I like objective facts. But until I see data I can't accept this statment as fact.
The data has already been provided, which you can confirm or deny if you aren't lazy. Well, let's see. 5 years ago was 1999. The Delta was already gone 3 years, and the S&W autos were gone too. Basically all you had for a factory guns were the Glock 20, 20C and 29. No 1911s from any major (or even minor) maker.
2004, add the Witness, Witness Compact, Witness Hunter, DW Razorback and Pointman Major, Kimber Stainless Target II, et. al., and keep the same Glock line. I don't know if the 610 was made in 1999, but it was re-introduced by S&W and is still listed as available.
Add Texas Ammo and Double Tap, and added loads from Pro Load (135gr Nosler) and Cor-Bon (135gr P-ball). CCI/Speer, Remington, Winchester, and Federal still sell 10mm ammo, too.
As for ammo we lost Triton and picked up this new small Double Tap company. Net sum equal at best unitl you consider that Double Tap is more of a small scale reloading firm than a full fledged ammo company.
The
entire Triton company crapped out... does that count against .45 ACP, .40 S&W and .357 Sig, too?
Triton had 1 10mm load. DT has 10.
