10mm Comeback

[stodg73]

Does 10mm use large pistol primers?

Yes

I own 10mm because I hate revolvers, and it makes a great critter gun in the woods.

I have never, and never will own a .40. It does nothing but add recoil to what my 9mm can do, and it sucks to shoot compared to a .45.

I wonder if S&W will bring the 610 back. That would be fun.

10mm is great, I have owned a few different ones over the years and have a g20 now. If ammo manafacturs would load it properly and bring there costs down 10mm would be even more popular. 15rds of full house 10mm is pretty hard to beat.

I’d like to see one in the M&P line.

Ruger's new GP100 in 10mm has my attention.

10mm, reminds me of the 80's and Miami Vice with Crockett's Bren Ten. Also the controversy of Glock releasing a 10mm before the premiere 10mm launch customer pistol maker got product on the shelves ( can't remember who the pistol maker was though, might have been Bren or some other manufacturer)

I have been shooting 10mm since the Delta Elite was released and Norma was the only ammo made.

I remember how happy I was when Hornady introduced their 10mm loads

I have always been a 10mm fan, I own a .40 but have never been fond of the short and weak.

Brent 10 was the first to announce production

Hmm, was he trying to sell a 10mm by any chance? (sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one)

All kidding aside, the only reason to choose .40S&W over 10mm is for compatibility (with another firearm or with ammo that's still on the shelf when a (D) is in office)...
10mm can be loaded to the same power, so recoil isn't any different when using those loads... they use the same bullets and dies, but primers, brass and frequently powder are different.

but then load full-house 10mm loads and you've got some real power

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.
