It's a different platform to say the least. I will not say it is not a good one as if you take the time to investigate it, the Glock site has a "cult" following for hunting. It's not a wheel gun or a single shot, it is a Glock. However, you cannot argue the point that in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing it is very good in 10mm. Additionally, you can now get a 460 Rowland Conversion for it. Many use them for deer and hogs with 6 inch barrels. No, it does not have a lot of choices as far as bullet weight goes, but many good names provide excellent ammo for it including Double Tap, and Buffalo Bore. It does have one advantage, fast followup shots. I think it is a good choice for someone interested in it and willing to practice to learn their capabilities. If it gets others handgun hunting, isn't that the point.
