open to other suggestions besides glock?
Go check the ballistics of the hard cast 200gr 10mm loads out of a 4" vs 6" barrel. Then you can decide if the performance improvement is worth the extra cost/weight/size of the G40 to you.
OP
Yes I would be open to suggestions
OP
This would be for hunting mainly but woods carry if I have to use it.

Price, it's all about the price
Rifle. And if it has to be a handgun get a real one in a hard hitting caliber that can push at least 250 g lead. Wheelguns in 44 mag, 45 Colt come to mind. "Glocks arfa gangstas an shootin sidewise."

Are you hunting with dogs?
This. Also the G40 would offer an increased sight radius which would be helpful. Of course, if you’re running a dot that wouldn’t matter.
I am a self admitted 10mm fan boy. I have or have owned just about all different flavors of semi auto 10mm guns. I currently own the 3 different glock sizes, a sig, and a m&p. If I had to pick just one it would be a G20 with a 6” after market barrel. With that said 95% of the time I carry a G40 with a red dot and a light for woods/hunting/hunting side arm.
Do you reload Or what do you plan to do about ammo?

For bear hunting, I’d grab a 6”-8” 44mag or 454 Casull. The G20-40 could be used as a backup IF you can stack full house 10mm rounds. If not consider a 3”
44 mag+ on your hip.

No I will be doing still hunting
OP
I plan on buying 10mm ammo
We have had a lot of Bear Hunters prefer the P320XTEN for a defensive pistol for bear!
Good lord do not fall out of that tree stand!
that didn't take long!
My vote is for the G20, 200gr hard cast underwood ammo (if you don’t reload) in a chest rig…all day comfort. G40 is nice (had one and carried the 20 more often) and now the gen 5 G20 is red dot ready if that’s your preference.
Me personally I would carry (because I have a choice) my Ruger 7 1/2 in 480 and my Alaskan in 480 as back up….

I have two 10mm . I have a Glock g40 gen 4 mos and a S&W 4inch.
I hunt with the Glock but haven't had any luck on getting one in close enough. I use the S&W when hiking in the woods ,and made a deer tracking bag with it as my backup. Both have pros and cons. I have small hands and the S&W fits my hands better. Neither one has given me any problems. Look on YouTube there is plenty of hunting video's with 10mm.

Check out the S&W M&P 2.0 performance center 10mm.
The factory porting does it's job in shooting it.
I'm a 10 fan boy as well and currently own 3 and at one time or another have owned about all the current 10mm's.
