Well, I dood it!
I have been really interested in the 10mm caliber, so I bought the Glock Model 40 MOS, 10mm.
I have 2 model 35's, gen 3 and 4. The 4 has the MOS, leupold delta pro on it. Both of them have the KKM barrel, and Edge trigger installed. The Gen 3 has a comp.
I did the same thing with the Model 40 MOS, Leupold delta point pro, edge trigger and KKM with comp.
I took it out Saturday, and after getting the Leupold sighted at 20 yards, I shot my last group, 3 rounds, 2 rounds cutting each other, and the 3rd 1/2" lower, shooting with a CTK pistol rest. Needless to say, I am very pleased. Now I need to get the co-witness sights shooting to the same point.
The load I shot is the Hornady 180 grain XTP, 13.2 grains Accurate #9, from the Hornady book, which should be about 1000 fps +, because of the 6" barrel. I will chrono this the next time out to check it.
It is really nice when a plan comes together.

Nice!!
1000 fps ought to be a sweet shooter in a long-slide....with plenty o' room left to step on it a bit if'n you want to ramp it up.

Congrats on the 10MM. I think it's a really good caliber. Pump that think up to full power and let it sing!
Even though you bought a Glock.

Here is a scan of the target I shot. Even I was surprised. I was not expecting this so soon.
There was only about 25 rounds fired at this point.(http://)

You have to be smarter than the computer(?)

I am sooooo friggen jealous ;D
I'll just have to settle for my Gen 3 Glock 20 ( for now) ;)

Well, I went to the range today with the Glock model 40, MOS, 10mm. and I am pretty happy.
I have attached 2 scans of targets.
#1 is with Leupold delta point pro, 2.5 at 20 yards, 6 rounds. Hornady 180 G XTP, 1200 fps,
13.2 grains AA9/
#2 is with the co-witness sights, 15 rounds, and after I settled down, its OK.
Hornady 180 grain HAP, 13.2 grains AA9, 20 yards.

congratulations... I'm working my way down the recoil chain to that of "pussy"... started with a 30/30 in a Merrill, .44mag, .357mag, .45, .40, currently at 9mm... if USPSA ever allows .380's I'm in... (currently waiting for some 95 grain .380 bullets for my 9mm PCC)
-
I think the .40 is great in that it gives you a smaller package than a .45ACP but with a significant gain of power over 9mm. I tried a Springfield Armory XD for a while, but I was shooting Production so there was nothing to gain by going with .40.
I'm kinda like Les. Been downsizing, mainly in the number of calibers. Pretty much stuck on 9mm and .38/.357, with some .44, .45 and I added back .380 last month.
-
15+1 rounds of 10mm is hard to beat for a walking through the woods handgun. Much better than the Government Model .45 or .357 magnum revolver I used to carry when I hunted. I just don't know what I would use a 10mm for now.
-
Frank I have a Eclipse 2 from Kimber in 10MM with a 24 lb spring in it. It works great. It's what I carry when I'm in the woods when I don't carry a rifle and there are hogs around. I don't want to get gored by a hog.
-
I read that a hog's tucks are sharp enough to slice you open. I wouldn't want to carry anything smaller than 10mm if I knew they were around.
