Mace1647545504 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I'm looking at possibly buying a 10mm full size weapon. I know it's related to the 40. Who here has shot a 10mm and how does it compare to a 40/45 or even a 44mag. I've shot the calibers above with the 44 being an SOB out of a 4 inch barrel. Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info If only there were a section to discuss firearms where you weren't looking to buy or sell... Kidding. I have shot one once. To me it was more akin to a 40/45. Much different than a 44mag. You'd be fine. Go rent one. They're not bad at all IMO. I don't want one for the sole fact that it'd be the only thing in that caliber and I typically don't see the ammo readily avail near me.

I'm one of those who like to ask a lot of questions before I buy. I'm thinking the same way...it's a bit of a weird caliber and would be the only one I have..thanks for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Shot a couple of them multiple times. If you get one I would say look at the Rock Island lineup. With the larger frame and barrel it is similar recoil and feel to the .45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I already have a .40 and the .40 die can reload 10mm so I wouldn't worry too much about availability on ammo. Just make some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleyounger3 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I have a glock and sig 10mm I like them better than the 45. We can meet and you can shoot them sometime next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace1647545504 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I'd love to but I've just had shoulder surgery and can barely pick my right arm up as we speak...well type. I'm looking at long term and shooting it 3-4 months down the road. Springfield has a deal on them right now that's what started my asking about them,and I've seen a few RIAs on armslist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I own a G20sf. Its a full size but not bad at all to shoot with my hot handloads. Love me some 10mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwilli1647545487 Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 10mm is very manageable. I have a Glock 20 set up as a my back packing "bear" gun. Even with the very very hot bear loads it's not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace1647545504 Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I heard that is the round used somewhere in Norway by their soldiers that travel to BFE. Have you ever shot a bear with the 10?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the very very hot bear loads it's not bad. I recently bought a S&W 329PD (44mag) for backcountry hunting trips out West. It's a dream to carry (that's it's entire purpose) at only 25oz., but MY GOD, is it awful to actually shoot. I didn't have time to cook up any handloads before my last trip to Idaho, so I just bought some HSM 305gr +p hardcasts. And I don't consider myself to be recoil sensitive in the least. Fuck. That. Noise. :dumb: Of note, I bought the 329 to replace my G20 for my backcountry sidearm because the G20 weighs a ton and sucked to carry with a frame pack on. I sure do pay for that weight savings, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammit Charlie Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 They aren't terrible. Think of a 45 acp but snappier. I wouldn't EDC one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever shot a bear with the 10?? No, I don't hunt with it. It's an insurance policy. I don't think I'd purposefully hunt a bear with a 10mm.....

I think I was doing a bill drill from a chest rig in like 3.5 seconds..Not great, but I wasn't super fast out of that rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
