He is a great shot. I love watching him shoot. No camera editing. No cuts in the footage like all the others. He shoots, and you watch. He doesn't need any tricks or gimmicks.

Grandfather of KZfaq man. Still watching videos i seen 5-10 years ago 🙏🏽🤝

My Glock 20 was my first handgun and it's still one of my very favorites. Most versatile handgun I own. Lighter loads for self-defense, or heavy hard-cast slugs for bear or other dangerous game. And it's actually not too bad to carry!

You can see .45 ACP go down range toward the target. With 10mm auto you only see the impact.

It amazes me that I'm watching a 28 minute video of a pistol that was designed 30 +years ago and that hasn't changed much. And it still intrigues me....Awesomeness!!!

I wish the military will adopt a 10mm so ammo will get cheaper.

Darn. Yet another new gun that I now "need."

so ive honestly lost count of how many videos ive watched trying to decide if I want this gun, and this mans genuine enthusiasm has sold it for me. I want to thank you sir!

I carried my Glock 20 in Alaska, now I carry it in Texas too.

Hickock watching your videos in 1080P60FPS is like watching completely new videos. The crisp picture is outstanding. From an Army veteran, I love your show. You have some outstanding reviews. Keep up the good work please!!

It seems like guns have zero recoil with hickock.

You are a frikin surgeon with a handgun. Good lord. Deadly accurate is an understatement.

This was the pistol that made me finally switch from S&W to Glock for many reasons and it is simple once you look the weapon over. The extra length of the barrel means more accuracy when firing also it means that you get more bang for each shot fired. Extra velocity, extra penetration, more impact but the downfall is that it is slower on the draw because more barrel has to clear the holster. To remedy this a drop down rig will give you an equal playing field when drawing as long as you practice firing from the hip on your first shot before bringing the weapon up to a correct shooting position. I have trained like this since I was a Marine on my own time because shooting from the hip was not part of pistol training when I was trained shooting the Berretta 92 back in the early 90's. I also trained all of my family members and friends who wanted me to train them to use a firearm to shoot from the hip along with all the true shooting techniques the Marines taught me. To make a long story short the Gen 4 Glock 40 MOS chambered in 10mm is the finest self defense handgun I have ever owned and that list is a very long one seeing as I am now 43 years old with my first handgun being a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 magnum at the age of 16 but it was limited to six shots and a slow reload time. From there I started buying, testing, and training with as many handguns as possible including surplus handguns from other countries like the Russian CZ52 chambered in 7.62x25 which is another hand cannon but is limited to only 8-9 rounds a load with a slower mag release. The Glock 40 gives you 15 rounds of magnum power bullets, a quick reload like other quality hi cap mag pistols, and a very controllable recoil even with powerful rounds. Honestly I would have stuck with S&W M&P pistols had they kept making a 10mm with hi cap mags like Glock has after all it the was S&W model 1006 chambered in 10mm that got me hooked on the 10mm in the first place. For the life of me I do not understand why the general public would just follow the chosen rounds forced on the majority of police officers, like sheep. All of the officers I know (and there are many) did not care much for the .40 S&W. Don't get me wrong it is a caliber that will kill a human but the 10mm will do the job better hands down. Even the 9mm +p ammo does not compare to the 10mm in speed and power if you buy the correct 10mm ammo. Look at it like this. Most people carry some kind of pocket knife if they have any kind of self preservation sense. A pocket knife is constantly needed in every day life to open letters, cut power cords, scrape your fingernails, etc. but I not only carry a pocket knife for everyday use I also carry a Swiss Army knife that I use to do many more things that pop up in everyday use. The 10mm is like the Swiss Army knife of pistol rounds as it can stop people and it can stop large animals from attacking you. Not to mention if your aggressor is shooting at you from behind cover the 10mm is more likely to penetrate that cover and the attacker too. I will carry the Gen 4 Glock 40 MOS as my EDC defense weapon until S&W (or another quality gun company) makes a model M&P (or similar model) chambered in 10mm (the lack of one was a huge mistake on their part) and even then I would have to test it against my Glock 40 to see if it could deliver the same quality of protection. NOTE: Please do not buy a Jennings or Hi-Point pistol, save up and get a weapon that will not hang up on you when you need it most, your family, your friends, and even your life is worth more than the cheap price of crap weapons.

