Here is the Wiki page that gives a lot of detail about the 10mm.

Recoil, limited producers of the caliber even when it first emerged (far less now that FBI dropped it), hard to fit in a compact weapon system, and generally an expensive round to shoot comparatively speaking.

Sig there is no wiki page link and thanks guys

For anybody here who loads for 10mm, Starline has their 10mm brass available again.

 

[horsemen61]

Thanks Dave

I lucked out and was able to buy a qty of 500 10mm brass. With that I will reload 500 X-Treme 180 gr. That should last my 10mm shooting needs for a year.

I've really had the hots for a 10mm for a few years now, and an affordable option came into my life last month in form of a Glock 20C. I've tried a few of the Underwood ammo options available and REALLY like this gun. For $450 I figured it was a good way to get my feet wet in a platform I don't mind beating up.

Some day I'll stumble upon a S&W 610.....some day.

Their website shows backordered now. At least it does from my phone.

 

[ATLDave]

Backordered is as good as it gets. That's when you can place an order. Look at most of the other brass, and you can't place a backorder at all.

So "backordered" means available in Starline world.

So I've got my eye set on a Witness Elite Stock in 10mm... If anyone happens to want a RIA 1911 10mm in trade towards one...

 

[Ruger480]

I'm in! I just got my EAA Witness P a couple weeks ago.
And yes, this is my first post on this forum. How cool is it that I get to join this elite club at the same time!

 

[Dframe]

I don't shoot a lot of 10mm but like the round. My gun is a S&W model 610.

 

[Desolo]

These are poorly done pictures, but I finally get to join the Club!

I happened to be in a local shop, getting ready to give up and put money down on a Glock 20 when I scanned a display case and saw THIS:




A brand new Para LS Hunter in 10mm.... Not only a 10mm 1911 like I wanted but a LONGSLIDE with ramped barrel and a flat firing pin stop to boot.
I'm going to go shoot it this Thursday.... looks like I'm gonna need to start reloading.

 

[horsemen61]

Major score tonight guys I just found a bag of STARLINE 10mm brass at the lgs I am so pumped gonna go load some

 

[Olympus]

I just bought 500 pieces of 10mm brass on another forum! Range pickups.

 

[Oceanbob]

I am in as well. I love 10MM and have a dedicated reloading press for this caliber. (Dillon 550B)

I own two Glock 29s, one Glock 20SF, one Glock 20SF Longslide and a
Mech-Tech 10MM carbine conversion unit. ( with its own dedicated frame)

Photos below.

Mech-tech and Glock 20SF



My Glock 20 longslide.


My 2 Glock 29s. One is a spare. Incredible handguns.

 

[Oceanbob]

As a side note to my fellow 10MM people, if you hunt with 10MM know your limitations with high pressure ammo.

Find a barrel with good case support at the 6 o'clock position. Resize all ammo Full Length. You will know the Glock Smile eventually. Also if you're shooting lead bullets, use only Brinnell hardness of 16 or greater. 200 grain weights are my favorites thus far.

 

[horsemen61]

Thanks for the pics oceanbob

 

[horsemen61]

Update I got to go shoot her for the first time yesterday and all I can say is I loved it can't wait to do it again

I love my 10mm. That said...I'm going back to .357 mag. I'm tired of chasing (expensive and hard to acquire) ejected brass (that lands somewhere in the next county).

A heavier recoil spring will help keep that from happening. With my reloads, a 22lbs spring drops the brass right beside me.

 

[horsemen61]

I agree with Olympus on the recoil spring
