5/1/2023 0 Comments Glock 40 mos![]() ![]() The Hornady 180gr XTP round shot a 2½” group and Hornady 175gr Critical Duty round scored a 2¾” group. That 200gr FMJ Flat Point round shot a 2¼” group, plenty good for any game in the Texas Hill country out to 50 yards, maybe more. Those little paper holes don’t lie.ĪT 25 yards, the most accurate round, for once, was not the Double Tap. I was fighting the gun, and I felt like it was all over the place. If I was to shoot and just guess at the accuracy of the round, I would have said 5”. The 10mm GLOCK still didn’t point naturally. From the kneel, I was shooting regular 3- to 3.5″ groups with anything I fed it. GLOCK haters of the world note the 2” groups at 25 yards I shot with the G40 MOS resting against a makeshift bean bag on a stump. As this was the minimum distance I’d be shooting at, I reluctantly removed the RMR – and was instantly rewarded for doing so. The dot size on the RMR obliterated the 5½-inch target at the 25 yard line. I don’t shoot this well one-handed with my Wilson Combat WC92FS in 9mm.īacking up to 25 yards, the problem I suspected would occur when I zeroed the gun revealed itself in full force. Shooting right handed, one shot per second at 15 yards on a 5 ½” plate? Easy. At 15 yards, right or left handed, this G40 MOS is the best shooting of the higher powered pistols I’ve ever shot. This and a good rest made zeroing the RMR a breeze I got ‘er done in six rounds.īecause the gun felt so good in my hand, I put a few magazines down range one-handed. The raised dots, the material itself and the finger grooves gave me a solid lock on the frame. One-handed, I get a strong grip all the way around the gun. The gun still doesn’t point naturally for me, but man, the G40 MOS’ grip feels good. The only GLOCKs that fit my hands well are the full-frame models, and this one was no different. Lesson learned, again, for the third time: if I choose a 10mm for my perfect truck pistol, I’m reloading my own. My supply included HPR, two different Hornady loads, and some DoubleTap ammo. Cheap 10mm ammo wasn’t to be found, so I shelled out the cash for 200 rounds of the better to very good stuff. In a tragic reversal from my STI Nitro 10 review, I had plenty of magazines and no ammo. One problem: the three magazines supplied were conspicuously empty, and proved to be surprisingly difficult to fill. They didn’t co-witness the RMR’s dot with the stock sights. Unlike the FNX-45 Tactical’s or the S&W CORE series, the G40 MOS’ factory sights weren’t raised. So I added Trijicon’s ever popular RMR, a combination featured in GLOCK’s product literature. Like the FNX-45 Tactical, the G40 MOS (Modular Optic System) model lets owners mount a range of pistol optics on the slide with no more trouble than tightening a few screws. The firearms farrago included a pack of base plates. Opening it revealed a jumbled mass of backstraps, mounts and screws, arranged with all the organization and presentation excellence my three-year-old would muster. long slide powerhouse into the same cheap, bursting-at-the-seams plastic case they use for all their handguns. GLOCK’s website lauds the G40 MOS as “the ultimate choice in semi-automatic gaming pistol.” When RF handed me case I looked at the box and thought, “Well, they sure aren’t wasting money on packaging.” Gaston’s mob stuffs the 28 oz. ![]() I keep trying GLOCKs in the hopes that I may one day find one I can shoot well. I generally find them just okay for the job. As I said in that post, I want to love GLOCKs. I shot its older, littler brother the G20 as my first entry in my truck pistol series – and found it wanting. I finally got my hands on the much heralded GLOCK G40 MOS, the six-inch, optics-ready 10mm juggernaught. The gun for this review was provided by the Kentucky Gun Company. ![]()
