Your favorite 10mm?

[Bren]

Hello, I have a Witness target, S&W 1006 and a SS Kimber 1911 10mm and need about 5 more.

Whats your favorite? I'm thinking about a Commander size, a Para, a G-29, 1076, and?

I wish CZ would bite the bullet and make one.

Thanks, Bren

S&W 610 w/6.5" barrel

Shoots .40S&W and 10MM - love it!

This is a representative 25 yard target :

 

[Bren]

DOH! How can I be so stupid to leave out the 610. :banghead:

Yours is no longer made so hange on to it, THEY ARE SWEET!

I have to look at a 4" 610 every day but am kinda holding out for the rare 3" or one like yours.

Heres my first time out with the Kimber at 25 yards. Haven't tricked it out yet but it's reliable and feels great.

610s are very versatile

I mostly shoot .40S&W in my 610 for targets. I had one of the scarce 5" 610s from 1990, which was too big for my tastes in a defensive handgun and not as good a target handgun as the 6.5 incher. So, it went bye-bye.

10MM makes the long barrelled 610 a decent hunting handgun. In 10MM, I have a small stash of the hot, early Norma loads, some discontinued Federal rounds developing approx. 700 ft-lb ME, and the old standby, the Winchester STHP.

 

[Bren]

Bye bye? Damn I would have said hello.

Don't you find the 10mm more accurate though? I'd be loading for that baby. So far my 1911 likes the Cor bon 150gr and 175 Silver tips best but even Blazer 200gr TMJ shoots pretty accurate.

Thanks for the info and the reminder. Bren

 

[deuce20]

The 5" 610 balances well, I just didn't have much use for it which made it "expendable".

Inside 50 yards I don't see much difference in accuracy between .40S&W and 10MM. I find the 10MM to be flatter shooting further out, say between 50-100 yards.

1) Delta Elite

3) G29

Dan Wesson RZ10. I now own 2 of them and cant believe they are not more popular. Great pistols.

 

[Coronach]

Glock G20

 

[Fed168]

1076 and a G20.

 

[Rich357]

Since I've only shot the Glock 20 and 29, my favorite is the G20 followed closely by the G29.

Kimber makes a 10mm? Great, just when I was saving up for an AR-15, too.


The hard decisions always occur once I have the money.

 

[Mr. Chitlin]

My first and only one, right now. Bought it for myself on my 45th birthday back in May.

Mr. Chitlin,

Have you had a chance to run it through the paces yet? I've been closely eyeing the G20 but have heard of malufunctions (in many models) attributed to an "inherent inclination" of the 10mm to cause feed problems due to its long straight case.

Any problems from yours?

 

[agtman]

Favorite 10mms:


In no particular order:

* G-20 (which has never had ANY feeding problems, whether due to some mystical "inherent inclination" of the 10mm case or anything else);

* S&W 1076;

* S&W 1006 (w/ some minimalist custom work);

* S&W 610 (1st Gen w/ 6.5 barrel and fluted cylinder; very accurate, but not shot much);

* And, of course, this one:

Colt Delta Elite (as customized by Vic Tibbets).

Delta Elite #1
Glock 29 #2

I have a Razorback that was sent Friday, should have it Monday/Tuesday.

Also have a Para Ordnance P16-40 LTD that I will be converting to 10mm.

Once I get them I will see where they fall on the favorite scale.

I just added a second Delta in Blue, my other is Stainless.

As for future 10's, i really want to add a 1076 or 1066.

 

[denfoote]

My favorite?? Glock 29!!!

C'mon Bren you know that "Resistance is futile!! You will be assimilated!!!"
Buy the Glock!!

Listen to smarter people next time.

 

[Snowdog]

Listen to smarter people next time.

Though that would normally be an excellent rule-of-thumb, I've heard this from people I respect. With me, respect is something earned, thus the reason the comments weren't brushed aside.

I've always liked the idea a G20 and 175gr Silvertips, but have had my share of lemons (a couple of which these same fellows warned me about).
I've got time to research further anyway, there's an AR-15 out there that needs a home.

In order of preference....

G29 unholy power in a package that is comfortable to shoot

G20 very nice, just bigger than the G29

S&W1076 throws brass too far, grip doesn't suit me and is a
"crunchenticker"

Snowdog....
The 10mm feeds just fine. Both Glocks flawless with reloads from approx 800fps to 1200+fps with same springing. Only glitch I've created is with old brass from sloppier G29 chamber shot in the KKM match chamber barrel on my G20. Usually the 22# spring swages it in, but the worst won't chamber. Time for another thousand from Starline.

My favorite? The Glock 20. Why? It's the only one I've got that is 10 mm. Now, if I had it my way, an MP-5 in 10mm. Ideal weapon for the French-Indian War.

 

[Bren]

agtman, Victor tibbets is AWSOME and has the best logo I've ever seen. Very sweet! Is that the one in his gallery?

A buddy has a G-20 and it feeds just fine but slightly bulges brass which would make me nervous with hot loads. Don't know if they all do that.

denfoote, it IS hard to resist the size of the G-29!

Anyone have a Commander in 10mm? Thanks, Bren
