    Yep. 10mm is gaining a little popularity too since it's a decent carry option that can be loaded hot enough for bear and bigfoot defense. If I go to the store right now I'll usually only find the pussified stuff that's nothing like original 10mm ammo. It's basically .40 with a fatter grip that I donyt like. Hopefully that's changing.

    Like grundle I'm all about the hot loads.

    I buy cheap shit for plinking, but Buffalo Bore for real potential bear work.


    10mm is such a gurlie man round. If you want to hunt totanka you need .500 S&W

    Never shot 10mm. How does full power 10mm compare to .40 from a "snappiness" standpoint?

    Yeah that's the stuff. Underwood and double tap have some good rounds too. It's just bullshit that you have to pay $1+ per round to get real 10mm in all its glory, and the practice ammo available is nothing like what you're going to carry.

    Less snappy. More of everything else. Hot loads thump. Especially in lighter guns (Glock). I have a SIG Legion 10MM that absorbs the energy well. 10MM is the shit.

    Honestly they feel about the same to me, at least within a narrow range and depending on ammo. The biggest thing for me is the grip size with double stack magazines which makes .40 a little more comfortable for me.

    My .40 carry ammo are 165 grain Winchester Ranger T, which is actually a pretty hot round (~500 ft/lb) with a really mild, push like recoil. It's not snappy like most .40 range ammo that's 100+ fps slower. I actually find the range ammo more fun.

    There was until you showed up and dropped the average to four. I’m here now so we’re back up to five. You’re welcome.

    I like the .40 as a capacity/knockdown compromise between the 9mm and .45. 10mm is good but I’m way too invested in the aforementioned calibers (and I don’t have that sweet Orkin money to throw around).

    Good defense ammo in .40 edges .45 for energy and terminal performance. It's often called a compromise, and it is in terms of capacity, but it is not a performance compromise. It beats both.

    The first six inches are always consensual.
