'blocky glocky'? This has yours beat!
Iberia Firearms in 40 (pre-HiPoint)

 

short and weak

 

The good ol blocky Glocky was my first personal handgun purchase back in the 90’s from Greentop in Virginia. Still have it. my Model 23 is a second Gen .40
ive added some Trijicon night sights , new slide release, and lighter trigger along the way.
i remember when I went to buy it, there was a ”high capacity” mag ban at the time I guess. I wasn’t even aware. They had two guns in stock. One with an 8 pound trigger pull .. 13 round mags. The other had a 5 pound trigger pull but the 10 round limit mags. i was dumber than a stump about guns back then and luckily the sales guy advised me correctly. Said you can easily change out the trigger assembly, but thats the last of the 13 round mags. the laws changed again of course, but I always appreciated that they looked out for me.
.40 popularity has waned, but I really like the size to power ratio … many rounds into all kinds of target objects And I think it will do the trick.

 

Technically this is .4005" plus I can load it down to .40 specs if I ever decide the FBI was right about it being too much.

 

I also have this Ruger Blackhawk 10mm/.40 convertible...

 

My basement protector.

 

My two .40 calibers...

Colt Z40...

S&W 4046...the only reason I have this is a reminder more or less of when I was issued one of these my last few years in federal law enforcement. The only difference between this and the one I was issued is this doesn't not have tritium sights though I could add them if I was so inclined. I definitely preferred the Model 64 revolver over this boat anchor.

One of my .40’s…old school

The rimless, straight walled parent case of the .40 S&W is the 10mm ( 10x25mm ), which was selected by the FBI in 1989 following their quest for a more powerful cartridge after the infamous 1986 FBI Miami Shootout.

Below are my two favorite platforms for that powerful cartridge, as manufactured by Rock Island Armory

Here's a couple of old school 40's but not too old.

Colt and USFA 38-40's.

New style 40's:

Browning Hi-Power

S&W M&P40 Pro Series

 

I love the .40 S&W! I worked a lot of police shootings with it, and it performed well in all of them.

Here’s one you don’t see everyday:

S&W Model 646.

The perfect gun for a revolver fan who gets .40 ammo at work.

L-frame, titanium cylinder, frame mounted firing pin but no lock, round butt.

 

1999 Defender

 

Most of my .40's are .38-40's. First was this Ruger Buckeye Blackhawk.

Then this Uberti 1873 Deluxe Sporting Rifle.

Then this Colt 3rd generation, tuned and stocked by Tom Sargis.

Then this GP100 10mm.

And this New Service a couple years ago.

 

RIA .40

 

 

40 Cal Shield...

40 Cal Glock Model 23 Gen 5

Sig Sauer P229 40 Cal

Smith & Wesson MP 40 cal.

Walther P-99 40 Cal

These are my collection of 40's; all shoot very well and are well made guns by different manufacturer's, albeit the manufacture's are valued gun makers.

 

My Son and I both have M&P 40's. Both LE trade-ins. Great pistols. I run mine with the .357 Sig barrel.

 

"Here’s one you don’t see everyday:"

But you can see one twice today.

My 646, with a 2006 .38-40 SAA "blackpowder" frame.

 

My 40 calibers are all 10mm handguns.
