Looking at this matrix: here. You can hover over certain categories, ie Military, Law Enforcement, Personal Defense, Sporting, etc etc, to determine their recommendations for you.
But hunting? I never knew people hunt with them.
But hunting....

This is what I like to call "Glockamole" [face_gun_nerd] 
To the OP: Glocks are as viable as a hunting pistol as any other semi-auto pistol is viable for hunting.

If you google, you'll find some videos and links to people hunting with Glocks. It can be done.
Now, when you say "primarily used for white cops" do you mean "used BY white cops" or do you mean "used by people for the shooting of white cops"?
Interestingly, a lot of the anti-Glock rhetoric in the gun community is from lots of rednecks who dislike the popularity of Glocks "back in the day" in gangsta culture. A great many "1911 die-hards" will tell you that a Glock is a "brotha's gun"... Odd no?

Truth, but that's not why those crusty 1911 douches hate Glocks lol.
In fact, if ease of use and relative effectiveness of function to training required were the primary driving force behind gun sales, there would be no other pistols on the market besides Glocks, and they might not even exist because revolvers are even simpler.

I can see everything except the bear. I am not sure a glock would be do much to an advancing bear. But you may just scare him off if he is not already after you.
*And the why not just use your higher power rifle anyway on any of that. I understand if it is close quarters or it is on you attacking you, but that would be less likely.
So Glock is saying it is a companion piece for a hunter I guess.

right, a backup weapon...not your primary hunting weapon.
out bird hunting and a bear comes around...are you going to shoot it with bird shot?
now out bear hunting, wouldn't you be expecting a bear?
black powder hunting...are you going to reload in time to down charging animal that you nicked or pull out your handgun?

The three most important things when considering take-down power of rifle or handgun loads against any particular live target:
1) the point on the that you aim for
2) the part of the target that your bullet hits
3) the location of the wound your bullet makes
LOL and regarding the use of 45 acp for bear, I googled it to see what people had to say and found this:
1911_Knucklehead posted:
Thread Title: Hot .45acp load for black bear and hunting.
I am thinking of going 10mm for hunting but I don't want a Glock and a colt delta is too much. If I can find a load to shoot out of my 1911 I will use it.
I want a 230 - 250 gr fmj ball ammo round to do at least 950 fps but I would prefer something in the 1000 to 1100 feet per second range. Can this be done safely and can this just be done. What loads have you found?

You're right, Reg; it would appear to be marketed as a camp gun. A pistol might not be ideal for ursicide, but also bear in mind that most states limit the capacity of high powered semi-automatic rifle magazines to a maximum of 5 rounds.

I carry my Glock when hunting, fishing, and camping. Never know what you are gonna run across. I would never count on .40 cal to kill a bear but if I had no choice I wouldn't hesitate to put 13 rounds into one.

I am thinking about getting the 23 which is why I was there today. The subcompact looks way to small for my hand, and the 23 has enough rounds and appears more concealable than the full size. But I will rent some at the range before making my purchase.

Now if only the border patrol would adopt that policy......maybe we could keep them damn dirty Canadians out of here.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.

I am thinking about getting the 23 which is why I was there today. The subcompact looks way to small for my hand, and the 23 has enough rounds and appears more concealable than the full size. But I will rent some at the range before making my purchase.
I also carry a 23 or a 21, depending on my mood and the clothes I feel like wearing. I carry them both in a Desantis Stealth IWB holster with a spare mag at about 7 or 8 o'clock (I'm a lefty). If you have average to large sized hands, the 21 will fit you better than the 23. Check it out when you check out the 23. Pretty sure I'm going to get a Supertuck deluxe for my 21 though and see if I can get away with lighter clothing with that holster.
Here are quotes from my friends who've fired my Glock 21:
"Wow, that [the glock 21] feels even nicer than my Sig."
"Actually, see for yourself, but that's [the glock 21] much more comfortable than my 1911."
In truth, the 23 bucks a bit more than the 21 - the added weight and heavier spring really makes a difference. You can also carry 13 + 1 of 45 ACP in a 21. I'm probably looking to sell my 23 to get a 4th generation 23 or maybe a 37 (45 GAP) because the grip size on the 23 is just a little small for my liking and the 4th generations feature those adjustable grip sizes...
Oh and for the record, I carry a pistol with me when I am hunting as well - whether with my shotgun or my rifle. Pistols are good for dispatching rabid wild dogs that you see sometimes running down deer, they're good for putting an injured animal down quickly with a head shot that will be much less likely to ricochet off of rocks in the ground dangerously, and they're useful of course for self defense if your rifle/shotgun is empty and you've got a charging animal or charging drunk a-hole to deal with.

Good stuff Cawlin! Thanks for the feedback. I am definitely going to get a gen 4, and I was leaning towards a .40 cal since I have plenty of 9s. But I will test fire the .45 too.
