I picked up a Serpa for my G41. Like it, holds the gun very well and no problems with the sights.

 

We received one of those in our shop the other day. It's a monster! Next day someone scooped it up. Can't wait until he comes back and we can get it down on the range! Dang I want to shoot it!

 

I've talked to Comp Tac and Blade Tech and neither one is making one for the G40 yet OR fessing up to which (if any) existing holsters will fit.

I have 1 from each company and the Comp Tac will hold a 34 and 22 - the Blade tech is for a 41. Gotta look at the real dims - maybe I don't have a problem. Both holsters are open nosed. .

You must have given Comp Tac an idea. I just received my Glock 40 holster from Comp Tac, and it fits great! I wanted it because it fully encloses the gun.

I also got a Bladetech holster for the Glock 20. It's open-ended, but I had to dremel it some to get my Glock 40 to fit. The open end wasn't quit large enough.

 

It would have to be for a 20 or 21 and open ended

 

Hmmm - why wouldn't the open ended Blade Tech for the 41 work?

 

The width of the slide on the G41 45ACP is 1.003" but the G40 10mm slide is 1.126" (± 0.002" for both). The G40 has the same slide width as the G20/21/29/30. Besides the 1/8" difference in slide width, holster makers must provide enough clearance at the top of the holster for a RDS mounted on the G40 MOS and in the sight channel for suppressor height BUIS.

 

I like Kydex and am willing to make safe adjustments to accommodate the sight.
I had not put the slide measurements together yet. Thanks for that.
Maybe I'll be making my own, until the industry catches up at least. Supplies ARE available locally...

 

The Serpa will work, as mentioned. I'd bet on a year before holster makers catch up to new stuff

 

Were you referring to Serpas in your post #5 or are you talking about GPutt33's comment and a G41??

Serpa's ARE on a lot of store shelves and I can test before I buy. I'm okay with passive retention but the cost of a Serpa to get the gun on my hip as aa starting point is not bad.

I have one that I bought for a G22 a good long while ago...

 

Blackhawk says they have absolutely no plans for new Glock model holsters

 

Most of my Glock 17 holster work with my Glock 41, other than the barrel being longer on the 41. I have a 511 Blade tech for my Glock 26 which fits my 17 and if I open it up a little fits my 41. So I would say if you have a Glock 17 size holster give it a try it will probably work.

 

I hope that my Bianchi 4/4L holster works for a G22 as well as it works for my G17.

 

The Guides Choice will be an awesome woods/hunting rig for the G40. At the time of announcement, Glock made an agreement with DiamondD about building the first holster for it, and apparently they sent a plastic form. However, once the guns actually came out, Glock decided to go with full width slides like on the 20/21, so that meant a new holster design. They told me that Glock should be sending an actual gun within the next month. At that point, they are going to modify it with suppressor height sights, and also account for any optic used in the MOS system.

What I'm wondering is- The guns at SHOT show were built very early this year, and probably have the same narrowed frame like the 41. But those were all no doubt just show samples, and Glock got those back, before redesigning it. That does explain the extra wait time though. It wasn't just the fault of the G42 and 43 coming out.

I ordered my Guides choice when the shot show was still happening to get a jump on the holster. Good thing they did not start making them until they actually get the released gun.

I still have not got either one.

 

The sales manager said once they get the actual gun and modify it, they will start filling orders on the list. It didn't sound like they had a huge backorder list at that time, but that will probably change very soon

 

I got my G40 the other day. I really like how it shoots. AAAConcealment Holster.

 

Got to look into AAA.
Seeing lots of reports (supported by measurements) that a Comp Tac or Blade Tech G 20 or 41 holster fit the G40 just fine.

Yes!?0

 

I just picked up my 40 this past weekend. While in the store we tried it in a G20 holster with open bottom, and the gun fit perfectly, just extending out the opening. The one we tested was this one: http://www.glockstore.com/holsters-by-style/belt-slot-holsters/mini-slide-holster

 

I have a new Kydex holster for the G40 MOS for sale. I added suppressor sights and now it doesn't fit. If anyone is interested, they can contact me. If you have suppressor sights, it won't fit. If not, you'd be good to go.

 

That G40 is quite a large pistol.

 

Indeed. 10mm long slide.

 

Agreed, and a lot of fun to shoot. Very powerful round and extremely accurate with that long slide and barrel just over 6" in length.

 

How is the recoil?

 

Well of course, that depends on the ammo. Overall, it's great, but First, let me say that I added a tungston steel guide rod assembly and upgraded the spring weight from the factory 17# to a 22# spring. This gun made for hunting and so I use Buffalo Bore/Barnes TAC-XP 155gr which is a hot load so you get a bit more bark with the shot. Shooting regular 10mm FMJ plinking ammo, however, you hardly feel it.

 

I carry Buffalo Bore 9mm +p+ 115gr JHP ammo in my G17 here in VT.

 

Holy smokes that is a heavy load. Why so much?

 

Attacking felons need it.

 

Ah! Yes they do.

 

Well you must have changed out the rsa in that 17 to accommodate p+p

 

I have never thought to change my RSA for the few rounds of +p+ 9mm ammo.

 

Your shots would be more accurate so might be worth the small investment.

How would a RSA make shots more accurate when the RSA is operating after the bullet has left the barrel?

 

Good question. I should have said that your following shots would be more accurate because the heavier spring weight equals less recoil/muzzle flip and faster target reacquisition.

 

Oh, I get it now. I'll go to the Glockstore web site.

 

Excellent idea. In addition to less recoil, muzzle flip, and a faster reacquisition of your target, the lighter loads will shoot fine with a heavy guide rod and spring, but your factory guide rod is plastic and cannot stand up to a p+p load. A guide rod breaking in the middle of a gunfight would be very bad indeed.

 

True, and I don't have a back-up gun out on the street.
