Description
The Grand Power P40 is a full-size DA/SA semi-automatic pistol chambered in 10mm Auto, built on Grand Power's Mk12-generation polymer frame with a reinforced steel dismantling catch. The P40 features Grand Power's signature rotary locking barrel system — a 4.25-inch stainless rotating barrel that distributes recoil forces more evenly than a traditional tilting-barrel design, which is especially beneficial in managing the potent 10mm Auto cartridge. The blued Tenifer QPQ slide with a rounded profile provides excellent corrosion resistance and smooth holster draw. With a 14-round magazine capacity and ambidextrous controls, the P40 delivers serious 10mm firepower in a well-balanced, ergonomic platform suited for hunting, woods defense, and range shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of the rotary locking barrel in 10mm?The rotary locking barrel distributes recoil forces more evenly than a traditional Browning tilting-barrel design. In a powerful cartridge like 10mm Auto, this results in noticeably reduced felt recoil, faster follow-up shots, and improved accuracy.
What is the difference between the P40 and P40L?The P40L is the long-slide variant with an extended barrel for increased sight radius, muzzle velocity, and accuracy. Both share the same 14-round magazine and rotary locking barrel system.
Are P40 and P40L magazines interchangeable?Yes. Both models use the same Grand Power 14-round 10mm Auto magazine.
Is the P40 suitable for hunting?Yes. The 10mm Auto cartridge is well-suited for medium game hunting and woods defense. The P40's rotary barrel system helps manage recoil for more accurate shot placement in the field. For even better ballistic performance, consider the P40L with its longer barrel.

Fantastic
I haven't shot this weapon yet but I have shot my X- Calibur and the action is great. Global Ordnance is an excellent company to do business with.

Supremely under-rated pistol.
I’ve had my eye on Grand Power as a company for a long time but have up until now not purchased any of their firearms. So far, I do not regret this purchase in the slightest! I will update this review should my opinion change with use. I wanted a 10mm pistol, but none checked all of my boxes except this one. Comfortable grip, light for its size, controllable recoil, excellent ergonomics, high capacity, reliable (thus far), powerful, and elegant design. Price wasn’t that big of a concern for me, but this pistol feels a lot more expensive than its price suggests. I will say the magazines are ridiculously hard to load 14 rounds in out of the box. This may become my new favorite carry pistol.

P40 10mm auto
I own this pistol and 2 other Grand Power pistols, and I really enjoy shooting this one. The rotating barrel softens recoil, even with full-house original spec loads at 1300 fps and above. The precision of manufacture, fit and finish and functionality of this pistol is top drawer. A shooters gun, designed by a soldier for full ambidextrous use. The grip fits my hand so well that i chose a nearly identical grip/backstrap (from the 4 included) for my K100 X-Trim and it feels nearly iderntical in my hand. The 10mm Auto is a formidable cartridge, but the design of the P40 really tames it into a manageable round. If you want some serious, long-range thump in a handgun, you will do no better than the P40 at any price. Bravo, Grand Power.