"Dis is muh glock fordee. Dis is muh problem solver rite heer."

10mm master race shoots holes in the ozone layer and killed the dinosaurs.

whoever does your camera work is phenomenal, props to the unseen hero!

How can anyone not like a hickok45 video, especially about a Glock 40? Great video as usual!

I’ve been watching you for years since the beginning of your channel and It seems like your accuracy gets better with age much love hiccock45

one just showed up at the shop today. sold in 45 minutes. got home and this vid was posted. awesome!

Thanks hickok, my stepson just bought one of these for grizzly protection. I included this as a recommended video to watch. He's a smart fella so I'm sure he paid attention to what you covered.

He hit the nail on the head about the difference between the .40 s&w and the 10mm...anyone who says off the shelf 10mm is the same as a .40 probably has never fired a 10mm and just believes whatever they read in the comments sections from keyboard experts who probably dont even own a gun

He makes the biggest pistol look like a regular carry gun 😂

You are awesome hickok45!!thanks I love all 15 of my guns.I really enjoy shooting my glock 19,glock 20 and glock 21 but also my S&Ws,Rugers,Springfields,colt and rock island gun!!thanks for all you do,life is good!!

Really appreciate you breaking things down for us to understand a gun. Your voice is perfect for listening to. Thank You Sir.

I really love the 10mm for self defense!! I have a Glock 20 and 29 and carry them regularly. I will carry my 29 as a backup for boar hunting in 2020!!!

"gas check" is the words. I think the 10 mm is the best all around semi auto handgun round there is. But that's just my opinion. If I could shoot like you I wouldn't want an optic either.

got my G40 about 2 weeks ago and i love it. I mounted a Burris fast fire III . The Burris is not on the list of compatible optics but it works perfectly. I purchased The 9in barrel for my G20 from lone wolf (like the one in a earlier video) . It fits and functions perfectly in the G40.

I held out on buying a G40 for the last year! Finally got my hands on a 10mm conversion for my 41.... 10mm in the G41 is an awesome combo, but I still LOVE the look of the extra long G40 slide!

Wow. Beautiful. A weapon this size with minimal recoil? OUTSTANDING!

Isn't the 10mm the caliber the FBI wanted to use for all their agents but then later decided to switch to .40S&W because most agents couldn't handle the recoil?

“They can get the job done if you can get the job done.” I love that quote. Caliber doesn’t matter as much as the shooter.

Hickok45 I've been watching your videos for some time now but I might be your newest subscriber, (yesterday). Enjoyed this video on the Glock 40!. Thanks!

Thank you so much for doing this review. I just ordered this G40 from Bud's I hope to have it next week

Christ, the 10mm doesn't mess around!

The semi-circular tab (or whatever you want to call it) on the front of Gen 4 slides is larger than the Gen 3 slides--due to the dual recoil spring unit that is used. This means that the front of the frame has a larger cutout to match. If you put a Gen 3 slide on a Gen 4 frame, there's a huge gap. On the other hand, the Gen 4 slide can't go all the way onto a Gen 3 frame.

Thank you hickok45 you're videos are always on point

Would love to see you shoot the EAA/Tanfoglio Witness 10mm. Seems like its another great value 10mm. Crossing my fingers!

Awesome gun! When I got my Gen4 23 (used) the original owner had replaced the standard sights with adjustable sights like on your G40. Those things just would not stay zeroed. A local shop stuck some Glock steel sights on for $15.

I appreciate your videos...always very informative and educational. Thank you for your eye for detail and teaching spirit.

Howdy hickock45 I wanted to thank you for this review. I love your videos but I had been agonizing over my second handgun. I have a nice small 9 and wanted something bigger and potentially with more power. I almost chickened out but I ended up with a G40. Thanks for this review it helped me fell comfortable with what is my favorite gun ever fired.

I hope to add this to my collection by the end of the year . Great video you handle that 10mm like a pro !!!

I appendix carry a Glock 40. My wife ask me is that your gun or are you just happy to see me? I say, "it's my gun" lol

I just picked up one of these weapons for off duty carry and I'm very impressed with the performance. It takes a bit of getting used to; but, it's definitely capable of taking care of business.

Wow,that really tore the range up ! Good shooting as always !! You were obviously having fun..

You've gotta get more Underwood. It costs 60¢ - 80¢ per round and is the most powerful 10mm you can buy.

