If you like your 10mm fine. I own one too a 610 Smith. But I know what the 10mm is and is not. [/QUOTE
It doesn't appear that way by your posts. And Doubletap is available to you. Call them or order over the net. Or from Proload, Texas ammo and Georgia to name a few full power loads makers.
(from agtman) A power parity? Let's get serious. Anyone who can read can see that the 10mm has a HUGE power advantage over the .45acp, with an energy range running from mild .40-level loads all the way up to the nuclear zone which no .45acp +P load can touch without blowing up the gun and the shooter. Doing a simple Search here or on GlockTalk's 10Ring will provide the relevant stats confirming this.
The Portland incident is a fine example of poor quality control.
Defensive ammo that blows up your gun is a bad thing, no matter who makes it.
I am sorry you can't see that without getting all emotional on me.
You buy what you want, I will buy what I want.
I still carry Federal and Winchester ammo in various weapons.
Unlike you, I won't belittle people for their ammo choices.
No ones quality control is perfect. Accidents are going to happen. But anyone who argues a .45acp is anywhere near a 10mm is just nuts. But in real world close combat at 5 ft I really don't think your going to have to worry about bullet drop to much & if you want to buy 10mm ammo cheap try Less than 13 bucks for a box of 50
From what I've seen of your posts on this subject (but not necessaily in this thread), the folks at DoubleTap might disagree.I never belitted anyone.
See, this is where you lose me. You didn't say this. In this thread, you initially said, "The 10mm offers little in power over a +p 45 auto load. Its ammo is scarce and less and less guns are being made for it." I'm sorry, but that is NOT an expression of why you don't and won't carry certain ammo.I simply expressed why I don't and will not carry certain ammunition.
