Who "hunts" with any Glock? (Yeah, there are videos on You Tube), but being practical who?  Bill T.

Now that there is a pistol design that doesn't date to the 1800's that is appropriate for hunting, you will probably see them turning up in place of the scoped revolvers that have been selling for the last 30 years or so.  ::)

Never heard of 10mm ?
Kind of funny, since the first version was built for the G-20.

Inside The Gun Locker: Carrying A Glock 10mm
by  Robert H. Boatman
12/07/2010

Rumors of the death of the 10mm pistol cartridge and its replacement by the .40 S&W are premature. The talented Ten has simply moved out of town.

When you get out beyond the limits of the city, a .38 or 9mm in your holster seems awfully small. As the most likely theater for a potential armed confrontation opens up from city sidewalk, to high speed freeway, to lonely country road and wide open spaces, even the capabilities of a .40 or .45 may be stretched. When the threat of danger lurks, not in the aching veins of some desperate junkie or the evil eye of an adolescent asphalt-jungle predator, but in the paranoia of a gang of land-grabbing marijuana farmers or the stamping feet of a belligerent range bull – out where the bad guy is more likely to be armed with an AK-47 than a pipsqueak pocket rocket, might even weigh a thousand pounds and wear a set of horns suitable for impaling and tossing your big new truck – you cannot be overgunned. If you carry a revolver, this is .357, .41 and .44 Magnum country. If you carry a semi-automatic pistol, this is the land of the 10mm.

Rock and Roll icon, firearms enthusiast and big-game hunter, Ted Nugent, is known to carry a 10mm Glock as backup on his dangerous-game rifle hunts in Africa and has used the gun as his primary weapon to hunt North American and African plains game. Nugent has taken elk, caribou, bear, boar, ram, Oryx, warthog, eland and zebra with his 10mm, not to mention finishing off a wounded Cape buffalo.


Sounds like enough gun to me.     ::)

Look, I'm all for hunting with a handgun. And as much as I love Glocks, standing on them as a choice for taking game makes as much sense as the Casey Anthony jury. There are simply better guns up to the task. As I said You Tube will provide videos of such things. but if you look hard enough you'll most likely find Porcupines playing the banjo as well.   Bill T.

Yes, the semi auto isn't exactly a proven concept yet since it has only been around for 125 years or so, and of course, 6 rounds is far more practical than 15. Also, we all know how much more effective that .015 diameter difference makes the .44 magnum, plus there are the joys of carrying a much heavier pistol.

Hey now...  Don't go throwing 10mm in the same class as .44 Mag...  .44 Mag. is the Holy Grail!  10mm while only slightly smaller in diamater (actually .030") is only traveling at 2/3rds the velocity a .44 will push a 200 grain XTP.

10mm is cute, and has it's...  "Niche" market.  But still not ready to play with the big boys.  Why Glock isn't jumping all over making them?

Sorry Ted, 10mm is completely outclassed for any hunting (Cat Scratch Fever effecting his mind?), unless your a HUGE Miami Vice fan, or just have to be different for the sake of being different (Ted).  

Self defense?  If you really wanna carry a heavy brick like 16rnds of 10mm around get a Magnum Research cannon.  Or a stubby revolver and a speed loader.  But if your seriously that afraid...  WTF are you doing without a 9 round, 20" shoty?  Move to a better neighborhood for Gods sakes!   ;D ;D ;D
