I think the 10mm would have sold much better IF... After reading 155 replies, I can honestly say that the answer is that had all the 10's been 45's they would have sold much better.  MM Think of it as a 10 shot(in a 1911) .357 magnum. Arguably more power than a .357, since it makes a bigger hole. That's a pretty good reason to like it

I haven't read all this thread, but IIRC when the 10mm was introduced it came out in the Delta Elite, basically a 1911A1 framed for the 45ACP now chambered for the 10mm. There were some slide cracks in the early pistols. Also, police had some difficulty handling recoil in their service issue firearms. These problems were very detrimental to the introduction of the 10mm.
Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!!
They're all around the CampFire and everywhere.

40 Super blows the 10mm away so what's the point.The 40 Super sends a 220 grain hard cast flat point out at 1350 FPS and a 200 grain XTP 1400 FPS, a 165 grain JHP bonded at 1600 FPS. The 10 mm is still second fiddle

The Bren 10 was manufactured from 1983 to 1986 the Colt made hit the market in 1987. The Bren 10 was the pistol that the 10mm was designed for in the first place

I wonder what a Colt Match 10 goes for these days.... New & unfired? $2k+ I would bet. Delta Gold Cups are similar, and they definitely bring a premium. The Elite 10/40 I have is another rare limited edition. A year or two ago I saw one NIB at a gun show for sale by a Colt specialist. I think he was asking $4k for it. Guess I screwed up, shooting mine

I've not followed up on it, but remember reading that 10mm revolvers could be opened to a "10mm Magnum". Not sure what kind of speeds it would get, but in a longer barreled revolver or auto it would be fun. I know when I originally heard of it Starline was making brass.
