10mm vs .45

[TripleThreat]

I may of found a wild game sidearm alternative?

Since it seems to be true that most 10mm factory rounds are about the same strength as a .40 cal round. Would a 40+P or +P+ be stronger then today's watered down factory 10mm rounds?

I load my .40 ve with +p and have had +p+ in it. since most 10mm rounds are under powered it does not really seem like a good investment. I have heard now that the 10mm is somewhere in the middle between a .45 and a .357. I would guess that would be a .40 with high viloc.

underwood ammo is the best stuff you can get for the 10mm round. i have bought from them before and will buy more when i need 10mm ammo. their stuff is top notch. full power 10's is the way to go.

Reload, Reload, Reload, Reload, Reload, thats all a 10mm owner ever needs to do =)

I am going to be buying a new Glock in the next week. I am going to get either a 20 or a 21. I know that .45 is readily available anywhere. Not so sure about 10mm. I do need a gun for SD but I do have a .40 S&W and a G17 so the SD is just one more thing. I need a round that could do some dammage to a charging preditor like a mt. lion or a bear if the need should ever arise. I know a this would just be for that extreem circumstance. I will also have a 30-06 when I am hunting out in ther woods. So would a .45 or a .45+p do the trick. HP or FMJ? The 10mm would probably do a better job but the ammo is more exoensive and I have heard its getting hard to find. Is this the case? I would really like to get the .45 so don't get me wrong. I have also heard and read that there are realibility issues with the 10mm, more so than the good old .45 AP. I have had .45's in ther past but they were for SD and I was not taking into acct that I might have to use it on a larger animal. Any thoughts?

If you already have a 9mm and a .40, and you're looking for something that works on larger animals, I would recommend the 10mm. I have a Glock 20 and I love it. Ammo is not hard to find, but if you want full power loads you'll have to buy online at $1/round or reload your own.

Only 1/2 true

...Ammo is not hard to find, but if you want full power loads you'll have to buy online at $1/round...

I keep hearing that, but I don't keep seeing that.

Underwood can be had for as low as 50 cents a round and my local guns store has 10mm for $25 for a box for 50.

The gun stores around me don't carry 10mm, and the one that does has only a few brands and they are not full power loads.

Consider yourself lucky if you can get full power loads for cheap.

Question..

How many calibers can the Glock 20 shoot with conversions barrels?
