How to Reload a 40 S&W Glock

Glock features four models of handguns chambered to use .40 S&W ammunition. The G22 is a full-size model with a magazine capacity of 15 rounds; the G23 is the slightly smaller compact model with a capacity of 13; the G27 is a subcompact that's designed for conceal ability with a capacity of 10 rounds; and the G35 is a competition model, a full size pistol with an extended barrel. The technique for reloading all of these pistols is exactly the same. When your Glock pistol fires its last round, the slide will automatically lock into the rear position.
