How the Glock G40 Stacks Up Against Competitors
Most 10mm pistols fall into two categories: budget imports that can’t handle full-power loads, or custom 1911s that cost twice as much. The G40 splits the difference with Glock’s trademark reliability at half the price of premium alternatives.

Why the G40 Wins for 10mm Shooters
Having run 500+ rounds of Underwood 220gr hardcast through this pistol on our 100-yard range, I’ll take the G40 over any 1911 platform for backcountry defense. The MOS system lets you mount a RMR without gunsmithing, and that extra inch of barrel gives you 100+ fps over standard 10mm pistols.
