10mm choices

[PandaLuv]

even though I sold my 17, I'd go with Glock 20 or 29.

[Fishslayer]

Well, that is a bit of a problem when you want an "uncommon bore" - they are uncommon!

Uncommon but not unpossible. The odd 1006 & Delta Elite show up from time to time. Bring money! Saw a like new 1006 earlier this year @ $800.
Monkeys will fly out my rear orifice before I buy a 10 mm G****.

I think I would just buy a .40 and tell everyone it was a 10mm short...

I call it 10 mm Kurz.

Wonder if one could convert a Ruger 944 to 10 mm?

I also have an early-model EAA Witness, which has a much beefier slide than the late models (which have experienced slide cracking issues).

Yes, the EAA Witness are nice. Just don't get a standard model Witness though. Get an Elite series and you should be good (or better). The standard witness and compacts have jamming problems. There are fixes out there for it, but you will be better off with an Elite series.

Also, as far as the cracking slides, it's just the model with the Wonder finish. The other finishes are fine.

It would be a fine pistol for SSE in CA, but it seems they are quite popular in the rest of the country and are hard to find in stock.

Try a Glock 29 short frame (SF) model. It will fit your hand.

Or Get a G20SF. Seriously for the money and available options you Glock is the platform.

Here's my new Pig Killer...Glock 20 with a lonewolf 6 inch longslide.

Be well, Bob

S&W 610. If you find a pre lock model for sale don't tell anyone because it will be gone when go there to buy it. Here is mine. It's been converted to 10 mm magnum.

[Cyc Wid It]

Delta Elite or some 1911 variant.

[sned45]

Another option AR carbine in 10MM.

I'd say give the glock another try, i love my G20 and my buddy that didnt' like glocks, really likes my g20. and dont' forget, you can buy different grips and what not for the glock.

[DRAB_81]

Do you hate hate the looks of my G20LS?


I absolutely HATED the feel of Glocks until I shot a G20SF. Now all I own are Glocks.

I do like the Dan Wesson 10mm 1911's though...

My 10mm experience

I had the 10mm urge like the OP about 12 years ago, and looked for a 10mm Delta Gold Cup online at the auction sites. This was just before the CA gun list went into effect, and you could import handguns into the state through an FFL without worrying about a list of approved guns. At that time they were going for about $800 and you would see them pop up from time to time. Eventually I found one that was slightly used and won the auction.

I've been shooting the gun several times per year since then, and it has performed perfectly. I generally buy my ammo mail order from Georgia Arms.

If I were looking for a 10mm today I would probably go the Glock route, as I have a couple of Glocks in other calibers and don't have any bias against that brand.

I have a G20 and a Smith & Wesson 1006 you are welcome to try.

While different the Glock shoots better for me than the Smith.

Located in Concord. PM me if you want to meet up. Sammy

turners has the kimber 10mm sometimes.. pretty nice looking gun, its on my list to buy.

[UBFRAGD]

that its a fairly uncommon bore, and I know they pack a punch, large fast rounds

Glock has supported the 10mm. Let's all admit, if Glock wasn't still building 10mm Auto pistols, ammo would be as rare as 45-70 pistol loads. The bulk of 10mm ammo gets shot down a G20 or G29. 10mm would already be a reloading sidenote if Glock hadn't joined the game.

This is true...^^^

In my mind its big bucks for a custom like this one: (Ted for President!)





Or a slightly modified Glock Pig Hunter like this for way less money:
