10mm anyone?

[Exiledviking]

With my last 10 mm, a Glock 20 SF, I used a KKM .40 S&W conversion barrel for cheaper practice. Ran great and was a laugh to shoot due to the reduced recoil.

Had the itch for a 10mm (And still do).
Rented a Glock G20 and the recoil wasn't bad at all.
But variety, price and availability of ammo has kept me from getting one.
My nitch/expensive/not always available round? 357 Sig.
I can still get LE Federal HST, Speer GDHP and Winchester Ranger T-Series in 357 Sig.

A friend of mine has a Glock 20................................the recoil is manageable.........................he can't hit the broad side of a barn with it, but that's his problem. He's got it to carry along when deer hunting, or in case he runs into a bear.........................I told him he's lucky that bears are so big, otherwise he wouldn't hit it.................. I prefer shooting .40 myself...................

I guess he intends to unload his rifle into said deer, and then encounter the bear......

"....thars a bar! whar? over thar!"

Rangers at Yellowstone are issued a brand new US Dept of Interior S&W Model 29 revolvers. Most file off the front sight smooth, as it makes it hurt less when the bear shoves it up their ass. Most also will only fire five shots at any bear, leaving #6 for themselves, as its a known fact that the bears generally wont mess with a dead creature.

There is a good article on the 10mm in this month's American Rifleman.

Thanks you the replies everyone and that was a great article. I still don't know why I want or need a 10mm other then I just want one. I hunt but I live 30 minutes south of Atlanta so I doubt I'd run into a bear. I do plan on camping around the north Ga mountains but it's not like it's grizzly country or anything. The only thing that's really stopping me from getting one is the price of ammo and the availability of it at local stores. I haven't seen any 10mm at academy sports. There is Georgia Arms that sells ball ammo for around $22 for a box of 50. I'd like to get into reloading but idk if the initial up front cost would out weigh the savings.

You can do more with the 10mm loading it yourself than you can with factory ammo. Load down for a mid level load, load up a bit hotter than factory too, if you're gun will take it.

You might find that a backing off on the oomph just a wee bit has a humongous effect on accuracy... not uncommon with reloading for autoloaders.

Buy ammo in bulk and save on shipping cost.

I've got a 10mm Witness P-Carry from EAA. I really like it. For plinking you can get 50 rounds of Precision One's FMJ for $20.99. I've also put some Underwood ammo through it and that is definitely a HOT round! For my self-defense rounds, I settled on this 180 gr JHP from HPR. I'm really pleased with it.

I'm a big fan of the 10mm. I have two and pack them from time to time when I'm feelin' froggy.

I reload and use some warmish rounds with 180 Golden Saber bullets. They're doing at a 100 yards what a 45 ACP is doing at the muzzle.

Flat shooting and salty when they hit.
I put the 41 Magnum away when I left the Highway Patrol, and carried them out on the ranch for 20 years. When I moved back to town
I figgered they were a little much for city livin', so I went back to 45 ACP and .357 Mag revolvers.

Just got the CW45 and we are in the process of getting to know each other.

Those are very beautiful guns you have there.

[Iggy]

Thanks fellers.

[Bawanna]

I got a Tee Pee in my britches. Beautiful picture.

I see arched main spring housings on both, you must have swapped those out to fit your style?

[Iggy]

Yup along with an oversized firing pin stop and got rid of the full length guide rods.

I was one of the instigators to get the DW Razorback created way back when. Both of those guns have serial numbers based on my old badge number.
