I made the conscious decision to purchase knowing the cost of ammo

This isn't something i'm going to be carrying everyday, or shooting every weekend.

I'll probably buy 40 rounds a month until I've got around 500 in inventory, then replace what I shoot.


That's only $20-25 out of every paycheck, I can swing that

I'll probably post a vid from my first trip to the range. Several posters are curious about them

Not a bad price. 10mm is in my future.

Dust, if you want to read up a little but on them I found a great, comprehensive article that goes into a lot of detail. This guy shoots 3 different 10mm and gives FPS of lots of different rounds and how they performed in each gun.

The 10mm is a very under appreciated cartridge, but it still has a loyal cult following. Those who use the 10mm swear by it. It does everything that the 40 S&W does, but does it with more velocity, a flatter trajectory, deeper penetration, and harder impact. It also penetrates better and shoots flatter than a 45 ACP. It has more power than a 357 Magnum, and it does all this in a weapon that holds a fistful of cartridges, yet is still compact enough and light enough to carry all day.

Contrary to popular belief, the 10mm is not hard to control. I see no need for the downloaded cartridges that are on the market, commonly called “10mm Lite”. The full-powered 10mm round is not hard to control, especially in an all-steel pistol like the Smith & Wesson 1006. In that weapon, the 10mm is a real sweetheart. Also, in the Glock 20SF, the pistol causes no pain at all, even with high performance ammo. The 10mm cartridge, as loaded today by makers of premium ammunition, is better than ever. It makes a dandy hunting cartridge, and the pistols, properly outfitted with night sights or a quality laser, are very good defensive weapons for use against large animals or two-legged predators.

That's how I feel about it. My pops is a gun nut, he's probably owned 100+ guns in his time. We got to talking about pistols over the holidays and he was showing off his new ones and I asked him about the 10mm. His response, "they're bad to the bone"

I was already interested in them, but that really peaked my interest, and through more research I decided to pull the trigger today. It seems like everyone that owns one loves them, and the only con I see is the ammo price. Like I said though, it's not a pistol I'm going to pump lead through every weekend, but a great one to have in the arsenal

My Kimber loves them.

Dunno if anyone said they were hunting with them, but I haven't seen any gel shots of FMJ ball vs HP for the 10mm. I can't really decide which one to shoot, but I'd imagine that the hollow points wouldn't fly as well past 20yds and would do pretty serious damage to a deer like blowing a big hole out of the back side

The Buffalo Bore 220 grain hard cast lead bullet load was the most accurate load tested in any of these pistols, and would be a great choice where maximum penetration is required. The Buffalo Bore 180 grain JHP would most likely be my choice for use on deer and hogs, and would also serve well as a defensive load against more urban type threats, as would most any of the Buffalo Bore, Double Tap, and Cor-Bon hollowpoint loads, with the exception of the Cor-Bon 150 grain load, which is a lower-velocity load.
