Odd the revolver guys don't seem to think .357 is too much.
And therein was born the 40 Small & Weak
Is a 10mm too much for self defense?
I've yet to see anyone throw out that quote that wants to take a hit from one of them wimpy rounds. Just sayin'.And therein was born the 40 Small & Weak. Or Small and Wimpy ... whatever.
Agree that the caliber should not be a factor. A light trigger should not be a factor, reloaded ammo should not be a factor. A 30 round mag should not be a factor. The key word is should. All of these will most likely be questions that the defense will have to answer and potentially cause a distraction that may hinder your defense. So, unless you have really good answers or a lot of money, it does not make sense to add more questions that could be used against you.The Fish case was an anomaly. The judge should have charged the jury that the caliber had nothing to do with the case, and the defense attorney should have objected to the prosecutor's "opinion" about the 10mm.
You're going to get stupid people on the bench and on juries. That's the way the system works. (or, in this case, doesn't work.)
I believe the prosecutor gets the last closing argument. If he didn't mention the "uniqueness" of the 10mm until then, then the judge should have addressed that idiocy during his charge.
A .40 "short and weak" will throw that same 155 grain bullet at 1150. Does 120 fps make much difference? I think not.Glock 29 + Hornady 155 gr. XTP @ 1,278 fps / 562# KE = SD
I agree. I had a Colt Delta Elite Enhanced and it was tough to shoot with the heavy full boat loads. I also don't like the hit quality and what I see on the timer when I shoot a 10mm Glock. I suppose it just depends on how much one is willing to give up in the "fast and accurate" department.Biggest thing I'd say you need to worry about is whether you can use it effectively.
Yes, Missouri Bullet Company, buy 2,000/3,000 TCFNs, bulk price and flat rate shipping.It's not too much if you train with it. But can you afford to shoot it enough (or even find enough 10mm) to be proficient?
