21 with ~5K rds never did get any better.
?

I always thought the 3.5# connector was as good as it gets in a Glock.

It’s a diminishing return thing for sure. 3.5 and some spring changes plus polishing.
