Some States require a barrel length over 6" for pistol hunting. That is why Glock sold 6" factory barrels 30 years ago for their G20 guns; long before they ever produced the Glock 40 with a 6" slide. Longer slides will give you a longer "iron" sight radius and smaller groups. If you have a red dot sight attached to your slide, the 6" probably won't be much better than the 4.5" barrel.

I know this is an old thread, but I just found it. Of all the wildcat bottleneck pistol cartridges, this one interests me the most. The weak link in my two favorite bottlenecks, the 357 SIG and the 400 CorBon, is the short necks. Also had a 9X25 Dillon barrel and Dillon dies several years ago. Sold my barrel to McNett, and the dies to a Glock Talk forum member. It was fun to play with, but had limited practicality. As a lover of cast bullets, this long neck cartridge fascinates me and I wonder if the OP has done any more load development with it.

I haven't had the time. I wish I did. When I do more testing I will post the results.

I just realized I hadn't shot this round since 2017 (3 years).

I sent in my ballot already. Trumps name wasnt checked. I wrote in a dead guy. I figured if dead guys could vote, then a dead guy could be elected.

Gen2, gen3, and gen4 barrels are compatible with each other. Gen5 barrels may be different. I do not think they make a Gen 5 10mm.

The G20 and g40 barrel will work in a g21. It won't be as good as a G20, but it won't be bad. You probably won't notice a difference. You might need to change the extractor. You shout try with the stock g21 extractor first. I do not recommend this setup for self defense.

....

Are there actual .41 special guns?

No factory guns, but there are a few custom guns. The ones I have seen are Ruger Single Action revolvers.

Resize 41 magnum bullets. They are usually 195 to 210 grain, not 180.

Use Trail Boss for Cowboy loads.

I tried the Alph Wolf barrel again and it worked just as good as a stock Glock 40 6" 10mm barrel.

This time I had a steady bench rest (a tree stump).

Both are still not as good as I would like, but I only tried them with SIG factory ball 10mm ammo.

I will eventually try them both again with some handloads. Check back in 2 to 3 years for an update

I have seen it on some of my brass. The (Hornady) resizing die does it. I think it is from over pressure.



.

My old POS CAR15-A1 shoots Wolf steel case 223 like it's match ammo.

My Beretta Pistol likes aluminum case Federal ammo.


.

Heavy or thick plated bullets from Berrys or Xtreme work good.

The two compact Glocks threw me.  If you seach Glock's website for 10mm guns, though, sure enough.  Glock 29 Gen3 SF and Glock 29 Gen 4.  Talk about splitting hairs.

And I also take issue with the idea that a 10mm can be loaded to 41 mag levels.  Yes, it can match the downloaded 41 mag silvertips meant for personal defense.  But, those are downloaded.  It has always been funny to me that 10mm hardcore kool-aid drinkers cry foul when 40 S&W is compared to watered down 10mm ammo, then compare the 10mm to watered down 41 mag ammo.  The 41 mag is going to best the 10mm by about 100 fps for comparable bullet weights and comparable barrel lengths.

But, the article makes some solid points too.  The 10mm is one of the best all around pistol cartridge out there.  It covers bases from deep cover to hunting big game, with plenty of magazine capacity.

The Gen 3 guns are still, being made for California. WE cannot have the newer Gen 4 or 5 guns.

Berry's bullets has 40cal 10mm 180 grain thick plate bullets on closeout for $99 for 1000.
