AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

Disciple, just be aware that some 40 cal Glocks that are reliable with weapon mounted lights develop into being unreliable with weapon mounted lights.
I have had good and bad experiences with multiple 40 cal Glocks and WMLs over the years. I don't want to go into it. But the information I mentioned above is something you should be aware of.

Are there lights to avoid, or ones that are known to work better?
Joe Mamma, I understand that you "don't want to go into it" but is there anything in particular I should watch for?
It seems like the Streamlight TLR lights have the most problems. However, that may simply be because there may be more of them being used than other brands/models, or their users are just more vocal.
Just keep in mind that there are probably 2 issues with using WMLs in Glock 40 cal guns: additional weight, and increased frame stiffness in that area (due to how various lights attach). If I were picking a new light, I would consider both of these issues.
Just so we are on the same page, the general consensus with this problem is that the slide speed under recoil is too fast for the next round being pushed up in the magazine. So you can go with commercial rounds that have a relatively heavy bullet (like the 180 gr that ST911 mentioned above), which usually results in slower slide speed, or a stiffer magazine spring, or a stiffer recoil spring. However, these don't always solve it.
Other things to consider are ammo type (rough steel cases, brass cases, or slick nickel plated cases) and how dirty the insides of your magazines are. This can contribute to increased friction and slow down the feeding of the next fresh round when shooting.
I hope this is helpful.
