Anyone else shoot 10mm???

[K9paulc]

Or is it just me???

I've been shooting 10mm for a long time now and have seen the "rise and fall" so to speak of the 10mm in popularity, and have began to notice a slight increase in interest in the shooting community.

I'm currently using a Glock 20, and Corbon 165gr. JHP.

Anybody else? What'dya got???

[wildcard]

Nope.. but I mostly shoot stout 40 S&W out of my Glock 35. 165 gr bullets at 1150 FPS using Black Hills EXP.. Speer Lawman.. and Double Tap.

I've got both a S&W 1006 and a Kimber Eclipse Custom II in 10mm. Too big for carry purposes and too powerful for IDPA, but I like both.

Use Double-Tap when I want the real feel of 10mm.

I shoot 10mm out of a S&W 1006.

Love the gun. It's getting wood Hogues soon.

I used to think bad things about S&W autoloaders, and I'm not sure the mass-production 40 guns used by the CHP are that solid. Turns out the full-size 10mm (1006, 1076, etc.) and 45ACP (4506) are great guns, very very durable and accurate. A huge change from the Bangor-Punta era 645 I had back in early 90s.

Haven't fired the hottest loads yet - the Miwall loads and the Fed & Rem loads seem to be "40 strong" perhaps instead of full-house 10mm.

I do have to try DoubleTap ammo.

I will be getting a G20 soon off a buddy. What 10mm ammo is good and what is bad? because he also has an assortment of ammo he want to trade for .223 ammo.

just bought a 10mm havent picked it up yet, i did buy some double tap ammo cant wait to try it out

[K9paulc]

Yeah, I've been wanting to pick up some Double Tap 200gr., I've never shot the stuff, but from what I hear it is closest to a "real" 10mm load not just a hot .40s&w.

I use alot of Corbon, thats what the local place here in town has available mostly, but I do like the Winchester Silver tips, and the El Dorado Starfire I think it is, for defensive purposes.

I also have some original boxes of the Black Talons in 10mm stashed away for those times when I feel like going old school!

[chickenfried]

Don't shoot it that often, ammo's a little too expensive. I've been using Doubletap ammo, the 180 grain fmj at 1250 fps.

Like you, I also own a G20 but it doesn't get as much love as my G19, P229 in 40 & 357 Sig & USPC 45 due to expensive ammo. But that same G20 sits inside a Multivault box next to my USPC 45 as my 2nd go to pistol.

[SnWnMe]

I got a bit of AA#9 and I'm gunna crank this baby some more. 180 and 1,300 is the goal.

Colt delta elite gold cup, and AR15 in 10mm

[Astig Boy]

I really dont understand the fascination with this round. It is not common, hard to find ammo anywhere, not a lot of manufactures make 10mm pistols. What is so special about the 10mm??? Id like a serious answer, please elaborate.

Excellent ballistics, in particular external and terminal, for a start. It offers near-.41 Mag performance at the high end, and .40 S&W performance when downloaded. (The .40 Short&Weak basically got started as a 'Special' version of the 10mm.) This performance comes in a reasonably-sized package. You can hit the zone on an IPSC target at 100 yds. from prone with no hold-over.

Not to mention that 10mm aficionados are generally very knowledgeable and just all-around good people, eclipsed, if at all, by only the .41 Mag folk.

Colt Delta Gold Cup

I've had a Colt Delta Gold Cup for about 8 years and shoot it once in awhile. If the ammo cost the same as .45 ACP or .40 S&W I would shoot it more often. Maybe I need to start reloading.

It is a great gun and a lot of fun to shoot.

This thread reminds me of a time way back before OLL when Wes was putting together a Kimber group buy and I was contemplating a Kimber 10mm...

So, no I don't have a 10mm yet, but soon. Maybe a Glock 20 or a Kimber Stainless.
