What I do love about the glocks is how much you can customize them for pretty cheap. I may have some more things coming in for it... with a lot more things planned for it.

Got the night sights, gun light and a back plate. I have a Pyramid trigger, tungsten guide rod, and an extended slide release in the mail.

Next up on the list is a new barrel, custom slide cuts, new firing pin, custom stippling, may have the hand grip shaved down to fit my small woman hands, and then a hydro-graphic or cerakote re-finish

My ccw will be a 9mm because ballistics aren't that different when you're shooting hollow points. Hardball is another story. Plus 9mm is cheaper.

At realistic engagement ranges, the terminal ballistics of .45 vs 9mm are nearly identical. Dime on entry, nickel when exiting. The only major difference is the kick, and the smaller caliber wins. With that being said, FN 5-7 is an absolute badass piece to handle, triple taps from 10-12 yds with minimum recovery. On the subject of hardballs - why would any civilian even carry these for self defense, they overpenetrate. And 10mm... I guess people just think that the bigger the better, and don't really know the story behind the caliber.

@Qulevrius http://www.gunsandammo.com/ammo/handgun-ammo/a-history-of-the-10mm-auto/
Basic: FBI 9mm didn't do anything against bad guys wearing bullet resistant gear. 10mm would have penetrated said gear. FBI says "oh my feeble hands cannot withstand 10mm recoil" 10mm died.

Lighter 10mm load roughly=40 S&W.
Average-> high 10mm load roughly(tends to be a bit higher than) a 357 mag
Average federal ammo, 180 grain 425(about) ft-lb(muzzle energy) and 1030 ft/sec

Ballistic gel will tell the whole story IMO

And the it was deloaded and cut down and that's where .40S&W comes from

Exactly. And the reason it was deloaded is because the recoil was too much. So they cut it from 25 down to 22, but it's still kicking like a mule. I understand the appeal of coming to the range, whipping out the piece and go 'BOOM' instead of 'bang', but in any realistic defensive scenario - unless there's been some serious training involved - a semi-experienced shooter will struggle with shot placement. Not to mention the cost of ammo.

Not a fan of the 40. It's to "snappy" and hard to make quick follow up shots. 9mm the recoil is almost none and you can make quick follow up shots. Same with my 45, the recoil is predictable and with good hand placement you can make quick follow up shots. Never shot a 10mm so I can't give my opinion. This is all subjective of course because not every 45 is a Sig P220 and every 40 a S&W M&P and every 9mm a glock.

.40 is 10mm. Same as .45 is 11.43mm.

It really isn't that bad if you have any experience shooting a different caliber other then 22 or 9mm. my 10mm ammo doesn't cost much more then .45 auto either think im at 39 cents? or something around there. Then again I have also been shooting a long time, and have shot many many different calibers. I am personally a huge fan of 10mm.

Well the lower build is finally finished. What my build currently is I'll post right here:

Hogan stripper lower receiver
LWRC lower parts kit
Magpul MOE grip
Magpul MOE buttstock
Magpul polymer trigger guard
Magpul P mag 10 round
LWRC buffer tube
JP enterprise silent capture spring gen. 2

I have plans for either a DDM4V11 upper or a BCM upper. From there I have a whole list of things I'm going to add, but for now I'm excited that I can "borrow" a buddies AR15 upper and shoot my rifle.

I've got a DDM4V11. Love that thing.

You should also look into getting a grown-up mag...

Your build reminds me I need to restring my bow. Just don't wanna drop the cash to do it right now.
