  • By Lee Martin Arlington, Virginia
    By Lee Martin Arlington, Virginia Over a century has passed since Colt chambered their 1873 in .38- 40, and there’s still demand for forty caliber handguns. Predominantly, these firearms include autoloaders that are chambered in either .40 S&W, .400 Corbon, or the nearly defunct 10mm Auto. Revolvers have also seen their fair share of .40 calibers, but most never achieved commercial success. A lot of this is attributable to the .41 Remington Magnum, which is an outstanding middle-bore cartridge. The .38-40 is still chambered in single-actions however, to include Colt and a few Italian Peacekeeper clones. Even Ruger produced limited runs of .38- 40/10mm convertibles for both Buckeye Sporting Goods in the late 1980s and more recently a Vaquero version for Davidson’s (the second cylinder for the latter was in .40 S&W). Other than these examples, the .40 revolver never caught on with the masses. Modern .40 caliber revolver rounds evolved in the 1920’s when Pop Eimer developed his .401 wildcat. Essentially, the .401 Eimer was a Winchester Self-Load case that was trimmed back to 1.21” and shot in altered Colt single- actions. Its performance was impressive with 200 grain bullets topping out around 1,200 fps when placed over 2400 powder. Gordon Boser further developed the round in the 1940’s and in time a few Colt double-actions were converted to .401. It’s hard to speculate on how many handguns were ever chambered in the Eimer and Boser variants. I have seen numerous pictures of Colt double and single-actions that had been reworked to this wildcat; I’m also aware of a few Great Westerns from the 1950’s that were gunsmithed to shoot the round.

The removable MOS cover plate is optional for mounting compact red-dot optics. That design also means the body of the optical sight is that much closer to the shooter’s actual line of sight. There‘s no need for high, suppressor-type back-up sights, and the standard GLOCK sights are visible through the lens of whatever compact red-dot you choose to mount. The G43X MOS and G48 MOS Slimline models also gain GLOCK’s mounting rail system. A light attached to the rail of a G43X MOS or G48 MOS is closely aligned with the firearm’s bore, and its positioning in front of the trigger guard allows the operator to maintain a two-handed grip, making this design highly functional.
