For 25 years I packed a revolver of some kind when fishing or just walking the trails my county has to offer. Recently my mindset shifted to more capacity on hand is a good thing. So I sent my Glock 40 (10mm) off to Barsto Precision for the following: drop in barrel, Novak nite sites, barsto guide rod, 24lb spring, trigger job /ghost rocket. Honestly I had no idea what a ghost rocket was until I looked it up.
I wanted a high cap that could reliably shoot Buffalo Bore 220 grain hard cast outdoorsman load. Out of a six inch barrel should achieve lower end 41 magnum ballistics. I almost bought a les Baer 1911 6 inch 10mm for $3200 but for how beautiful and great that gun is, my Glock will get it done if I do my part.
Even before the modifications the Glock functioned flawlessly. I was told for the heaviest loads upgrades are needed for the longevity of the gun. The BB loads are easy to shoot, folks say the 10mm recoils a lot, I never thought so. 15+1 with Glock reliability and Barsto enhancements makes for a grade A trail companion.

But if a gun frame fits your hand well, allowing proper grip and trigger control, the difference between 9x19, 40, 45, and 10MM is pretty mild in the big picture. of course, the opposite is true too, which is why I never met a .380 I like. At least I think that's why
