imschur Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 I was thinking I wouldnt mind having a 10mm handgun. I first checked out Glock but then decided to see what else was available. I was surprised to see there wasnt many offerings from the main stream manufacturers.Is 10mm fading away? Has .40S&W won the battle?
asmurff Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 I have neither, I go from 9mm to .45acp. I've been trying to keep the different calibers of guns to a minimum for cost savings. I looked a Gallery of Guns out of curiosity and it only came up with 29 10mm(6 Glock, rest European American Armory) as opposed to 157 in .40SW.
imschur Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Posted April 5, 2011 I should have took that path. I surfed site after site to end up with Glock, EAA and a few stray 1911's
rodent.22 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 It doesn't look like the 10mm is gonna have a huge future.... :confused:
asmurff Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 How long have 10mm pistols been around? Has there ever been a standout pistol offered originally in 10mm? I'm sure being associated with the Bren 10 didn't help it's acceptance.

Microgunner Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 I believe the 10mm earned an early reputation for shaking pistols to pieces and this may have a trickle down influence to this day.
imschur Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Posted April 7, 2011 I shot a S&W 1006 when it was released. That was a hefty pistol and you knew you just sent something hot down range. Accurate combo. I miss those Gen 3 smiths
Microgunner Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 The 3rd generation S&Ws were the best they built and bring a premium in our store.
