10mm opinions?

LenBob · 07-29-2012, 11:45 AM

I'm seeing this caliber option in soooo many pistols but have never shot one. What's your opinion?

Google "10mm Firearms" it will bring you to Wikipedia which is pretty interesting.

Some think the 10mm days are numbered. I sure hope not. S&W dropped the 10mm in the 90s.

I really like 10mm, it's lightning and thunder.

It will never truly go away, but it's already a favorite of a lot of hunter's/shooters/handloader's. I like it because you can load it using 40sw dies/shell holder/bullet. It's a flexible caliber. You can duplicate factory 40sw loads for plinking, or push for performance.

i've never shot one but i want to. A friend of mine carries a glock 29 as his carry weapon of choice, that or a glock 36.

It's probably my favorite pistol round, but it's not my first choice for carry.

That's good information I hadn't considered; thanks.

I shot the Glock version of it and wasnt all that impressed. Recoil was worse than I expected and my friend who owned it admitted to me that the commercial ammo that is available is not really that great, but that the gun shines with handloads. Well, thats a pain for me, I want my gun to be a performer with off the shelf ammo if need be, and heck 10mm ammo is not as readily available as .40SW or .45 either.

It wont ever go away, but I dont expect to see very many new guns made in it either.

i really like the round after picking up a G20sf and actually reading up on it a bit. going to try and order some underwood and buffalo bore ammo for it. for a semi auto pistol i think it can be a good stout round. would love to use it as a hunting pistol.

Dan Wesson has re-released its RZ-10. It's a full-size 1911 and man, does it look nice.

Good hunting.

One of my favorite carries. This Delta was done over by Chuck Warner.

Hope this is not too off topic, but I have started picking up brass at H&H and Canadian Valley and have yet to pick up a 10mm case. Am i missing something? Is the 40SW the same case?

Edit: I did the research on Wikipedia and the 10mm is longer than the 40SW. Still wonder why I'm not picking up at least a few cases though.

The Colt Delta Elite in 10mm is an awesome shooter.
