Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 10mm owners/fans - your fave out the box?

What are you running and how's it shoot? Any issues?

I own four 10's. A first run S&W M610, a Ruger Buckeye 10 / 38 WCF, a Ruger Match Champion GP100 and a Glock 40. The old Smith is my favorite. No issues with any of them but the Smith just, well, is a Smith...

G40

I use a G20, S&W 610, and a S&W 310. I like them all for what they are.

Packing, the G20 or 310 isn't much difference but the G20 holds 10 more with one in the chamber. If I'm sweating, it's raining, rough, dirty, the G20.

For an N-frame, the 310 in a Milt Sparks PMK is about as good as it gets for weight, size, and speed of reloads with a concealed carry revolver.

For targets the 6.5" 610 no doubt.....40's or 10's it's fun, easy to shoot, and very accurate.

If I was only going to have one for everything it would be the G20 along with a 40 S&W conversion barrel. The G20 is like an arranged marriage to a "good" woman....cooks, cleans, warm in bed, does everything you need but not much to look at or get you excited.....

Just started shooting 10s a few years ago...have had several...no issues but:

Glock 40/4...great gun. Soft shooting. Very accurate. Also have a .357 SIG barrel for it that is like a laser...

RIA Combat Commander size... For $500 it is just as accurate as guns costing twice as much. Excellent sights...hate the ambi-safety as it is in the way of my knuckle on the right hand.. Has been changed to a standard ambi-Colt style.

PARA-USA Elite LS Hunter...has been 100% reliable and very accurate. Was just shooting it last week with 165 Gold Dots and 200 grain hard cast..eats everything.

Kimber Stainless Target II...accurate and easy to shoot. Have several different barrels and has run 100%.

Ruger GP-100 MC...excellent shooter but does kick quite a bit with 200s... Love the sights. Decent DA pull.

Glock 20/3....beat the crap out of me...went down the road...

Glock 29/3...same as above but worse....it is also gone.

Depending on what you are going to use it for, me personally if I thinned things down it would probably be the Kimber as it can be shot as accurately as the rest and just works. That or a Dan Wesson Bruin 6" that has night sights...

I've been thinking of getting into the centimeter game for a while now, but hard to justify since I own a nice 686 and live in TN where bears aren't a threat.

Will be watching to see the consensus of the fire.
Glock 40 has my eye.

I just picked up a RIA Ultra FS last week. I'm not an experienced pistol shooter, but it goes bang every time I pull the trigger and seems very accurate.

G40 with a RMR makes a heck of a tool

I've got the exact same gun and it's a lot of gun for the money. I also own a Delta Goldcup, the most accurate semi-auto that I have. Glock G20, living in Alaska it's the all around pistol for 2 legged or 4. The G20 is lightweight, has a high-cap, reliable, and weather proof.

Glock 20 for me. All you need is an aftermarket conversion barrel (about $100.00) to shoot .40 S&W through it, which adds some inexpensive versatility to it. I bought the Lone Wolf conversion barrel for mine. Works perfectly. You use the standard 10mm mags with the .40 S&W conversion barrel. No switching out of extractor, or any part other than the barrel.

Colt Delta Elite. I tried a Glock 20 and a Glock 20C. They're both long gone.

I bought new and have used for 17 years a Kimber Stainless Target II, with a couple factory upgrades. It has been excellent.

I have four 10mm's. Two are EAA Witnesses - one stainless, one blued. The other two are 1911's, one is a RIA, the other a Kimber. I like all of these. I the past I had a Glock G20. First mag of ammo through it a case ruptured (lack of chamber support). Last Glock for me!

Damn, factory or hand loads?
What generation?

Does it function with the factory spring?

I've had an original Delta Elite for something over 30 years, I seem to be pretty fond of it.

I think I could like an XD too.

I have had Glock 20s and 29s, Colta Delta Elite, 1911s by Sig, Rock Island, Kimber, Springfield, Dan Wesson, Fusion, EAA Witness, S&W 610s of several barrel lengths, a David Clements Ruger GP-100 and probably some I have left out. The only ones I had issues with were the RIA and the Kimber. Everything else ran with everything I tried in them

I have a Glock 21 Gen 4 ,45 ACP and a Storm Lake 10 MM Barrel 6 inch.barrel for it.
Has a snappy recoil with 10mmUnderwood 180 grain Hollow Points.
Shoots fine no malfunctions even with Kriss High cap Magazines.

Nice Package with versality as I can shoot 45 acp,10mm or 40S&W and 45 super if I want to BUT feels like I am holding a 2x4 compared to my Gen 3 Glock 26.

Other than the Physical Size of the pistol the setup has a lot going for it.

With the prices of gen 3 SF police trade ins around $400, this is a hell of a setup for the coin.

I currently have a G20, gen 4. I traded an RIA Ultra FS for the Glock. I liked the RIA and it was accurate. The G20 doesnt seem to recoil any more but holds twice as many. It took a while to get used to the Glock trigger but I've grown used to it and shoot it fairly well. I've never had a bobble with the G20.

The barrel.link broke on my RIA after about 15 rounds of Underwood 220 hard cast. RIA fixed it no charge but made me doubt the reliability after that.
