Ruger745: Where is this Sphinx 3000 in 10mm, I didn't see it at their site.
How much $ will that set you back??? Given the price of normal Sphinx guns not a little I wager. Another expensive single action gun? Just what the cartridge needs huh? I also read that the 3000 mags are going for $75 is that true?
Undoubtedly, the 10mm is the ultimate round for self-defense.
No evidence of this at all. The 10mm actually dissapointed more than it ever performed as the ultimate man stopper. Even vs 4 legged critters where it has some good success other wheel gun magnums are probably better.
If it was the "ultimate" it would be carried by far more people (including cops) than it currently is. With cops the 357 Sig and 45 GAP are actually issued, what force actually issues the 10mm?
that's why the FBI tried to adopt it in the 80's.
They did adopt it in 1990 (SW 1076) and it was Bureau issue for a little under 5 years before the Glock 40's took over.
They went with the 40 S&W since they were able to maintain a thinner grip on pistols since the 10mm can be too long for some peoples hands.
The grip on the single stack Smith 1076 is "thinner" that the grips on the Glock 23 which was the Bureaus 40 cal main gun. The 1076 is a bigger overall and much heavier gun but in the grips ???
