That version of it doesn't, but the FBI confirmed that HP rounds pretty much make all pistol caliber rounds, magnums aside, perform about the same.

Only reason they're transitioning to 9 is because of the new environment of "must hire muh female agents" who find themselves unable to handle anything bigger than 9

Too many things going against it to ever become a popular round. The main reason being that it's too expensive. Not just the rounds, but the guns themselves. Only Glock has a reasonably priced 10mm gun. Most of the few manufacturers that offer a 10mm gun has their guns priced at numbers approaching $1000 handgun territory.

Another reason is that kind of power in a handgun is full-retard. The only real application for that much power is when you're going hunting in an areas inhabited by large dangerous animals. People that claim they have a 10mm as a carry gun belong on in the same group as the ones that carry a .44 Mag for their day-to-day life.


The funny thing is though that most of the 10mm rounds you find on the shelves are most likely the weaker FBI load which performs similarly to the .40 S&W at which point, why not just get a .40?

I have 500 rounds of .303 british in the safe, that doesnt make it any more common.

few agencies use it, only half the gun stores i go to stock it, the ones that do only have a few manufacturers, only a handful of companies produce it and every day ammo companies churn out 10 times more of just about every other handgun cartridge than 10mm

I like 10mm it has its purpose, but its not common.

It remains a niche round, but plenty of rural types seem to be warming to it as a modern replacement for their old sixguns. You keep hearing about Texans going hog hunting with their 10mm's in thick brush, and whenever I go up to Montana you almost always bump into somebody at the range who's shooting one. They swear with good bullets it'll put anything down except griz.

I'm a 9mmfag and I own a 10mm too. I like the 10mm a lot and really don't notice much more felt recoil, probably because I'm not a pussy. If 10mm gets more popular and ammo is as cheap as 9 I'll probably get more guns for it, but as it is I have the 10mm because California doesn't let me have mag capacity, so I'd rather have essentially an auto magnum.

Depends on what you're thinking, if their torso is still human you want see much of a difference. If you are thinking Ghost in the Shell style full prosthetic bodies then you would probably see a move to rounds like 5.7x28mm or possibly smaller. Larger bullets would be even more worthless and shot placement even more important vs a machine than a person.

>>
>>28404802
Shit doesn't have to be that big, if they're smart they could have them grouped closely together so they could efficiently put some kevlar/ceramic/UHMWPE around them. It wouldn't take much to have them almost completely armored against any non AP handgun ammunition or even rifle rounds if you didn't mind a bit of extra weight. If they had the boards more spread out then giving them any type of protection would end up weighing significantly more.

The point remains though: Glock is probably the only manufacturer without a decently priced and reliable 10mm handgun.

It's a rather stout cartridge for an autoloader.

How fast is 10mm and can lead bullets be safely fired in glock brand glocknades or other modern 10mm? I reload 45 semi wad cutters for my many 1911s as I am a fud, but I was under the impression glock brand using its hexagonal or octagonal rifling could not safely shoot lead for fear of lead build up and glockplosion.

No, because it has more recoil than 9mm without an verifiable increase in terminal performance. 9x19mm, .40 s&w, .45 acp, and 10mm all have nearly identical stopping power. You need to go all the way up to .357 magnum in order to get a verifiable increase in terminal performance.

10mm outperforms 9mm, and by quite a margin, the problem is that this "excessive performance" makes it a dangerous round in a self defense situation - it can be too much for casual shooters, and lethal overpenetration is a thing.

But imho 10mm should be adopted as the standard pistol/smg round for military and special operations use. Especially in Europe where generally walls aren't made of cardboard, and I've read that third world/afghan mud huts are extremely resilient to penetration.

My Witness for the record, it's a well crafted gun but it was built for 9mm. I've sent it back to EAA 3 times for new slides. Each time is 40 bucks flat fee.


Would get a 9mm slide for it but it's not worth it, if I want to shoot it I'll just shoot store bought warm .40 10mm like BRV loads

Well crafted as in the machining is nice and all the edges are rounded. It's just not really made for real 10mm loads

Does anyone has any news on the ability of the S&W 10mm revolver to handle full power loads? I mean, I was assuming it could because they generally make good stuff, I just didn't want to kaboom one if I got it.
Also

If you are talking about the 610, it shouldn't be a problem. It has the same frame design as the Magnum revolvers.


More importantly:
>10mm
>revolver

Why??? Magnum rounds are usually cheaper and easier to find and you don't have to worry about moon clips.

I was talking about the 610, thank you for the answer, that's good info to know.

As for your follow up question, the best I can say is the same reason I said before,
> being able to shoot 10mm and .40 out of the same gun without switching barrels

I figured cheap .40 was easier to come by than cheap .38 or .44 special (in non-gunstores). And sometimes I like being a special snowflake. And in my area ( the south east) the power afforded by large magnums generally passes a point of diminishing returns beyond hot .357, when it comes to handgun hunting or trail defense.

Other than the ones I marked with a *, I'm not particularly impressed. I was wrong about there being only a .1" difference though, apparently it's a .15" difference for most and a .19"-.22" Precision cartridge/Precision one loads listed that I was rather impressed by, though I could probably find some 9mm specialty 9mm loads that perform a lot closer than the Gold Dots and Winchester Ranger T/bonded hollow points that I had information about saved (pic related in this post and my next post). .45 numbers listed just for comparison purposes. Hopefully the formating on this table doesn't get screwed up.

Oops, just realized that the 10mm penetration and expansion numbers were denim tests. Here are the numbers for 9mm and .45 through denim (reordered based on penetration), which strangely enough are closer to 10mm than the bare gel numbers are and around my originally claimed .1" difference (.11"-.05" difference in expansion depending on the penetration depth for 9mm vs 10mm) with the boutique Precision cartridge and Precision one loads only expanding .17"-.2" more.

But it does. Melanin decreases density in flesh, which you should have learned in 8th grade. The decreased density is also why blacks tend to have a lower iq, as there brain is slightly less dense.

there is absolutely no reason to do that though. 9mm is just carried as a self defense handgun, if there is any risk of combat, you bring a long gun.

Thanks anon. Saved that so I can repost it any time people start making claims about 10mm stopping power. I've even found some boutique 9mm loads that expand to within .1" of those boutique 10mm loads while penetrating just as far that I can add to the list.

>>28429479
>I sure as fuck know what I'd rather have in a warzone.
The 9mm one because it would be significantly more controllable and you could pack significantly more ammo due to it being lighter and smaller? Though I'd personally take an MP7 if I wanted a subgun for that role.

>>28425346

You do understand that when it comes to defensive ammunition just about any load is going to be designed with a performance threshold in mind right?

Outside of having bullets specifically designed for high velocity you aren't going to be seeing anything crazy because over penetration is bad and controlling expansion is tricky. You get extra energy transfer with defensive 10mm and that's about it.

The potential of 10mm isn't really seen when used against people

Would you like a stupid car analogy to help you understand? The gun itself can be very well made, well machined, well fitted, heated treated, given a mirror polished blue and engraved with gold inlays. But the DESIGN wasn't meant for the forces it now has to contend with.
