About the Gun

The G40 was produced exclusively in the Gen4 MOS configuration. Glock designed it as a long-slide 10mm Auto model with a 6-inch barrel specifically for improved velocity in hunting and outdoor applications, and it was launched alongside the MOS system rollout. It features a factory-milled slide that accepts miniature reflex sights through interchangeable adapter plates, a polymer frame with interchangeable backstraps for grip customization, an enlarged reversible magazine release, a dual-recoil-spring assembly, and rough-textured frame surfaces.

Analysis

This variant combined the Gen4 ergonomic and recoil-management updates with a long-slide format chambered in 10 mm Auto, intended primarily for hunting, backcountry carry, or applications requiring higher muzzle velocity from the cartridge. The extended barrel increased projectile speed compared with shorter 10 mm models while the MOS interface allowed direct mounting of optics without aftermarket modifications. The model saw use among handgun hunters and users prioritizing the cartridge's ballistic performance in an extended platform. Production volumes were relatively low, and examples have reached the secondary market mainly through individual owners.
