2nd Gen Glock 20, I absolutely love this gun with a passion, I don't know what it is about it but that's just how it be.
I just stumbled upon this G20 by complete chance and actually had no desire to stock any new calibers that I didn't already own but I am very happy that I made the exception and am now a proud stocker of 10mm.
BTW, this all being a little strange coming from a guy who despises the 40 caliber, comparable to someone who hates the .38spl but loves the .357mag, just a thought.
@ FMJ, just curious, why a 2nd Gen as opposed to a 3rd Gen? I feel the same way I was just wondering what you found more appealing about the 2nd Gen G20.
My Glock coffee mug rocks a 2nd Gen G20 which makes it a little more special to me.

A nice condition S&W 1006 caught my eye about 6 weeks back at a gunshow, and I brought it home. I don't particularly care for the deecocker or DA only of the the other Smith 10mm variants, so the 1006 with the standard DA/SA works for me. Initially it had a glitch with every mag, having one round that failed to extract, so it went and recently returned from S&W, and they replaced the extractor and spring (at my expense; oh well
). Range work resulted with a gun that can group into about 6-8" at 50 yards if I do my job, and only had one extraction glitch at the beginning, but seemed to go away. I lubed the gun with a heavy tan rifle grease I use on M1 Garands and such, and this seemed to create a better cycling. I bought this S&W 10mm to go with one I already had, a custom Caspian 10mm done by SDM Fabricating years ago, so I was already loading for the 10mm. The custom Caspian is a precision instrument, but I thought a stainless "utility" 10mm was a good idea, too. I have often thought that a pair of Glock 29's or 20's would be the perfect fighting handguns, in the "zone", for bodyguard use, or when you just KNEW you'd have to fight and be your own backup, but I haven't bought or used those models of Glocks yet.

Smith 610 6.5" now. Thinking about having the barrel shortened to max legal IDPA spec.
Used to have a Kimber Eclipse Custom II in 10mm, sold it though. Beautiful gun, but making it run w/ hollowpoints was a constant challenge. Plus, I just prefer revolvers..

Kimber Stainless Target II, sweet 10mm goodness.

I think it is pretty well suited for both. I would imagine an MP5 or Uzi in 10mm would be quite a thing. I wish Kel-Tec would make a Sub2000 in 10mm. Mine is a G20, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The easy conversion to .40 adds a lot of value for me as well.

Just finished building up a 10mm AR15 using Olympic Arms' 10mm upper. Basically stripped it down for the barrel and bolt goodies and built it up with a lo-pro flat top upper and other tasty goodies. I posted a thread with pics over in the rifle section.
This one will share ammo with my Delta Elite mentioned earlier.

Colt Delta Elite SS. I've been considering (wanting, really, really wanting) a Glock 20SF. I am a little intrigued by the G29SF, though for the longer site radius and mag capacity. It would be mostly for hunting. Any experienced Glock 10mm owners that can help me decide?

I think the G29 is a more flexible system.I have a G29SF You can use it for carry with 10 round mags and then convert it for either HD or a hunting/woods gun with G20 mags and A & G mag sleeves and a Storm Lake 4.48" barrel. You can also shoot .40 S&W or 357Sig with a conversion barrel It's easier to make a G29 like a G20 than it is to make a G20 like a G29. Go for the G29SF. I don't think you'll regret it.

Tanfoglio Witness Polymer Compact.
Although I do have to admit, the 10mm rounds is pretty harsh on the flexible frame.
