Your favorite 10mm?

[QuarterBoreGunner]

Back when I was a wee lad of 21 back in a misty hazy '91 or so, I read a short article in one of the gun rags about the super duper new killem' all 10mm and it's adoption by the FBI in the guise of the S&W 1076.


Well of course I had to have one.

But I couldn't get the *actual* FBI model withOUT the magazine disconnect, so I settled for the 1006.

That lasted a year when in a fit of morose indecision I decided that I needed to buy groceries more than I needed the 1006.

Fast forward to 2000 when the FBI decided that the 1076 may not have been the best choice for their weak wristed agents, and suddenly the market was flooded with surplus FBI 1076s... enter Bill Hick's Distributors and my one shining chance to finally fulfill my dreams of mall ninjadom FBI tacticallity. I had my FBI 1076.

All has been roses since then.

And peace is restored to the universe. I really like the 10mm.

On the "List" for project conversions...

...is a Sig P220. Not sure if I'll spring for the ST or try to see if the alloy frame can take the stresses of the 10mm. Time and, of course, money, will make that decision for me.

The industry is beginning to come around slowly. Dan Wesson, Kimber... who might be next. I think we(the 10mm community that is) should continue to chip away at S&W for the re-introduction of the 10xx line-up or possibly a "Value line" entry. Additionally, why not a single stack and compact models from Glock. The single stack could easily be 8 or 9 rounds with a slide length intermediate to that of the G20/G29's and the same slide would then be used on the compact wide frame. Hmmm, G10/G11 anyone?

For me, eventually a full size Tan Witness will become an addition(but I WON'T even think about ever using EAA as a servicing agent!). Just can't pass up a CZ type frame in 10mm!

NordicG3K,
The collection is truly impressive and you are so in tune with the "force"(it is not the dark side, it's seeing the light[not a train at the end of you know]). You need a CCU to keep the Oly company, as it's beginning to get a complex in the land of all those pistols!

MCNETT,
Outstanding on the DoubleTap situation! Orders to be placed, of that there is no doubt.
Of course, if you tire of testing new ammo types, I'm sure there are plenty of volunteers to be available from the 10mm brethren.
