Convince me,....I should have a 10mm....

[JadeFox]

I was skeptical about this cartridge until I shot one. Heavy retail loads have some serious torque but, having been a 1911/.45ACP fan for years, the 10mm has provided me some great times. Husband loaded some 180 gr Hydro-Shoks (great deal through RMR) with 6.5 gr Unique. A bit more mild to handle and very accurate. If you are considering the 10, try to get someone to let you shoot one. I feel so shamed.... I love my Model 20!!!

Yea, and the expense and the SIG has problematic neck tension.

Did not know. That is a barrel breach thing, right?

While not a 1911 I just bought a Sig Sauer P220 Match Elite for no other reason than I could haha. Puts a huge smile on my face every time I shoot it!

Oh and Lucky Gunner isn't too bad of a site for research either.

If you want the "ultimate 9mm" buy a 10mm, then purchase a 9 X 25 Dillon barrel. This should "scratch" your 9mm "earschplittenloudenboomer" itch.

I had been curious about the 9x21, those are hot rounds! but a 9x25?

Buffalo Bore does some most excellent loads in all pistol calibers, and the 10 mm offerings are amazing, you touch one of the first time, you KNOW you got a serious performer in your hands!
10 mm is also pretty easy to hand load, and performance can be even better then the factory stuff if you take your time and build up your loads for a specific pistol!

 

[trevi]

Well, I think it is a no brainer to get one. Why the heck not!? But not before I sell a few guns. I want one with 6 inch barrel. Wish SIG made a TAC pack as they come with 4 mags.

I spoke too soon, SIG does offer it.

Nobody should have to convince you, regardless of any caliber you look at.

If your needing to be convince then you either have doubt about the caliber(which is a personal choice of whether your comfortable with its performance) or you haven't done enough research on the caliber (which asking to be convinced is kind of like you want peoples approval and lazy)

But here is a good picture. Of course the draw back on this picture is it doesn't state the brands of ammunition used in the test.

10mm is the only pistol caliber with its own nuclear power explosions, it is a have man!!!!

Dan Wesson came out with Kodiak, I guess to replace the Bruin. Look to be an improvement.

Anyone have experience with the Springfield TRP?

 

[DirectDrive]

Go shoot one.
I have. G20.4 and it's a sweet shooter.
Very accurate, too.

In a 1911, I'd entertain the Ruger over the Colt.
The Ruger's bull barrel gives the pistol more mass over the conventional Colt.

Also the Tanfo Stock III is a very nice CZ clone and is available in 10mm.
Beautiful pistol.

 

[trevi]

I am convinced.....

But I have a to-do list:
1. become WA resident
2. sell/ trade some guns
3. buy/ trade for 1911 longslide 10mm
4. shoot it like a pro
5. be awarded "cool guy" cred

Not all things are created equal.
Bourbon
Women
fast cars
and yes the glorious 10MM

 

[No_Regerts]

This thread/site is kinda funny. Everyone poopoos the 40 as being "too snappy" and they gush about the "fast follow-upshots" and "capacity" of a double stack 9mm.

Then a 10mm thread comes along and everyone is praising single stack guns chambered in a cartridge that is the definition of "Snappy".

 

[CountryGent]

The .40 bashing reminds me of that scene from Blazing Saddles. "I didn't get harrump out of that guy!"

 

[Stomper]

Life is painfully short. Live it to the absolute fullest while you can. Would adding a 10㎜ to your line up increase your joy? If the answers is in the affirmative, there is no reason to hesitate. Well wishes.

Yeabut..., will it make your (Don) Johnson bigger?

My buddy has one and I've shot it a few times. Things a cannon. I like it and I'm not really into 1911's . Love my glock 20. 10mm rocks!
