10mm pistol?

[theboyscout]

Thinking of a new 10mm.

personally between rock island 10mm ultra FS HC (16+1) and the Glock 40/Glock 20 with a wolf 6in barrel, but nothing set in stone.

What's your best 10mm and why?
What's your best ammo for that gun and why?

G40. Light weight for size 15 round magazine plus ability to add holo sight easily.

I only have one 10mm, a 2nd Gen G20. It's a nice enough pistol, shoots very well and has been uber reliable. I've shot mostly 155 to 200 grain hand loads, from mild to pretty hot, and can't remember a malfunction, ever. I bought the gun in 1992, the month Glock first released their 10mm.

Like most (or all) Glocks, it doesn't have much personality. I'd like to find a nice 1st gen Colt Delta Elite to replace the Glock.

I have two I would regard as best - a S&W 610 revolver with 6.5 inch barrel and a S&W 1006. Both are fantastic, accurate guns. My AMT Javelina (7") isn't far behind the two Smiths though.

I shoot 175 and 180-grain reloaded ammo exclusively through them.

I carried a Glock 21SF concealed for over a year, now I'm giving the 20SF a turn.
Using the same ammo, the 21SF has less felt recoil than a steel full size 1911, IMO and I've got both.
IME ^ a Glock 20 would produce less felt recoil than a 1911, using same ammo. (Guntest Magazine compared and said the same).
Glock 20 for me, here are my chrono results for a couple of factory loads that are not watered down nor nuclear.
Average for 5 shots, in ascending order of calculated recoil (PF)
Glock 20 SF
Corbon 150 JHP @ 1,276 fps / 542# KE / PF 191
Hornady 175 gr. Critical Duty @ 1,146 fps / 510# KE / PF 201
Hornady 155 XTP @ 1,335 fps / 614# KE / PF 207

As of late I've really been interested in the 10mm's made by tangfolio. A Colt delta elite is probably my all time favorite 10mm. Like others have said the glock is just a glock in 10mm, nothing special but very dependable. Can the new g40 use the same aftermarket barrels as the g20? I know the g41 and g30S aren't compatible with aftermarket barrels that work in the g21 and g30. Glock slimmed things down on the g41 and I'm not sure if they did the same with the g40 or not

 

[Olympus]

Custom build from Fusion Firearms and Dan Wesson Classic bobtail both in 10mm.

 

[YANKEE2500]

I have two but both started out as 40S&W models I sent the barrels to a smith who reamed them to 10mm. For the STI I bought 10mm mags and for the S&W CS40 I modified the factory mag, both are great shooters.






S&W CS40/10

I have one, as I am a fan of the HiPower/CZ-75/etc. style of pistols. The pistol is nice, however, the magazines are junk. Only got a few that reliably work and a half dozen that don't. Don't know if they have gotten that issue resolved with the new pistols as mine is a dozen years old or so. It stays in the back of the safe and if I want to shoot 10mm the G20C comes out to play. (That Glock is the only Glock I own. Not one of their fanbois.)

Supposedly they did fix the mag issue, but I don't have any in 10mm to confirm. I thought about getting a conversion for my Witness, but decided against it since it doesn't do anything extra for me.

My elite match runs great. 3,500+ through it so far. Trigger is adjustable and price is fair. They are the starting match grades. much better ones to be had . not sure where your mags came from but mine is still so tight i can just now about break a finger to get #14 in the mag. It's a Mec-Gar made for Tanfoglio from the factory.

The only Issue I had was the recoil springs are too weak for real 10mm loads. 14lb from factory!.....running a #22 now after the #18 was just not quite enough for my taste. I recommend an 18lb min. still ran 100 with all three springs and light to heavy loads. And Ive loaded some stout ones!

Ive often heard the older Rugers referred to as tanks but the S&W 1006 is a tank! good gun if you can find one!

Like the on I have ...https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog...EAA+600650+Witness+Elite+Match+14+1+10mm+4.75

 

[DownInTheDark]

Got 2 Glock 20s (3rd gen). Both have a metal guide rod with 22 lb springs.

 

[Zerodefect]

Dan Wesson or Glock 40.

You don't need the LW barrel. The stock 40 barrel is fine. I just wish the 40 had a tungsten insert in the slide or something heavy so it could be slim like a Glock 41.

The early 40 prototypes had thin slides, but every production 40 I've seen has the wide slide. Wide like the 20, 21. The 41 has a slim slide like the 17/19/23/32/34/35.

The power of the 40 needs a heavier slide.

 

[Ridgerunner665]

Yep I have a Glock 40 MOS...

It needs the big slide, no need for heavier aftermarket springs, that big slide makes the recoil much more tolerable when you're sending 200 grain bullets downrange at well over 1,200 fps....this pistol was built to fire full power 10mm.

The G40 isn't a concealed carry gun and was never meant to be...I'm not sure why they ever tried the thin slide to start with. To me, the G40 is hunting handgun for deer, hogs, black bear and such, I also plan to use it as my camping, hiking, ATVing carry peice. I much prefer faster follow up shots than thin slide aesthetics (I think the thick slide looks better anyway).

I've been working on loads the last several days...tried Longshot powder, didn't quite get where I wanted to go with it, good powder for up to 180 grain bullets probably but I want the 200 grain bullets at no less than 1,200 fps.

Accurate #9 got me there in spades...12.6 grains under a 200 XTP gets 1,216 fps and is well within Hornady listed load data...no signs of pressure at all...I went up to 13.2 grains before I found the "Glock smiles" on the brass.

[Ridgerunner665]

Glock 40 case support, factory barrel...some have more support, but this setup will be just fine with any load that is within SAAMI specs (37,500 psi).

 

[ATLDave]

I really like the Tanfoglios - particularly the ones in the Elite series. A Match with replacement fixed sights is my woods/rural carry gun.

 

[d'zaster]

I have G20SF, Colt Delta Elite and Kimber Eclipse custom. All are great (still breaking in the Kimber). With the G20, 15 round mags is serious fire power. The Colt is smooth and a tack driver.

 

[Zaydok Allen]

I've wanted a Sig Sauer P220 in 10mm since they have come out.

My Sig P220 is one of my favorite pistols. Very heavy but a lot of fun to shoot.
