where did you find such a beautiful gun?! I want a glock chambered for 10mm SO BADLY. I love my G33, but I want a G29 or G20 so so so bad.
The article makes me rethink my decision to carry a 9MM. Might be time to upgrade.
I'll never carry anything smaller than a .40 and I prefer .45 ACP. 9mm stopped being an option for me about 5 minutes after the North Hollywood BOA shootout.
Buy the setup to reload for it, before you even buy the gun. You will do a LOT better in the long run. FMJ practice ammo for 10mm Auto is northward of $23 a box in the few places that sell it. Might even be worse than that now. I cannot state/stress this enough.
The guns themselves are easy enough to come by. I can get one of those virtually whenever- because there is always "that guy" that bought one, didn't 'realize how expensive it was to feed with commercial ammo, then turned around and sold it.

M&M FMJ reloads are $15.75/50rds at Match Shot.Buy the setup to reload for it, before you even buy the gun. You will do a LOT better in the long run.

True, but M&M does work well for practice/plinking ammo if you don't have reloading equipment. What and where is the FMJ ammo @ $23/box, DT is now up to $33/box for their 180gr FMJ loads.Yeah, but you know as well as I do that M+M doesn't even load to anything approaching 10mm commercial spec (and even that is weak, compared to the original "Norma Spec" 10mm..) unless they've changed the recipe recently Their loads were so weak that I could rapid fire my G20 at literally twice the rate with their ammo as factory. . The cases just dribble out of the ejection port. If I still had my G20 I would chrono the stuff, I think I still have a few boxes of it around. I bet its well under 1050 FPS, I would be surprised if it broke 950 actually- the stuff even seems weaker to me than .40 S+W commercial ammo is.
In 10mm a reload setup will easily pay for itself. Not only that, but you'll usually be able to crank .40 S+W out with the same dies, which is kinda
nice.

drgrant,
any chance you could give me a heads up if you ever come across a glock chambered for 10mm? you mentioned being able to come across them rather easily....I want one bad.
It's a Glock 29, 10+1 and a G20 15rd mag with an A&G sleeve for a spare. Carry ammo is Double-Tap's 180gr Gold Dots advertised 1200fps and roughly 650ft/lbs MV.
I always tell people that it does, but they never believe me. What is your recipe so I can whip up a batch of good carry ammo using my Grandpa's reloading equipment next time I'm in Vermont?I have exactly the same setup, but with my own handloads that put those to shame. The G29 is my favorite 10mm. It has less recoil than the G20 too.
Mabey it's a poor use of grammatical emphasis on your part, or did I miss out on something funny about that?
I wonder why the Officer did not try to enter his patrol car and create a little distance while calling for backup?I would say he was not too quick on his feet as far as making sound judgements.These actions years ago were called "Tombstone Courage".A lot of Cops die because of this.
If you've ever been to a car shoot, you'll know that sitting in a car just makes you a stationary target.
The car body does NOTHING to protect it's occupants.
17 COM shots....unreal.
There was another story I saw a while back about a gangster that took rifle hits and 40's to the chest and kept shooting back for quite some time, he only died when a bullet nicked his aorta.
The FBI did an investigation and determined that the coroners findings were false.Wow, some very interesting things there clinotus. Of particular note, the SPeer Gold Dot .40 cal rounds that only penetrated an inch or so, and expanded only slightly or not at all. Really makes you think about the relative ineffectiveness of handguns against a determined attacker who isn't too impressed by being shot.
When I said getting in the patrol car and creating distance,I meant to put it in gear and driving out of the danger zone,keeping an eye on the guy,calling for help and maybe watch the guy bleed out.
I will have to be more careful in the future.

You gotta shoot some rounds through the Saiga too.It's a great gun, but a little too thick for my tastes. If I lived in a free state I think a G20 would make an excellant keep-in-the-car pistol, but for now my G31, G32 and G33 will have to do the trick.
We should just hang out more often, so I can enjoy all them benefits of available 10mm firepower without any of the drawbacks.

I want in on that.
