Glock 10mm question

The only time I have seen one fail is from new shooters limp wristing. Of course this is my experience and my

Definitely not a new shooter    and there's no limp wristing here, it failed. 

The spring tension in the magazines weakened over time. They didn't stay fully loaded all of the time either.  One magazine was usually loaded while the other two were either partially loaded, loaded or empty.  They weren't 100% loaded 100% of the time. 

honestly I think the term "limp wristing" gets bandied about way too much as a crutch for a gun that isn't feeding properly, or is on the verge of not feeding properly. 


If the tolerance for feeding properly vs not feeding properly is simply a matter of "wrist stiffness" (which is a misnomer anyways) the gun is on the verge of being unreliable, if not already unreliable.  It should feed no matter how it's fired, upside down, sideways, single wrist, double wrist, good stance, bad stance - it should fire always until empty.

Well I'm thinking a spring is cheap so may as well. Ordered a new spring, some 220's and those 200gr Underwood.  Already into this goat hunt basically all of my annual hunting budget so what's another $8 for a spring

So maybe the mule deers will get a little relief this year?

I highly doubt that. He's got a sickness

only a slight reprieve  I sold this into the wife as a true once in a lifetime opportunity so she allowed for some general fund support    mule deer will be cut back to just double idaho tags and Colorado............

If I'm getting chewed on by a bear and need to fire one-handed with a less than ideal grip the gun better go bang.  I think I'm going to practice (without the bear chewing part) to know the system works under different conditions and postures.  Thanks KF for sharing your experiences with this set up.

Following along, just picked up my new G40 last week and have the alpha wolf barrel ordered.

Sorry KF just re-read my post and wanted to be clear I was not making a reference to your post. Sorry if that was what was communicated.

I use a safariland ALS holster but I ditched the drop leg (flops around too much, grabs too much brush) and went with a low ride very similar to this



I actually want to tape my holster too, as it's loud in the brush as you walk by.

oh no, I'm talking in general.  I hear that term too often and got to the point where I kind of cringe when I hear it 

There is a lot of people that can work on stance and proper shooting technique for sure!   but in the real world you don't always get the opportunity to properly line up on your target

You know, if you shoot a revolver you don't need to upgrade the barrel and springs to get good performance. Besides, if you have either a S&W 610 or one of the newer Ruger GP100 10mm revolvers you can open the cylinder up to shoot 10mm Mags and start getting into some real performance numbers.

I used the stock spring for a few rounds on both my G20 and G29 when I had them and then swapped them out for heavier springs. Heavy loads and light recoil springs beat the guns up pretty bad.

[KFhunter]

nothing wrong with a revolver for self defence, I certainly wouldn't thumb my nose at a guy with a BFR on a chest rig.   

I ran a S&W .460 through its paces deciding if I wanted that or the glock or something else.  I was open to all ideas and ran as many bigger pistols as I could find. 

Obviously I landed on the G20 but I'd carry a BFR too, I do prefer more rounds over less and quicker follow ups with a BFA


I like the new SIG 10mm, but it's spendy and less rounds but I bet it's sweet to shoot. 

[BKMFR]

I have a Glock 40 in 10mm, with Leupold Delta sight, Gunfighter chest holster.... all I shoot in Buffalo Bore, gun is stock 'cept for after market barrel and trigger...… zero problems with shooting heavy loads probably 350-400 to date....

nice!



take that sucker down south and lay into some hogs!
