Why would I want a 10mm Auto??

[Sgt Striker]

The reason I'm asking this, is because a tonne of O.F. 10mm auto brass has fallen into my lap, and I'm pondering either selling the brass or buying a pistol for it. I already own and reload for 40SW so no need for anymore reloading "stuff".

So, are there any great advantages over the 40SW? If I was to purchase a pistol for it, it would most likely be a Glock.

It'll do anything .40 will do but significantly faster. Can your .40 push a 135gr bullet at 1800+?

Buy a Glock 20...you won't regret it.
Now that you have the brass, 10MM can be loaded to 40S&W levels...but can also be pushed to 'set your pants on fire' status!
Glock 20's, IMHO, are the most 'pleasant' platform for 10MM...1911's (Colt's, Kimbers, etc.) or Smith's (1006) are OK, but a lot 'snappier' than the Glock

10MM is much more versatile and safer when it comes to the hot stuff. I would also have to say a lot more fun than 40S&W. Personally I'm a 1911 guy so I'd recommend a Dan Wesson or a Delta Elite.

So, if I already have a Glock 21, what do I need (and how much do I need to spend) to get into the 10mm club. Just a barrel and mag?

aiwa, the answer is a 10mm barrel, 10mm magazines, and a 21# recoil spring. Those items worked for me and yes, I love the 10mm. Regards, Richard

Because MEN carry and use the 10mm AUTO

if you're not tough enough for 10mm, you can send the brass to me.

 

[rdgietz]

I think the 10mm is a good choice also... I really like the ballistics of the caliber... Im getting one when i can afford it!!!!

 

[Mikjk]

easiest way to get a magnum-like semi auto! love my 10mms!

 

[John Sukey]

Sounds like a rather thin reason to buy a gun.

You need a reason to buy a gun??

 

[Max Owner]

Either you want a 10mm or you don't.

I have one and if I ever had concealed carry I would take a 10mm. Better than a 357 magnum.

LOL I was waiting for that to pop up.

If you have a load of 10mm brass then a pair of 10mm's would be the way to go....

Yum love that Gold Cup!

So, can I convert my Glock 21 to 10mm Auto?? and if so, who here in Canada carries the parts required??

A hot 200 grain FMJ can go through 4 or 5 average men. Its good for riot control.
