I'm the happy owner of a Tanfoglio Witness in 10 mm Auto.
As many of you know, this cartridge has an incredible versatility, there are loads from 40 S&W level to the lower end of 41 Magnum.
It is a shame that this beautiful round was left to "die" after the introduction of the smaller brother.
Now I heard more and more that this caliber is again on the rise and that more and more pistols are being chambered for it.
Still finding ammo is hard (I do not even mention expensive...), sometimes even at gun stores.
Around here (Seattle) outside of specific gun shops, you can find the occasional box of FMJ at GI Joe's, forget about Big 5 and never mind Wal Mart.
The "big 3" American ammo manufacturers offer only one load (180 gr FMJ for Remington and 174 gr HP for Winchester) or max 2 loads (180 gr FMJ and HP for Federal)
Winchester, good for them, load this round to the original specs.
A more diverse offering came only form specialty manufacturers (Double Tap, Corbon) and not many gun stores carry them.
So this "resurgence" of the 10 mm Auto is for real. is it wishful thinking or is still too early to tell???
