Interesting!
It's still really cool regardless.Single action revolvers in rimless cartridges give up the single biggest advantage for chambering a revolver in a rimless cartridge, the use of thick robust moonclips for fast reloads. Seems rather silly to me but I am not much of a fan of single action revolvers and a huge proponent of moonclips... YMMV.

I like the cartridge as well, and like Single Actions, so here is my 10mm Ruger Vaquero:

Couldn't agree more! A 10mm L-frame would be an wonderful revolver!I always thought it was odd that S&W used the N frame to house the 10mm ... The L frame seems to have been able to do the job ... like the GP100..
I have a 40 S&W Charter revolver... I contacted Charter about a possible 10mm in the newer Charter XL frame ( 45 Colt ,45acp , 41 mag and a
6 shot 357)
I was told that the 10mm produced to much pressure...
That’s not quite a catalog item. I’m not aware of Ruger making a Vaquero in 10mm. Did it start life as one of the .40 / 38-40 guns with reamed cylinders?I like the cartridge as well, and like Single Actions, so here is my 10mm Ruger Vaquero:

And is that a S&W rear sight?
I kind of like it.
That's pretty!! I must find one of those!!
Very cool.It started life as a bright stainless .40 S&W Vaquero commemorative made for the 150th anniversary of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. It was one of the blemished guns, so I got it for $250 (in 2000). Shooting .40 S&W in that large frame was underwhelming, so I sent it off to Alan Harton in Houston. He reamed it for 10mm, bead blasted the bright stainless that looked like nickel, and added S&W J-frame sights. I really like it now.
I’m a single action user and I see your point, the SA loading process completely defeats the advantages moonclips have.Single action revolvers in rimless cartridges give up the single biggest advantage for chambering a revolver in a rimless cartridge, the use of thick robust moonclips for fast reloads.

I agree, however I am queer for 10 mm and queer for single actions, so that Cimarron is right up my alley!
okay, I have to ask...how are you using this word? Other than the modern usage, queer means “strange” and it also means “ruined”.
Neither make much sense to me...
Thanks. Should have guessed it was a colloquialism I’d never heard before.It’s just a saying I grew up with. Meaning a “strange/odd liking “ for something.