I purchased a G40 this summer and installed a Holosun green dot and Trijicon suppressor height night sights. I recently used this pistol to take a nice buck at 45 hards from a stand. Really impressed with both the pistol and the 10mm performance. Update: I swapped out the factory barrel for a KKM threaded barrel so I could install my Bannish 45 suppressor while hunting. Not super quiet. but is now hearing safe without muffs or earplugs. Probably now as close as I can get to a perfect stand hunting pistol.

this guy is amazing when it comes to shooting and breaking down the fundamentals

Great video always enjoy your shows. You give a good perspective on items you review. So i do appreciate how long they are. Thanks for doing some of the hard cast as well. I dont really want to buy a new barrel but like you say a few back woods trips in grizzly country might consider it. I was impressed with the federal hunting ammo i bet that woilf be a great alternative choice to running hard cast for grizzly. Thanks again happy thanksgiving to you and your family from wyoming

I carry my glock 29sf as my main pistol. love the 10mm round!

This is the gun which may actually convince me to buy a Glock(I'm a revolver and steel pistol guy). That darn thing could serve as an anti-aircraft gun. :)

I remember the day after the assault weapons ban sunset, around 15 years ago. I went out and purchased 5, 15 round mags for my Gen3 19. Those days could definitely return.

I went back and re-played your video and you answerred my question on the width. Sorry I was not paying attention. Great Video. Thanks

I've had my G40 for a month now and the slide will interchange with my Gen 4 Glock 20. I had a red dot on it but am opting to put an Aimpoint T1 on it over the Triicon RMR.

Hey hickock45, So last Friday we were testing in school, and our teacher told us when we're finished we can get on our phones and stuff until the end of class. So when I finished I put my headphones on and startied watching this exact video. The teacher glanced at me and saw what I was watching.. He confiscated my phone for watching inappropriate content on KZfaq during school.. Really bs .. My father, a former marine.. however did come up to the school and sorted them out and got my phone back

Hickok45, I just returned from the range. I had a 6" KKM barrel on my Glock 20 and put it onto my Glock 40 for today's range. It worked without flaw using American Eagle 200 gr FMJ and had impressive accuracy.

Great video! I just picked up my new Glock 20 a couple of days ago! Keep the vids coming!

That is what I call shooting. You friend, are a heck of a shot. You know your weapon. Thank you for the show and tell.👍

I purchased my first handgun on the advice of a former police officer. He told me to get a "Glock 40". I didn't know he meant .40 caliber, so I got the model 40. Imagine my surprise.

Cool you said Alaska! I line in Juneau Alaska, was just at the Gun shop and the first gun the guy recommended was the Glock 40 10 mm. I do a lot off hiking and berry picking in the summer here, and can’t always carry a giant rifle or shot gun , I’m new to Glocks so I really appreciate your videos, I don’t own one yet! But looking too soon , thanks

10mm is best mm

hickok45 please influence glock to make factory happy sticks for the 10mm.. its way over due.

Picked up a Glock 20 for my North Georgia walk the dog bear gun. I love it, recoil is great.

i can see the deference in the recoil of the federal premium rounds. NICE. The Glock 40 is one of my favourite guns. Greetings from Holland. I have seen all of your videos.

Definitely a brick but great for a range/competition 10mm

I believe he was using a Glock 9mm pistol modified to shoot 40mm grenades at 1000 rounds per minute.

Thank you Hickok been waiting for this

I have a 20. Great caliber. The thing Mr. 45 couldn't think of on back the cast lead bullets is the "Gas Check". They help stop the leading problem.

Another great video hickok. Even though I'm a certified glockaholic I didn't know this gun existed until my wife bought me one for an early Christmas present yesterday. Put 100 rnds of American eagle 180gr fmj. Great shooter I think I'll use it for whitetail and hogs.

DAMN IT!! Just when I thought I would not have to but any more guns. Glock goes and does this to me......

10mm u say, I need one now just like everything u got! Top channel

I got the Glock 40 about 3 weeks ago dropped in a Longwolf barrel and put on set of Dawson Precision fiber optic sights. Great woods gun

Need this to complete my Glock long slide collection. I already have the 17L and 24

ALL HAIL THE 10MM

Thank you so much. My next pistol is either a glock 40 or a 20 10mm. Being excited about this one for a while!!

