It takes a real idiot to think you can use a Glock for hunting.... or someone who is doing some kind of survival thingy.

I dont no where you live but where I am from you are not allowed to use a semi auto pistol for hunting.

I don't know of anything or any where you can legally hunt with a clip that holds more than 6 shot, with the exception of a .22. An A.C.P would not be my choice to hunt with. It is a weapon made for protection not hunting. If you are wanting to hunt, you bought the wrong gun. Should have bought a .44 mag revolver.

not a hunting weapon...worthless for hunting

the 10mm with a 180 gr bullet is the same weight and diameter as the 38-40 but moving 200-300 fps faster. its legal in my state to hunt deer with the 38-40 pistol and i don't see that the 10mm would be any less accurate then a colt with a 4 3/4 bbl.i think it would be fun to hunt hogs with the 10mm,the hi-cap mag may come in handy during a hog hunt

I wanted to see how the 10mm worled on game. I harvested 3 hogs with it back in 1998. it worked flawlessly. one dropped with one hit. one required 2 hits. one took 4 hits. I'd say it works just fine.

the 10mm is better than any other semiauto round for hunting, but even then it is far from ideal See, humans walk upright and hadily expose their vital organs, werease even a small deer because of the position of the front legs and shoulder blades, his internal organs are much deeper inside and much better protected. For harvesting game effectively, you need a deep penetrating bullet. This normally means a bullet that is quite heavy for caliber, and there simply isn't a demand for such a bullet in semiautos, so no manufacturer makes them. The standard 'self defense' load for a 357 magnum uses a 125 grain bullets, whereas a standard hunting load uses 180 grain bullets. For a 10mm to have an equivalent heavy load would require a 220 grain bullet, and they just don't make them. For a 45ACP, that would equate to a 350 grain bullet, again, they just don't make em.

No, do yourself a favor and hunt with a revolver at least a .357 magnum with a 6 inch barrel.

Glock actually renamed their Model 20 10mm 'The Hunter.' This is the full-size 10mm. I hear that many in Alaska retired their .41 Magnums and even .44 Magnum revolvers in favor of the Glock Model 20 for backup hunting sidearms. This makes sense since the 10mm is ballistically similar to the old .41 Magnum but holds 16 plus 1 rounds. The 10mm is an awesome, under-appreciated round. The same lies that were told about the .357 Magnum (in favor of the .38 Special) that were told in the Fifties & Sixties are now told about the 10mm: 1. All you need is a .38; the .357 Magnum hand-cannon will take skin off your hand when you shoot it! 2. The .357 Magnum is so fast it just goes through you without even feeling it so you need a .38 Special! 3. The .357 Magnum will go through the back of a fleeing car, go through the trunk, the back firewall, the backseat, the front seat, through the driver, through the front firewall and still break the engine block!!! This wasn't even hyperbole, it was flat, outright lying. None of the above is true of the .357 Magnum and it was NEVER TRUE. These were tales told by those who were afraid of the .357 Magnum without having ever even tried it. No knowledgeable person today even considers the .38 Special a contender for top notch defensive handgun much less a serious uniform carry sidearm. And today we know that the .357 Magnum is the best manstopper yet. So it is with the 10mm. Self-proclaimed experts repeat lies about it in favor of their pet caliber. If you wish to hunt with a 10mm I suggest you get the full size Model 20 and leave the compact Model 29 for concealed carry and/or home defense. Glock also offers a 6" barrel for the full size Model 20 10mm for about $135 US. This is what I would put on it if I were going to handgun hunt. H For the benefit of Rick J: You can handgun hunt in Texas provided that you use a centerfire caliber. Also, the 10mm is NOT AN ACP; 'acp' is an acronym for "Automatic Colt Pistol;" the 10mm was NOT developed by Colt. H

Wow, I am amazed t some of the opinions on here. Randy C is spot on, as the 10mm makes a great hunting round for those who are responsible hunters and pick their shots. It is best to get some of the heavier hunting type rounds like those made by Cor-Bon or Double Tap. These are 200 gn bullets at 1200fps and 635lbs... The 10mmm exceeds a .357 magnum and is in the range of the .41 magnum! It makes a great short range, (it is a pistol) hog gun and their are quite a few guides in Alaska that carry it for bear protection. One of my favorite stories, a guide shot a bear through the open mouth and severed it's spinal cord with the rounds before the bear could start a charge! It is more than an adequate and there are even 6" hunting barrels you can buy. It will be one of the guns I build... Keep researching the facts and stop listening to the opinions on this site.

If you must use a handgun, stack the odds in yoiur favor, use a minimum of a .41 Mag, preferably a .44 mag.

I don't have a 10 but I've hunted with 38-40 and 41 Mag. I don't see why you couldn't, if you can find the right bullets and get them to feed properly. It's wrong to look at velocity or energy to decide. Yes, it's close, but paper ballistics can be very misleading. Revolvers are always going to have an edge here because of the bullet types they can handle. On the other hand, if you have enough sense to know that all bullets of X grains' weight aren't the same, I think you'll manage.

I have hunted deer with a Glock Model 20, and it worked very well at 60 yards with 180 grain CorBon hunting loads (1300 fps). I would suggest, if you want to use your M29, that you make sure that you can get closer to your animal than I did. Or, you might want to use a Model 20, which I think Glock can even still sell you a 6" barrel for.

Ted Nugent hunts with his 10mm Glocks, and does quite well with both the 20 and the 29. I own a 20 and a 29, and whne I'm hunting I usually have one of them in my pocket as a back up gun. I'd love to see the people who say only a fool would hunt with a Glock tell that to Nugent in person. I like seeing Ted laugh...
