10mm

It's not the most comfortable gun I have owned that's for sure. I do have huge hands though. The recoil isn't bad but it was enough that I found it necessary to readjust my grip fairly often while shooting. It's kind of ironic that you are wondering about them because you got a G29 mag with your Thureon. I went through the same thing and ended up buying my first 29 shortly after Thureon came out with their first 10mm Carbine. I worked with their engineer through email to help address some of the weaknesses in the original design. Definitely one of the more interesting guns I have owned because of that.
 
I've been into shooting and reloading for the 10mm since spring of 1988 when I bought my Colt Delta Elite

I've owned several other 10mm handguns over the years Glock 20 Glock 29 Kimber and an 18 inch barrel for my Thompson center contender carbine

I only have the Glock 29 Colt delta elite and contender now

If I were to buy another 10mm handgun I would be interested in a Ruger GP 100 or a Smith and Wesson 610

I would get the cylinder reamed out to 10mm magnum

The revolvers are lame. I have them. Tames the recoil down to .... not much. I find I shoot my 44 magnum more :(
 
it sure does. while I like the control, a little more feel would be nice. yes a 10mm mag would be a fun plaything. Using starline brass?

I don't think I have ever seen any 10mm mag brass that wasn't Starline. I was pushing 200grn XTPs over 1400fps with very little load development. It's got tons of potential and I plan to get back to it one of these days...
 
It looks like Dan Wesson has canceled the 10mm Razorback as of 2019. They are relatively scarce but definitely worth considering. There were listings at Prophet River and Calgary Shooting Centre recently. Best of luck. I am also trying to get one of the 4.5" XDM's in 10mm. Unfortunately, they are not in stock anywhere in Canada and I have only seen them listed on CRAFM and RDSC.

Dont waste your time with Winchester brass. The 400 I bought are junk unless your running a plinking load..
Starliner is far better quality and taken full power loads much better.

I assume you are talking about 10mm Auto brass..? I was talking about 10mm Magnum which is a different cartridge. Winchester brass is fine IMO. Hornady is the only stuff I have ever had issues with. It tends to split lengthwise fairly often.
 
I have an STI Nitro 10 and a Delta Elite ... both great guns but the STI soaks up the recoil a bit better. Don't get me wrong, either are an awesome choice I just prefer the STI.
 

Once again, I was talking about 10mm Magnum which is not the same as 10mm Auto. I have seen dozens of different types of 10mm Auto brass over the 15 years and 50,000+ rounds of it I have fired.

10mm Magnum is a cartridge used in 10mm Auto revolvers that have had their cylinders reamed to accept the longer Magnum cartridge. It supposedly offers 2-300 fps over the Auto but I didn't make it far into experimenting with it before selling my SW 610 for a healthy profit. They were the only revolver going at the time and were about 7 years off from being reintroduced.
