I am working to migrate THR from the current cluster to a new one. I would like to get this done before the weekend, but it's unclear what the timeframe will be, as testing is still ongoing. As I am writing this the new (rebuilt) host is doing a burn-in to ensure that everything will keep running under load.
When the migration happens users will see a Cloudflare message indicatating it cannot connect to the server. This is expected, and depending on how the migration goes this may last from 30 minutes to 3 hours - I won't know more until testing the various migration options is complete and I have finalized the plan.
More information is available in this thread.
As always, thanks so much for your patience.
The only advantage the 10mm has over the 44 is higher magazine capacity. I like the 10mm, but it's not a .44 Magnum and quite honestly the two are pretty far apart in terms of ballistic capability. I'll say this, and it's probably controversial, but the 10mm really is in the same category as .40 and .45, it's a service cartridge and if loaded properly, no animal would know the difference between .40, 10mm or .45 ACP.

Agree, when you can chuck a 200 gr hard cast at 1200ish fps or a 220 gr bullet at 1150ish fps, 40s&w and 45auto look unimpressive. Granted, those would be warm loads, but that doesn't change the reality of the performance difference.
I don’t think there is ANY context where the performance can be seen as the same except when looking at use on humans in a SD situation. 10mm, 40, and 45 are probably all going to do pretty similar things when forcefully inserted in a human or human sized body, like you pointed out.In what context is this "reality of performance" seen to be the same?
That is an interesting topic. I struggle to believe that fluid medium temporary displacement is truly contributory to a permanently incapacitating wound at pistol velocities. I guess my preference for 10mm in general comes from the increased effective range the velocity of the cartridge gets you, combined with the potential bone breaking/penetrating potential that the combination of velocity and higher possible bullet mass produced. It’s a great combo for a semiauto pistol.There's no doubt that the same projectile moving 200 fps faster does different things to fluid mediums... the only question is whether those different impacts are material.

Fair point.Who said anything about permanence of incapacitation? Many, many, many fistfights have been won by as a result of one pugilist being punched in the solar plexus, even though getting the wind knocked out of you doesn't do any permanent damage.
But, yeah, whole different discussion.
Bears are big, powerful, and explosively fast. If you truly understand their speed and capabilities, there is no handgun that is going to feel adequate when you are inside 100 yards of a bear. You're going to want an RPG.
This will never be true, no matter how many times you repeat it.Not when you're using 3-4" 44 magnum barrels which still means a gun longer and heavier than a G20 with a 4.5" barrel.
That leaves the Smith & Wesson 610 4" or the Glock G20 or G29.
