10mm Comeback

[68Charger]

Nope, Owner of the shop knows me very well and what I like. He stopped carrying .40 cal in his shop altogether. But stated that he had a uptick in people wanting 10mm.

Personally I don't know why anybody would practically target shoot 10mm.

Depends on the target

If you reload, it costs roughly the same for mid load as 40s&w reloads... and is no less accurate.

Not a big fan of the 10mm, but just to play devil's advocate, if the grip size increase doesn't bug you vs. a .40 frame you can handload a significantly bigger range of ammo - plinkers to bigger boomers.

But if that's your goal, you can do a much larger range with a .44mag.

And if you do it with a 41 Mag or 454 Casull you will look better too.

It's a true story.

you should have said "with a 15 round s capacity"
Or
"That doesnt look like I'm overcompensating for simething when I whip it out"

10mm is increasing in popularity. I have been a fan for 30 years and I have several of them. G20SF, Razorback, 610 and a DI PCC.

I think the wane in .40 is due to several factors that are increasing the 9mm appeal. LE going back to 9mm, Production and Carry Optics in USPSA, better defense offerings in 9mm, more women shooting, old farts who have been "anything is fine as long as it starts with a .4" getting arthritis, or dying. The wane in the .40 appeal as well as some Eastern states loosening up caliber restrictions leads to some increase in appeal of the 10mm. Also, guys like Mike McNett and Razor Dobbs have been heard from more recently regarding their love of the cartridge.

Another reason is that some handguns available in .40 top out at 15 rounds naturally, where 9mm handguns are neutered down by Democrat legislators. If I was limited to 10 rounds, I'd get a bigger hand cannon so each of those rounds count more.

Now that I'm in a free state, I guess I could look at going to 9mm... but I already have guns in .40, and reloading dies are same as 10mm... and when a Dimotwit is in the white house again .40s&w will be the last one still left on the shelf.
