Not sure I agree on the 10mm. It significantly outperforms the .45acp and the 9mm when properly loaded. It did fall by the wayside for a while, but there are a lot more models currently offered, and it's easier now to find factory loads on the shelf. The odd thing is that most of those loads I'm seeing locally are still 10mm Lite.
I didn't find the 10mm to significantly out perform 45ACP +P.
I'm not talking about paper ballistics, I'm talking about depth of penetration and wound chanel size. The 45 Super clearly has the upper hand in actual field use from my experience
Yes, absolutely. But I thought we were talking about 45acp+p.
Don't be confused about my point. The real world does not effect sales as much as common perception. The OP's question relates to sales, not actual performance. It's a mistake to assume that sales are always directly proportional to real world performance. If the proper 10mm (not lite) looks significantly better on paper than 45acp+p (and it does, IMO), sales of 10mm handguns are likely to increase or at least hold steady. 45 Super is without question even more powerful, but factory handguns ready to use it without trepidation are in short supply.
