Yea, rub it in why don't ya? And CanAm has a package deal on them with 500 rds. One question, after I subtract the cost of the ammo, it puts the Glock at around $830. I paid $700 for my BNIB G17 gen 4 a while back, is the model 21 $130 more usually?

With the dollar the way it is, new Gen4's are about that (though that may not be the best price I've seen) I paid substantially less for my gently used Gen3 a little over a year ago.
Hard to wear them out, you could check the EE.
I had an authorization to carry in remote wilderness areas for 7 years had a 10mm on that permit the entire time never once would I even consider carrying an anemic 45acp.
Only 45's I would consider were 45 Colt & 454 Casull.
I reload so make whatever power level loads I want usually top velocity loads = decent ammo is not an issue...
As to the 10mm it is the most powerful standard production semi-auto cartridge available it does everything any of the other semi-auto cartidges can and everything they can't.
I agreed with what you said but I consider the ATC crowd very much a niche market....
Like you said you reload. Factory 10mm is no better then .40 so everybody keeps saying. So for the majority of the population that don't reload or have ATCs its a very Niche cartridge. There is a reason it hasn't taken off in popularity.
I would love to own one but there is no point as I don't reload. As far as ATCs are concerned id go with a 44 mag or bigger.
Here is what I carried for jumping in/out of truck or on/off quad = semi-auto 10mm for fast loading and unloading loads were 200gr Beartooth WFNGC's @ 1280fps.
For anywhere else = as far as I am concerned the ultimate remote wilderness area defense handgun is my shortened to 4.25" barreled double action Ruger Super Redhawk with Crimson Trace laser grips in 454 Casull.
In black bear country I loaded it with 300gr Hornady XTP-Mag's @ 1500fps and when in grizzly country I loaded it with 405gr hard cast WLNGC's @ 1330fps = 1 1/2 times the power of a 44 mag.

American eagle is basically a warm 40. Other typical factor loads like Remington or hornady are 180grs at about 1150 ft/sec - 200 ft/sec more than the 40. New sig ammo and Federal hunting ammo is closer to the original (180grs at 1250-1300 ft /sec)
How many inches of penetration would you guess? was it HP or FMJ?
fmj.
Shot with a .45 acp through the liver and he lived!? Where was he shot, in an operating theater at the hospital, with surgeons and surgical team on standby?
gang banger, its a true story. I thought it was bs too at first but Jimdo showed me proof that is hard to deny.
