10mm club

And an original Bren 10.

Since you mentioned it, ...

An original (old school) BT:



A pair of "new school" BTs, ... that is, if Vltor ever gets them to market:

Finally my 9 inch barrel arrived !

I haven't tried it yet but did watch hickok45 run this barrel and it looks promising.

I have some 155 TMJ that clocks 1500 FPS out of a stock barrel, this 9 incher might bump it up to 1800.

For pig hunting you can't beat a long slide Glock 20.

 

[Havok7416]

Make sure you practice your draw, Oceanbob! Especially if you intend to hunt angry bacon with it. My Javelina can be difficult to properly draw and it only has a measly 7-inch barrel.

 

[astocks2622]

Well sure it's accurate, you're half-way there! Ok, so I'm a bit jealous...

 

[horsemen61]

Love the pics guys

Just bought my first 10mm last week. Gen 4 G20. Was hesitant, as ever glock I've every purchased, I've sold within a couple of weeks. After always feeling like my ccw (9mm) or a 1911 in 45acp just wasn't a good match for predators or black bears I started doing some research. The new grip on the glock is a world of difference and so many bullets on tap! Maybe someone a little more savvy w/ physics could explain why the recoil isn't as significant as people claim. The first magazine I ever shot packed full of the Buffalo Bore 220gr. monsters (a couple of which had already yawed at 7 yds.) I was wearing gloves as it is winter up here in VT but still the recoil seemed equivalent to a 40. I did notice the slide is a heavy one, for sure. Still a glock though which means at the very least new sights but hey when it gets dirty I won't feel bad and it'll run.

Try some full tilt 135 gr loads. Much more amusing IMO.

the corbon 150's i was running the other day were nice and hot

You lucky rascal, you got 10mm Black Talons hidden back there!!

In any case, can't wait for a range report on that bad boy!! Needs its own thread!!
Got a Chrony??

 

[agtman]

Very nice set-up, Oceanbob!

 

[greenmountains]

I was wondering about that. It seemed like the recoil from the 220gr. was more of a push, ala 1911. Are the lighter grain loads at higher velocities more of a snap, like 40s&w??

 

[agtman]

Are the lighter grain loads at higher velocities more of a snap, like 40s&w??

Having shot some very hot 135gn (factory) loads, and one pretty spicy 150gn load, the answer is "No" with the G20, because, as with the G21, the large-frame (10mm/.45-size) soaks up whatever "snappiness" might be created by these fast-moving, lighter projectiles, even at 10mm velocities.

The "snappiness" complaint about .40 autoloaders arises from the fact that it's essentially a 9mm-sized gun, and most 165gn-180gn .40 ammo duplicates low-end 10mm energy for those bullet-weights.

In other words, the .40 puts low-end 10mm energy inside a 9mm-sized platform - hence, you hear people taking about .40 guns, and not just Glocks, having a "snappy" recoil feel.

I just picked this Nighthawk commander sized 10mm yesterday. Put 300 flawless rounds through it today, I think my Glock 29sf will be going up for sale after shooting this.




I also have a Kimber Eclipse Custom II in 10mm

 

[horsemen61]

Scuba Steve that nighthawk is Gorgeous I love the way it looks

Size, composition, & weight is why the G20 feels so nice...
polymer helps ease the felt recoil...
if you add a Hogue or other rubber grip, or even take a slice of bicycle tire tube
& install it around the grip, it'll be even nicer.

Also, the shooter's size & strength levels help manage recoil...
if one does arm & hand exercises at least three days a week,
they will find that after a few short weeks, Felt Recoil is reduced...
simply due to the addition of strength in the affected areas

Also makes trigger pull feel quite different...
meaning that what is heavy to one, will feel lighter to a strong person!!

 

[horsemen61]

Scuba Steve roughly how much did you spend on that nighthawk

 

[Scuba_Steve]

^^^ $2500 from a member of another forum.

I've wanted a commander sized 1911 for a while and am very happy with it.

Here are my credentials.

 

[zeke4351]

Here is one of my 10mm guns. The other is a S&W 1076 Kentucky State Police issue. There is a lot of 10 mm ammo to choose from as you can see from the chart.

 

[NorthGeorgiaHunter]

There are some fine pistols on this thread! I have an older (gen 2) Glock 20 that I love. I tried a Lone Wolf 6 inch barrel, but it will not cycle reliably. It will only cycle Silvertips.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

Just change the recoil spring!

 

[horsemen61]

Alrighty guys it's been a little while here is why I love glock so much it breaks down so easy my best friends girl wanted to see how fast I could get it apart I'm at 5 seconds

 

[horsemen61]

Alright guys it's been a while so here is a pic of my gen three sf my best friends girl wanted to see how fast I could take it apart 5 seconds to field strip it

 

[LMLarsen]

Aww, the bullets all fell out!

 

[horsemen61]

Ehh I kinda pulled em out before hand
