I'm sort of in the same boat as you and am seriously considering a 10mm. The big wheelguns are cool and all but their weight is a huge downer IMO.


Weigh a 329PD... 300 or 270 hard cast with stiff loads aren't easy to handle but they are sure not impossible.

I just hate to pack around a 5 pound pistol like some of the big ones seem to be. I'll take a short rifle everytime over something like a redhawk or such.

I have not taken a 10mm glock yet, but I think I could consider that.
