Wow, i thought it was gangsta rappers.
Anyways, I see alot more 10mm around western PA then .357sig. I know four other people who are big fans of the 10mm, and there's only one person i know of who had a .357sig, and he sold it.
What about a 10mm

The 10mm, & the .41 mag as far as that is concerned, is not dead. It is not a major player and never will be. it has it's niche and those who love, love it. I have shot one and it was fun,.
I much prefer the .45 ACP for general shooting. It is very accurate. I can load it light or medium or stout. There are componets galore for it. etc.
I would start with the .45 because it is pleasent to shoot and easy to reload. It is a great cartridge to learn reloading on. It's very forgiving, operates at low pressures, etc. You can always pick up a 10 sometime. Millions love the .45 ACP for a reason.
I wish someone would make a revolver in 10mm that headspaces on the case mouth, similar to what others have done in .45 ACP, no moon clips needed. A 1911 and a revolver chambered in 10mm, that really captures my imagination.
I'm a big fan of the .357 round, and from what I hear, the 10mm is the closest thing you can get to .357 performance - .357 sig is equivalent to the most mild .357 magnum rounds, not to the true potential of the magnum. But I'd like to be able to pack both a semi-auto and a revolver with .357 MAGNUM power, without having to lug two separate kinds of ammo.
Anyway, I have strange predelictions, I'll admit. But still....

It might be a good idea if you plan to shoot lots of lead. I got a KKM for my G29 because I felt (no hard experience, just what I know about work-hardening) that my brass would last longer without the bulge.
Check Gunbroker and get yourself a S&W 610 and a Delta Elite and you'll have both. In the 610, the cartridge headspaces on the mouth - you need the moon clips for extraction.

My Glock 29 still sports its original barrel. 10mm has much less tendency to bulge in the unsupported area than .40S&W does. I believe it's because 10mm brass has a beefier case web.
Very few of my factory loaded ammo has ever had a bulge, even hot stuff like DoubleTap. My Georgia Arms Shear Power Plus ammo didn't bulge either with Starline brass. My practice reloads are 180s doing 1000-fps out of my G29 and they don't have bulged cases.

I bulged brass out of my factory barrel using Blue Dot and 800X. The Blue Dot load was just below max and I won't tell you how much over the 800X was
I couldn't wait until my Storm Lake barrel came in so I took the G20 out and put the loads thru it. They shot fine out of the 1006 but the Glock barrel gave me glocksmiles. Not bad, but enough to compromise the brass in my opinion.
You can get a Storm Lake stainless barrel for a G20 at www.topglock.com for $98 and they are just as good as a Jarvis.

Here's a pic of my set up with a Glock tac light. Both barrels are Storm Lake. The 6" is in the gun at the time of this picture but since has been removed and put on stand by.
Another without the 6" installed.
