normally like to shoot a round before deciding to buy it, however, there is no range that I'm aware of in the Ft. Lauderdale area that rents 10mm. For years now I've had an eye on the 10mm, the ballistics impress me but I try to keep my calibers to a minimum since I don't reload. Also, at 5'6" and 125 lbs. with pencil pusher hands I am a bit recoil sensitive. I have a .357 magnum (S&W 686+) and several .45 ACPs...but either the 10mm or .357 sig keep tempting me.
I'm wondering how these calibers recoil compared to 9mm and .45, especially the 10mm since it's what really has my interest. I'm about to start carrying concealed and I've decided on my newly purchased Glock 19 and my 1911s as my carry rotation, backed up by my Kel-Tec P32....but I would consider adding either a 10mm 1911 or a Glock 29 to replace one of the current choices or to augment them. I've fired a Glock 30 that my dad owns and the recoil wasn't painful at all, although it did have a lot of flip for me and my follow up shots were slow, how does the recoil of the G29 compare to that of the Glock 30? The Dan Wesson 10mm commanders have my attention too. Either model would be carried with full powered DoubleTap ammo, so assume the ammo being used is fullpower for each caliber mentioned.
Do I really need a 10mm?
