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.


AKMH, give a shout if you want to test drive a 329. Mine is not for sale, but you're welcome to shoot it.

I agree the 480 is more better, but the 329 is all I'm willing to pack.
