[QUOTE="davek, post: 3143413, member: 519"] I've owned a number of 10mm pistols. Most of the S&W10xx line (except the 1046). S&W 610, a Dan Wesson PM7. I've shot a Glock 20. I currently only own one, a Sig P220 SAO. Never tried a Tanfoglio Witness or even seen a Bren 10. Or shot a high end custom 1911. The P220 is the easiest to shoot, but that's because it's so massive. A ton o' gun. In a 1911 there are several Rock Island Armory 1911s in 10mm. If you just want to have one to shoot without a lot of investment that might be worth considering. Or step up a bit - Ruger makes the SR1911 in 10mm (if you can find one) and it has the series 70 trigger. The Ruger GP100 also comes in 10mm if you want a revolver. Loved the S&W 10xx pistols, but prices have gone way up lately and they don't make the mags anymore. I sold S&W 10xx pistols with every financial crisis and wish I'd never sold any. But I didn't lose money on any of them. So if I wanted just one I'd go with the Ruger SR1911 or a Glock 40 and try to make it work for me. I have a difficult time with Glocks though for no reason I can determine. The S&B 180 gr FMJ is excellent practice ammo and pretty reasonably priced. SIG makes pretty good 10mm ammo as well. And there is Underwood, Buffalo Bore and DoubleTap is you want real 10mm loads. Winchester Silvertips are nice, but I haven't seen a box of those for quite a while. Georgia Arms Canned Heat is not full powered but otherwise is OK. I really wish there was a reasonably priced 10mm carbine that was gas operated, not a blowback action. [/QUOTE]
