Grand Power P40 10mm SPONSORED
Rob PincusEven though .40 caliber and 10mm are the same diameter, the 10mm cartridge is far more powerful, and it’s making a big comeback here in the U.S. Grand Power has responded to that by offering their P40 in 10mm.
The Grand Power P40 10mm is a 14+1 round handgun with rotating barrel and exposed hammer. It’s a double-action gun with an ambidextrous decocker and ambidextrous magazine release. It has a great trigger, is very shootable due to its ergonomics, and extremely reliable.
Grand Power is a Slovakian company. Rob Pincus has been to their factory and seen how they combine modern technology and manufacturing processes with old-world craftsmanship. Each P40 is assembled by one person, not on an assembly line, for maximum quality and reliability. No MIM parts are used.
Rob believes the best application for the P40 10mm may be back-country carry for protection against large four-legged predators, though some people also choose it for home defense.
By now you're probably familiar with the general outline of the Grand Power guns. And this is the Grand Power P40. It's a P40 however, in 10mm. Now, of course, .40 caliber, 10 mm are the same diameter, but the 10 mm cartridge is far more powerful, and it's making a big comeback here in the US. Grand Power is responding to that comeback by offering us the P40 in the 10mm.
Now this is a 14 plus one round gun. It's got the typical rotating barrel. It's got an exposed hammer. It's a double-action gun, that with a de-cocker that is ambidextrous. Also has an ambidextrous magazine release.
And like all the Grand Power guns, not only does it have a great trigger, and it's incredibly shootable because of the ergonomics of the gun, but it is a reliability beast. Now, I've been to the factory where they build these guns, and I've seen how they combine modern technology and modern manufacturing processes with what I always refer to as old-world craftsmanship. Each one of these guns is put together by one guy, they're not assembled on an assembly line basis where one person does this, one person does that, one person does the other thing. The frames are brought in from their mold to their specifications. All the steel and metal parts are built in the factory, they don't use any MiM parts, and then one person assembles each gun, so that you can be assured you're gonna get that quality, and reliability and durability that you expect from Grand Power.
If you aren't familiar with the way the rotating barrel system works, it changes the recoil impulse, and it does a lot to tame the very powerful 10mm Auto cartridge. This gun is gonna be a smooth shooting gun. It's probably gonna feel a lot more comfortable than you would expect from a 10mm. And it's definitely something you should think about adding to your collection, especially if you're a 10mm fan like I am, I love it as a hunting round, I love it as a collection round. Now, it's a little bit powerful for home defense, but some people do choose to use it.
Some people even carry this kind of a gun when they're out in the back country, maybe you're out hunting bear or moose, or something like that. You're worried about those bears, you're worried about some big cats. 10mm Auto is gonna be a great option to carry in those environments for sure. And 14 plus one rounds is probably gonna get ya through any problem you're gonna have out there in that back country. The Grand Power P40 10mm, really cool gun, made in Slovakia, brought into the US, and another addition to that ever-growing, and consistently popular 10mm Auto gun crowd.
Great video, covered a lot of good points, one issue I had was that he mentioned how awesome and unique the rotating barrel is, grabbed the slide like he was going to demonstrate how awesome it is, then abruptly changed the subject, lol Otherwise, it is a pistol I will look into. Thank you!
I’ve owned the P40 10mm for two years and this is my primary CCW. I carry it at 4 o’clock in in an alien holster that I had s custom shell made for it. I love it. Traded my Glock 20 for it and never looked back. Double/Single action is my preferred pistol type. It’s big and heavy but shoots like a 45 with that rotating barrel.
The Grandpower 10mm is one of the easiest weapons to shoot. The recoil is more of a push than a flip, so it is easier to accurately acquire the target after each shot. I find that for my hand it fits well and it is a balanced handgun. The only issue that I have found is that it does not like non brass ammo, as occasionally a casing will not eject with steel cased rounds. A very nice large caliber weapon for women due to the revolving barrel.
