Quote HistoryQuoted: Do you mean recoil or ergonomics? I prefer the 3/8 inch drive for the 10 mm. The 1/4 inch drive doesn’t seem to hold up well for the stuck or hard rusted bolts or nuts. The 1/2 inch drive is overkill for all but the toughest nuts. |

Those better options aren't as easy to find or afford like 10mm. 10mm is the compromise between magnum rounds out of revolvers and semiauto capacity without becoming prohibitively expensive to shoot. Just out of curiosity, can yku hunt with 10mm in Pennsylvania?

I’ll probably end up buying one of the new Sig P320 X-Ten pistols in about a year, but it’d just be for fun at the range and to have something different. 9mm does everything I need from a handgun perfectly well

If you reload and don't mind chasing brass, it's great. If you don't reload, you will either never shoot it, or you'll be broke.
I think it's a fun round to play with, but it doesn't really scratch an itch for me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This. You can find badass factory loads, but of course you'll pay dearly ($). If you're going to load ammunition yourself, .40 will likely do anything you'll need it to do, plus you've got the option to buy less expensive bulk ammunition for training/plinking purposes. Of course, you can shoot .40 S&W out of a 10mm Glock. You cannot shoot .40 S&W out of a 10mm MP5/10 however (due to how the extractor works). Data point: 40 S&W feeds/cycles/shoots fine through an EAA/Tanfoglio Witness 10mm. |

The Glock 20 is absolutely massive, I almost bought one until I held it and realized I'd never carry it in the woods.
The 1911 10mm's can be smaller but are heavy. I carry 9mm in town in a much smaller package (Sig P365). When I hike, I carry 357 magnum. It does everything the 10mm does in a 17 ounce package (Ruger KLCR). It's the perfect woods gun, so light you forget it's there. If I'm planning on shooting something (small game) I'll carry my Ruger SP101 with a 4.2" barrel. If I was actually concerned about bears, I'd carry my 44 Mag (S&W 629). The 10mm is like the Ford Raptor. It's awesome and powerful and expensive and sexy and probably has more power than you'll ever need until you actually have to tow something big then there are much better options.

 I'll probably get one someday but will likely get a .44 revolver first (already have ammo) even though I don't need either.
