[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3449762, member: 23"] The first time I ever heard of the 10mm, it was the caliber of choice for the Bren 10 that was based on the CZ75 design. It was supposed to be the caliber to solve any and all problems. The gun was expected to be more popular than Glock is today. The problem was that the only magazines that existed seemed to be with the gun for the demos and the one carried by Sonny Crockett on Miami Vice. After the infamous FBI Miami shootout in 1986 the feds realized they were seriously under gunned and adopted the 10mm as a duty weapon. IIRC correctly (and I could be wrong) they were issued Colt 1911 platform Semi-autos. They soon learned that the size and the weight of the gun plus the heavy recoil resulted in many of their agents failing to qualify. [/QUOTE]
