myself out of a NIB Glockamole G40 at my local enabler. I have wanted one, for some reason since the original issue of 10mm Long Slides several years back. I need someone to talk me out of it. $700 all in and out the door, seems like a fare price?
$700 OTD is a more than fair price
They go for that plus tax around here.
$700 OTD is a more than fair price...ditto...
But I am not a .40 cal fan, that caliber causes EVERYbody problems in structural integrity or timing or just about any other safety issue possible. My feelings, anyhow, such as stick with well known 9mm and .45 ACP. Just a peeve of mine, nobody elze need share.
forgot to add, if going .40 cal,
the 10mm far preferable to the S&W...to me...more engineered to take it than the smaller guns.
If I don't like the 10mm, I can drop in a .45 acp barrel.

Have you shot one yet? If not go to a range that rents them and shoot one. I admit the last time I shot one was in the eighties when the Colt Delta Elite came out. I shot one and then shot the Desert Eagle 44 magnum. I could not feel the difference in recoil. Maybe today the 10mm is loaded down so it doesn't recoil so much. I would shoot one first to see though.
Like a 357 to me. Have a S&W 610 first year production

and an AMT Javelina long slide SS single stack 7" barrel. The Javelina leaves a smile, to varying degrees, on the unsupported case at the feed ramp. I like the idea of a double stack 10mm long slide with full support of the case. 10mm 135's at 1500 and 180's at 1250 is right there with a .357.
If I don't like the 10mm, I can drop in a .45 acp barrel.
I don't think that will work - you'll need a complete G41 upper, and may need to also chnage the ejector

Is the OD of the barrel different? Not a problem between a G20 & G21. What I know about Glocks will fit on the tip of a needle.
Rim diameter drives breachface shape,
along with extractor and ejector location, and even rim thickness differs. If one can use the other, they have Glock-slop like I never would have believed.
Among the .40 cals and launchers, if I were to buy one, I would buy the Glock 10mm.

Planning to pick it up Monday.
by the by,
I am no manner of Glock expert. I have owned, and still own, several, and have read a lot. I only play one on TV.
BUT...if one wanted a semi-sorta "magnumized" auto,
the Glock 10mm seems a good way to go.
Unlike their .40 S&W attempts in adapting their military grade slop clearances to the high pressure .40 with results of legend in a bad way, the 10mm was properly designed.
Glock handgun designs have always resulted in downright comfy recoil impulses with a variety of calibers in guns large and small. Truthfully, have often thought of getting one myself.
It's an easy solution

It's easy to shoot, easy to load for, wide variety of ammo available.
What I want is a 45ACP model with a 460 Rowland barrel swapped in, not that's a magnumized tupperware.
What you mean, "not like the 10mm"?!!?

Just had to jerk your chain a bit. We are very well here, thanks. Missed seeing you this spring in AR.
HAHAHA!

Rotater cuff surgery to repair a massive tare, Docs description, that week. Plan to attend next year. Already have half a yard pass earned. Maybe we can "Shoot the Chain" again with that .358.
Brought the G40 OS home today.
Sounds good.

Heal up good now, hear?
Need some help from 'Hater of Plastic' I am trying to talk
I always use four questions on a gun purchase
What are the intended uses?
Will it fulfill the intended use as well or better than anything I already own?
Will I say "I wish I had not purchased it/them" 6 months later?
Do I really . . . REALLY want it?
Question 4 of course trumps all others in most instances!

Purpose is to be multi-functional. It will fill gaps not covered, at least perceived gaps not already covered by current arms. I have sold very few guns over the years, unacceptable accuracy being the prime reason, I have gifted and given friends my cost deals. I only had buyers remorse a couple of times over the years, that only because a'smoking deal came up before I could replenish a depleted gun fund. I am not an impulse buyer, a lot of cogitation is involved in any purchase I make, and If I can't pay cash, I can wait. 10mm long slide Glockamole has been on my want list for a long long while. So short version; Multi, Yes, No, Absolutely. Guess I have to go out for a $700.00 cup of coffee next week.

I don't understand all the questions. The man that taught me to shoot handguns shared some advice with me. He said when temptation knocks. Give in quick! In the long run it saves a lot of time.

Product of depression era farming parents. Just not wired that way.
Lol...that advice has bit me in the butt...

on more than one occasion! But I did buy a G20 not long ago and I am slowly working it into a useful pistol. The factory sights hit about 6" high at 25 yards with various 180 grain factory loads and handloads loaded between 10.2-10.5 grains of Blue Dot and 180 XTP/HAP bullets. I put a spare set of Trijicon night sights on it for this gun with the same results. Put the factory plastic front sight on with a plastic G19 rear (to experiment with sight heights...only temporary) and that seems to have me in the ballpark. I need some time to run a few more rounds through it to verify my sights and if they are good I'll buy a set of Ameriglo Bold sights for a G19 and be good to go. Anyhow, this gun was a giving into temptation and being frustrated with it not being "right" right out of the box, but the guns I cherish the most are the ones I work with until I get them just right.

I can't remember buying a firearm that did not need tweaking to some degree or another. The worst case was my IAI Javelina Bought brand new in the box, it would not cycle more than two rounds without a malfunction. I spent about a month fitting and polishing, finally got it to about 90% reliable. That is when I discovered Lees factory crimp die. The Javelina had a tight chamber and once I ran all my loads through the Lee die as a final step it became 100% reliable. I am not expecting one hole groups but do expect it to do 3" or better at 50 yds. even better if it will do 2" .
yes it is fair price.

I think I would rather have the Ruger SR1911 in 10mm
I really like mine.

I hope they release a long-slide version though.
