Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Tell me about Glock 10mm

You bring some good points to the table.

My plan was to go shoot several Glocks today - but my local gunshop started closing on Sundays a few weeks back.........................Guess I'll go next week.

I'd be skippy happy with a 2" group regardless of the trigger.

I find I can slow fire about any trigger somewhat effectively, my 45 colt is creepy and needs fixed one of these days. I tend to shoot a good trigger better with point and shoot situational practice.

I like the 40 and I carry it most days.

Everybody knows I have a gun anyway.

In the old days, hearing anyone say they had the Glock 40 was a sure sign that he didn't know what he was talking about, since what he meant was that he had a Glock 22, 23, or 27, not 40. That was before there actually came to be a Glock Model 40.

Got into 10mm three and a half years ago. So far have owned (in order of purchase):

Glock 40
RIA Combat Commader
PARA USA Elite LS Hunter (now the Remington Hunter)
Glock 20
Glock 29
Kimber Stainless Target II
Ruger GP-100 MC

Glock 40: Great low recoiling gun. Accurate but not as accurate as the 1911s. 100% reliable. Added TruGlo TFO tritium/FO sights and a LW .357 SIG barrel which is a joy to shoot. Also a LW stainless steel guiderod and HD spring. Trigger is stock...is ok but not as nice as the one on my 19 which is also stock.

RIA: Shoots WAY better than the $500 I paid for it. Just as accurate as the 1911s costing 2-3 times as much. 100% reliable. Great sight, nicely braking trigger but throws brass 40+ miles...

PARA: Great shooting gun, very accurate and easy to shoot.

Glock 20: Everyone's darling but mine...just beat my hand to death, especially my trigger finger...after five rounds I would be flinching... Sold it to one of my best friends who is a Glock person and he just loves it...

Gloock 29: Kicked worse than the 20...it also went down the road.

Kimber STT: Wonderful shooter that I made into a muliti-caliber gun with extra barrels and slides. When my eyes are up to it have no problem hitting an 8" gong at 100 yards...

Ruger: Would have made a great LE weapon "back in the day". Will also run .40 S&W but usually a thicker aftermarket clip is required...love mine... Looking for a 3" WC Model now...

If you like 1911 triggers, the Glock is a whole different animal....

Glock fowty problem solver is actually a high point

Great info. After sixty some years shooting everything I could buy, borrow or trade for, a guy came in to the shop with a 20 and he needed money. Unfired but with only one mag. Box, papers, goldish lube still on the rails. Vgave him $250. Have accumulated some brass, hp bullets and dies and a box of Magtech fmj for practice. Next week, devirgination.

Please let us know how it shoots and your impressions.

I saw that. Thanks for posting.

I carry a G40 in a cross draw belt holster. Hornady factory 180 grain SP. changed the trigger, mounted a Trijivon RMR dot sight. It exceeds expectations.

Glock 40 MOS with RMR and Trijicon suppressor sights to co-witness the RMR. I find it much easier to find the red dot this way. My smith is a trained Glock armorer and I got him to do a trigger job. Not 1911 quality, but not bad for a Glock.

Another buddy is a range officer with lots of experience. He says to put the first joint of the trigger finger on the Glock trigger, not use the finger tip as with a 1911. This Gen 4 Glock has a smaller grip, easier to reach around far enough to position the trigger finger as noted. It does seem to work.

This one has a 7" KKM barrel, which is a drop in fit. The two clip Man Gear Alaska holster has enough room to cover the 7" barrel. I found one on Ebay for $46 plus $10 shipping from CDNN, and in the extra cost tan color. Here is the Man Gear Alaska link.

I'm not Mike, but I've got an EAA Witness Hunter 10mm with the 6" barrel. It is a really well made pistol and the trigger is great. It's a shooter too, one hole accuracy at 25yds, and that excellent grip shape really soaks up the recoil. It's been a while since I held one so maybe the later ones are different, but I've never held a Glock that felt good in my hand. The triggers were atrocious too.

damn I have to rent one of those somewhere! One hole accuracy at 25 yards! That's amazing!!!

Also what ammunition where you using? Reloads, factory, bullet weight?? One hole group at 25 yards! How many rounds in the group you shot??

I really like both my EAA's. One is stainless, the other blued. Probably prefer them to my 2 1911's in 10mm (although I really like them also). I need a chance to shoot them more, been seeing lots of hogs on my place, so I hope to get busy on them.

The EAA is a solid pistol, and feels that way. With a powerful handgun, I like heft!

Thank you!

Mike do you get one hole groups as well?

I had a couple EAA 10mm pistols during my search for a good 10mm. They worked, but the platform is not as good for heavy 10mm loads as a 1911 or Glock 20/40 in my experience. The EAA Witness series feel like heavy guns, but the slides are actually pretty light weight and use the same basic format for light 9mm all the way up to hot 10mm. That's great for a 9mm target pistol producing 250-300 ft-lb, the light slides translate to minimal muzzle flip and fast shooting, but not so good for heavy 10mm doing 800-900 ft-lb over the long term. In the two I had, as I worked up loads to the hotter end of the 10mm spectrum accuracy tended to degrade (sometimes wildly) and reliability suffered because of excessive slide speed. With weak "FBI load" factory 10mm ammo they were fine, but there's no point in a 10mm if that's what you want to shoot.

If I were to do another EAA 10mm, it would have to be the 6" Hunter model for the longer barrel and heavier slide.

My standard steel frame models in both 10mm and .45 were decent shooters but were definitely not "one hole at 25 yards". The two I had in 45 were definitely more accurate than the 10mm versions. The Stock II competition model I have now (9mm) is very accurate, but I still wouldn't claim "one hole" even with that one. These can be good shooters, but I wouldn't expect any of the standard models to be exceptionally better than other common 10mm pistols.

Yondering for the glock 20 what have you done if anything to your triggers?