At 24:00-24:25, for those who may not be familiar with it, those little brass caps at the base of cast lead bullets are called gas checks.

#hickok45 Awesome review man, as always. You've probably been asked this a thousand times, but the perspective of distance is impossible to estimate in the video. Can you share the general distances you're shooting for the major targets, including the gong at the back? Keep the videos rolling!

Try the Lehigh 10mm Penetrator round. I saw 22plinkster test that round against a bullet resistant laminated polycarbonate (i assume) glass/plate. The regular range round did not penetrate the plate any better than a 9mm. But the Lehigh Penetrator went right through. Short but interesting video.

Great video as always hickok. Love me some 10mm action.

My wife just surprised me with one for Xmas! Awesome gun!

3:47-3:51 ......I wouldn't mind having that audio as my ringtone hehehehehe

Hey Hickok! Love your channel! I just purchased a G40 and I wondered if you have a recommendation for a good hunting holster that works well with the long slide? Thank you!

I just bought one and I can say its my favorite Glock, pistol that I have.

Love it! You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Just acquired a G40 MOS! I also have a Gen3 G20. Love me some 10mm!!

I picked up a used gen 4 model 40 and right away did what I always do when I make a firearms purchase. I looked up Hickok to see what he thinks. We are of one mind; I LOVE this pistol and have discovered that I shoot it very well. Years ago I had a model 23. It was really hard on my oversized hands. That was a 40SW. This big 10 mm is much more comfortable for me to shoot.

Hickok 45 is the best cultural encyclopedia about firearms!!!

0:17 is the first time I ever seen Hickok miss something 🤣🤣😂😂

Heh. The Glawk Forty is real now.

I wanted to let you know @hickok45 if you recall your your visit to Cape Girardeau and also recall your facebook post about the gas station off I55... the gas station i go to almost everyday to fuel up my work truck in the morning? Well that "guns prohibited" sticker on the door has been removed (-: i really wish i woulda ran into you that day!

great video! I learned alot! I'm new to the gun world and that helped! thanks

I just realized hickok has 1.6 Million Subs! That is just Awesome!!!

My wife just bought me one of these guns for an early Christmas present. It shoots really well, but while reassembling the gun I can't get the slide on to the frame unless I push on the striker plunger allowing the striker to move forward then I can get the frame and slide back together. I've never had to do that with any other glock. It doesn't seem to affect performance.

Good shot sir! You're very proficient with all calibers. Do you compete in any competitions?

Just picked up my new Glock 40 MOS today. It's a fantastic piece and worth every penny.

Recently purchased the glock 40 for this years hunting season,EDC my glock 20sf with a cross breed super tuck, have harvested venison & 1 bear with the 20.

I carry the Glock 40 mos with the Delta Point Pro in a Chest Holster here in North Idaho! Great gun for protection out on the trails and a very smooth recoil because of its slide weight. I also run the Tungsten guide rod and spring and streamtlight .

I have a Glock 40, and its well worth the money. Have a Leupold Delta Point on top, and i'm getting some trigger work on it so it will fit me personally. What a firearm.

Great Video!!! I am a huge 10mm fan! I have the 20 and the Smith 1076. I carry the 20 when I am hog hunting and have had success! I know you don't hunt so I think I will like the MOS option. Thanks again!!!!

Another good video. Thank you for your attention to gun safety -- that's so important. I'd like to share a story that occurred recently: I was with a family member at the range a few months ago. He had a brand new S&W .380 semi automatic pistol he was going to shoot for the 1st time, which he'd been keeping loaded with factory ammo for concealed carry. I'd mentioned the range did not allow loaded guns inside except on the firing line, so he removed its magazine and cycled the slide a few times to clear the pistol before we entered the facility. Fortunately, I noticed a live round had remained in the chamber despite the slide being cycled. I can't emphasize enough, everyone please LOOK into the chamber as you cycle the slide to clear a pistol. Removing the mag and cycling the slide does not guarantee the gun is empty. By the way, the gun functioned flawlessly other than that isolated issue. There were no more instances of it having a live round stay in the chamber when it shouldn't.

I heard that a Glock 20 could shoot .40 cal and .357 sig with a barrel swap. Would it be possible with this gun with a barrel swap and mag change? That would really ad to the versatility. Keep up the great work.
