Obsolete?

[1911jock]

Im just looking for general opinions of the 10mm and how hard it is for you guys to find practice ammo, and defense ammo.

Its around but for how long? Seems the comercial world keeps trying to make a sale for this round to gain a common status but it keeps sinking into obscurity. Thing is what are you really trying to do with it? Its a really potent bullet and no gun built to date.........well ok a couple have........can take the punishment of say 20k rounds out of this beast. If they could build a better gun then maybe but as things are now get a 45 and convert to 400 corbon........ok thats just me on a soap box.

If you really want a 10mm then you really should get into reloading. It will likely be around for a while but not likely to ever be as affordable as say 40cal or even 357 sig.

I would describe it as endangered on the federal protection list making a slow but steady come back.

As stated its expensive so you might want to relaod this one and the real key is if a company could build a gun for it at a decent price. If you look around most guns brake from the high pressure stress this round puts out.

I would suggest that it's obsolete in the same terms as 41 Mag, 45 Colt and so many others.

I'm not going to declare the 10mm obsolete outright.
But I certainly wouldn't waste my time buying one.
