Good grief. Maybe it IS for you. Or isn't. Whatever. At least you can't say you're still confused about its place in the world.
I didn't say I was confused. I said I was puzzled, way back in post #1.
That said, it wouldn't make sense to me to buy a 10mm so I could shoot exclusively .40 S&W, especially for IDPA
My conclusion is that its "place in the world" is for those who enjoy shooting 10mm in a gun S&W no longer offers and a few who want to shoot 40SW in IDPA (any others?). There are those who favor moonclip reloads and double action as well, again a competition thing most likely.
That's petty. I recall that someone did indeed value the gun for shooting 40 S&W. Parsing the word exclusively is petty.No one said anything about shooting .40 S&W exclusively thru a Model 610. Except for you.
Parsing the word exclusively is petty...
I was referring to the plethora of once-fired 40's available on the used brass market at $40/1K. Once-fired 10mm is almost non-existant on the used brass market. Regarding wear I have found that I am less concerned about how 40 wears because I can probably pick up a bunch of replacements every time I visit the range.Starline 10mm brass is $162/1000 and 40 short and weak brass is $154.50/1000. 8 bucks does not constitute relatively expensive in my book.
Besides, 10mm brass seems to last longer than 40 brass in my experience.
I'm thinking I may need to look into 10mm
The quest took me all of 1 min... There's 6 on gunbroker as I type this.
How is shooting a 10 mm significantly different than 41 Magnum
