Why the hell is it so hard to find a 10mm pistol? The choices are so limited. Not that great of a round...I've got a couple Glocks I'm willing to part with.  Do you still have all of your fingers? Yup, cause' they only have a box of ammo each through them...
I'm not really selling them, they are safe queens. The only matched set of pistols I own, so I can't get rid of them...although I've not shot either in years. Too expensive. |

I've actually been considering parting with my Delta Gold Cup Elite.
It's an awesome pistol, I just dont shoot it any more...havent fired it in about 2 years. Havent actually brought myself to selling it yet.....but....still thinking about it. 1911 goodness with the shock & awe that is 10mm |

Quoted: Quoted: 10mm is for amateurs. 45 with bacon. if 10mm is for amateurs, you are insinuating that you are for accuracy over power. So now that we've established that you are a whore, we are dickering on the caliber. What's wrong with a 5.7mm? 5.7 is for pussies. ETA: The 5.7 gun also looks like shit. |

I hoped Springfield was going to make a XD10mm I will be forced to buy a glock at some point if I want a 10mm I suppose Me too. I have a XD40 and XDm40. If Springfield makes a 10mm in either flavor, I'd buy it in a HEARTBEAT for full MSRP. Call me crazy, but that's what I want. |

(5.7 works great right out of the box, and is infinitely more accurate than any 45)

10mm is my favorite round! I've had or have: Glock 20, Glock 20SF, STI, Smith Wesson 610, Omega, Witness. Others: Megastar, Bren Ten, Smith Wesson auto
You will need to reload. I shoot light loads for everyday matches. Heavy loads when I go out in the country. |
|
You've pretty much posted a pic of ALL of the 10mm's in the market. How do you like the G29 compared to the EAA witness? |

How do you like the G29 compared to the EAA witness? I'm partial to all of them, the G29 is a little bit easier to carry for me. I like all of them equally, my favorite accuracy wise is the Gold Cup with handloads. Danny  Delta Elite is out of my league $$$ wise. Which would you get as a first 10mm pistol, EAA Witness, G29 or G20? I personally am leaning towards a G29 SF with full rail, but not sure yet. |

I thought the big drawback to a 10mm was that the commercially manufactured ammunition for the caliber was loaded on the light side and therefore did not take full advantage of the ballistic capabilities.
If I am right, I don't know why 10mm ammo is loaded light. |

If I am right, I don't know why 10mm ammo is loaded light. Not my issue. I reload, so it will be 100% hot all the way

I have many 45's. I still want a good 10mm. The thing about 45 that has always bugged me is I can follow the bullet flight, and I swear that slug moves so slow the bad guy has time to duck. +P ETA: Does 10mm kill them any more dead than .45 ACP? It works good on the guy behind him also

If it was my first 10MM and I did not know if I'd like it, or be able to afford to shoot it allot.... Gosh....darn.....piss.... It would have to be the Witness everything considered. It was the least expensive new, came in around $350.00. Danny

If I am right, I don't know why 10mm ammo is loaded light. I don't think all 10MM is loaded light. I have some older Hornady 180 XTPs that are pretty stout. And the Win. 175 gr. Silvertip is loaded to around 1275 fps. IIRC. Then there's Double Tap. Danny

I recommend the Glock 20SF........it is a big improvement over the old 20 version. I did break the trigger bar spring a couple times but that was after years of shooting, just keep an extra one on hand. Other than wearing out mags, I've yet to have a problem.
Hot loads in the 10mm compare to the 41 Mag, which is another fantastic round. |
