Its my Dad who is getting the 10mm. I personally wouldnt/dont need a 10mm, but its his money so hey howdy-do. And i told him we should just invest in 1911A1s, but he wouldnt have it. (of course ugh). If it were up to me, I'd get a 1911 because i miss mine like freakin crazy. And i dont mind critism at all.

If your Dad is really set on 10mm that's fine, but you should just remind him that Glocks in that caliber are likely to have a great deal more recoil than a metal-framed pistol such as the S&W 1006 or 1076. He might change his mind, on either the gun or the caliber.

Also, I sure as hell hope for his sake that he's thinking about the G20 and NOT the G29?

BTW, interesting fact...I noticed that on Glock's web site, the G20 is actually marketed towards hunters nowadays (they specifically say that it "allows a safe and accurate finishing shot even when hunting big game"). But in the 1990 Gun Digest issue, there's an advertisement for it and the G21 (which were both brand-new at the time), and it's marketed as a law enforcement/self-defense gun. Just goes to show you how times have changed...

I've fired just about every caliber of Glock there is, and the 10mm is a fine shooter. I'm betting you will love it.

The recoil is not that bad at all, but like any gun the recoil is about the bullet you're firing as much as the weight of the gun.

You can always get it ported, or slap a nice heavy flashlight on the front of her to help with muzzle jump if you have issues with it.

Just a few of the many videos on you tube showing what kind of recoil you'll face. It's nothing to worry about IMHO.
