I'm a wondernine guy but I really want to get into a bigger caliber for the range and possibly for carry in the future. I can't seem to decide between 10mm and .45acp. I have shot .45acp a lot and like it but I haven't shot a 10mm yet. If you could only have 1 of these 2 caliber for both range and carry, which would you pick and why?
I'm leaning towards 10mm, just because I could load it hot like a magnum cartridge and also because most 10mm pistols have a larger capacity than .45acp. But a 10mm 1911 seems to be out of my price range so I would have to get a EAA Witness 10mm. On the other hand, .45acp is very common to find and has a million different pistols chambered in it, but has lower capacity (most use single stack mags, with a few exceptions). In .45acp I'm considering a S/A mil-spec 1911, Sig 220 trade-in, and a CZ-97B.
BTW, I'm afraid that once I get my first 1911, it will start becoming a disease and I'll have to get a compact, hi-capacity, custom, etc.
