Just wondering if this round has ever been created? Kind of like a bigger version of the 357 sig.
Yeah, but 10mm host guns have a higher "buy-in" and some limited options.
Yes the older small steel frame 10mm had issues with the metal from the supplier. Its been resolved.ATLDave, very true. I remembered the RIA offering shortly after I posted last.
The witness, I'm on the fence about. I know they've had issues in the past with heavy 10mm loads. They may be good to go now however.
The RIA does use a fully supported barrel which is a reason I rule out a colt delta elite.
The 38/45 seems like a poor design i dont know what the max psi was but it doesnt appear to push a .355 cal bullet any faster than a 9mm with 9mm major being hotter. I would think today you could have a 9mm/45 case with a PSI of atleast 40k if not more.
"Poor design" for WHAT?The 38/45 seems like a poor design i dont know what the max psi was but it doesnt appear to push a .355 cal bullet any faster than a 9mm with 9mm major being hotter.

Am I wrong to be somewhat skeptical a mere 45acp/super case can even hold enough powder to burn a pistol barrel, regardless of bore size? Considering what garden-variety 308 is doing at any given shot compared to any pistol size round...I'm skeptical.One major bullet manufacturer labled it the 38 stupid, something about barrel wear.
