10mm

Yesterday I purchsed a 10mm CMMG Bronze Banshee. Now I need a 10mm revolver and I need to brush up on reloading 10mm.

I wonder if I can shoot poly coated lead through the Banshee?
 
Single action revolvers in rimless cartridges give up the single biggest advantage for chambering a revolver in a rimless cartridge, the use of thick robust moonclips for fast reloads. Seems rather silly to me but I am not much of a fan of single action revolvers and a huge proponent of moonclips... YMMV.
It's still really cool regardless.

I agree, however I am queer for 10 mm and queer for single actions, so that Cimarron is right up my alley!

I always thought it was odd that S&W used the N frame to house the 10mm ... The L frame seems to have been able to do the job ... like the GP100..

I have a 40 S&W Charter revolver... I contacted Charter about a possible 10mm in the newer Charter XL frame ( 45 Colt ,45acp , 41 mag and a
6 shot 357)
I was told that the 10mm produced to much pressure...

Depends on your perspective.

The single biggest advantage to single action revolvers is that you don't need to use moonclips for extraction.

Just a matter of what a person thinks is important.

In both cases, the attraction is usually using more readily available and often cheaper rimless cases and components.

Couldn't agree more! A 10mm L-frame would be an wonderful revolver!
 
As soon as this gun buying frenzy is over .. Im sorta expecting Taurus to roll out with a 10mm revolver.. .
To me a big benefit of a 10mm revolver is being able to fire 40S&W ammo
 
That’s not quite a catalog item. I’m not aware of Ruger making a Vaquero in 10mm. Did it start life as one of the .40 / 38-40 guns with reamed cylinders?

And is that a S&W rear sight?

I kind of like it.

It started life as a bright stainless .40 S&W Vaquero commemorative made for the 150th anniversary of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. It was one of the blemished guns, so I got it for $250 (in 2000). Shooting .40 S&W in that large frame was underwhelming, so I sent it off to Alan Harton in Houston. He reamed it for 10mm, bead blasted the bright stainless that looked like nickel, and added S&W J-frame sights. I really like it now.

Very cool.

Thanks for sharing.

I’m a single action user and I see your point, the SA loading process completely defeats the advantages moonclips have.

Stay safe.

I too am a huge fan of Moonclips, but I'm also a huge fan of single action revolvers. Of course there (SAs) the 45 Colt is the caliber of choice for me. (smiley face goes here)

okay, I have to ask...how are you using this word? Other than the modern usage, queer means “strange” and it also means “ruined”.

Neither make much sense to me...

It’s just a saying I grew up with. Meaning a “strange/odd liking “ for something.
