I've been looking at getting a 10mm pistol lately, and I'm having a A hard time find out which pistol or pistols can handle a steady diet of the hottest loads without wearing down too fast.
Unless basically every new 10mm is equally capable? If that's so than good, but I imagine there's a gun or two that stand up to the abuse better.
Thanks for any thoughts, information!

The Ruger Super Redhawk will undoubtably be the strongest followed by their Blackhawk and then GP-100. As far as autos go I have fired a crap load of Doubletao 200 gr hardcast at 1300 FPS in a Glock 20 and 29, Sig 1911, Colt Delta Elite, DW CBOB and S&W 610 with no ill effects on any of them. I am currently playing with a Kimber Camp Guard and so far so good. I have not shot one but if you want to save a little money look at the Ruger 10mm 1911. I may give the new Springfield XD a look myself

Oops my bad, I was thinking autos and forgot to specify. I think if I went the revolver route I would Stick with my s&w 29. But that is interesting, the 10mm in a wheel gun.

I have been liking my 2 EAA Witnesses in 10mm, but hope to try a 1911 soon.

All of this 10mm mania is akin to the Creed hysteria.
Why would you prefer a 10mm in a wheel gun when you could have a 41 Magnum?

Glock 20 and Glock 40. Why would you prefer a 10mm in a wheel gun when you could have a 41 Magnum? Agreed. Max, that Ruger Super Redhawk is severely under used if it's chambered in 10mm! What do they proof that Super Redhawk at? 200,000 PSI?

S&W1006 or 1076 by far. Built like a brick chithouse! These are great guns, I have two, but if you have them don't shoot them a lot. Smith has zero parts them. I agree with the wheelgun comment, get a 41 mag. One of my biggest dumb gun sales was a 657 mountain gun I had, wish I still had it. Semi autos it is hard to beet the glocks, had 29 and 20, liked them both. 1911s are fine if you get a heavy coned barrel or long slide, otherwise serious frame issues can happen. My 2 cents. be safe all.

The 10mm revolver is now a must have for me. The SRH Ruger is the strongest 10mm I seen. It will handle any SAMMI spec load out there and shoot it comfortably for as long as you want. We also have a Ruger single action revolver that is very strong as well. Our 1911 10mm does a good job but it would not take the steady pounding the SRH would IMHO. The S&W 1006 would have been my choice for the strongest auto until we seen a Sig P220. It has the best case support I have ever seen in a factory barrel. The only modification I would make to it would be to put a little heavier recoil spring if you wanted to shoot a steady diet of max loads. YMMV

I appreciate all the responses, I'll have to look more into the sig. Any of them you would stay away from?

Thanks for any thoughts, information! I'd guess you're never going to find someone that has had their Smith and Glock digest thousands of full house 10mm loads to give a real comparison. But those are the two I'd start with.

I think a Super Redhawks in 10mm would be great. When they are available for closeout prices, I'm buying one. They are the modern rifle equivalent of the 760 in 222.
A good gun and a good chambering.
But a pairing that makes no pfoooking sense.
In a couple decades, they will be seriously sought after, like the 760 in 222.
Because nobody wanted a 10mm chambered artillery piece.
Whitworth, I mean no offense, and no doubt that's a fine gun. I'm sure it shoots soft.

10mm artillary piece! Where are the wheels on that pistol! I have to agree if your shooting a 40 ounce gun it aught to be something like a 44 magnum, 454 etc!

I appreciate all the responses, I'll have to look more into the sig. I have 3 10's, a Glock 20, a Delta and the Sig 220. The Sig is the heaviest and biggest in overall dimensions but it is the most accurate and I have no doubt the strongest.

A couple/few years now in different varieties.
I always did like the 220..........I really like the 220 in 10mm.

1+ on the P220. I’m a big time 1911 guy and have/had 10mms in Kimber, Dan Wesson, Fusion, Glock, STI 2011, and now Sig P220 SA/DA. I’d put the Sig ahead of any of them in terms of build and for me controllability. STI is a close 2nd but I’ve beefed it up to handle recoil better. Functionality out of the box: Glock (of course) and the Sig equal. Accuracy (for me) STI then Sig. Trigger: 1911/2011 then Sig. conceal ability: DW Bob. Safest: Sig (IMO). After market goodies 1911 by far. Case support Sig,1911s. Capacity: STI then Glock. Assembly/disassembly: SIG. Fun factor: they’re all fun.

If you must have a 10mm semi-auto, the Sig is tough to beat.........if you don't want a 1911.
