    10mm or .45ACP?

    the recoil from the 10mm is NOT so unmanagable. my daughter was effectively shooting both my g20 and g29 with winchester silvertips and corbon loads at 14 yrs old. sure...it doesnt tickle your palm like a 9mm,but then again ...it doesnt hit like it does either! btw, im not knocking the 9mm, i...

    That is CRAZY funny , I almost choked on my coffee . now if car b would have been a toyota 4runner, instead of the door locking, they all would have popped up in the unlock position when the guy tried to lock the door with the key in . an annoying feature, but you can never lock your keys in the...

    Do I Want A 10mm?

    The 10mm is my favorite handgun caliber. If a doublestack 10mm cant get it done,you need a rifle :) yES ,it is true you have to shop around a little more to get ammo, but its available and you can get all you want or need of it, just not "on the fly" while on your way to the range. or with a...
