[QUOTE="davek, post: 1293474, member: 519"] 10mm is an extraordinarily flexible cartridge. Most factory loads are at or just above the best .40 S&W loads, but much stronger loads are available. With the notable exception of the Glock 29/30 set most pistols chambered for 10mm hold and additional round or 2 compared to the equivalent .45 model. As to over-penetration, I don't think the penetration capability is any more than a .357 Magnum. Would you feel over-gunned with a .357 Magnum in a defensive situation? The 10mm was designed to meet FBI specifications for ideal performance in a defensive pistol, I think they did well. The expense is a definite downside. [/QUOTE]
