10mm opinions and reviews...

[John Moses Browning]

So, there are a couple new compact 10's from Springfield and Smith. Of course, you also have the Glock 29. I am considering all for adoption but would like to know what everyone thinks. Which one do you like if any? Do you have another model in 10 you like better?

I'll hang up and listen.

I have a Smith 1006 and Glock 20 both full size that I like real well! 10 mm is a good caliber with a lot of great factory loads for hunting, self defense and target shooting!

Do you have the G20 or G20SF? I have not held both and wondering how much slimmer the frame is.

You could go with g20 gen 4 or 5 with the changeable back straps

I have the gen 2 g 20. It fits my hand well and as plus holds 15 rounds +1 in pipe! Only gen 2 gun I own, it was a shooting buddys who passed with cancer 7 years ago and I bought it from his daughters.

For what it's worth I'll jump on the G20 train. Very controllable even with "Bear Loads". I've heard of folks that like their 1911's chambered in 10mm but have no first hand experience. My 2 cents.

I love 10mm and use it for bear defense in Alaska.

1. 1911 (Colt Delta/Springfield Ronin) is nice to have but is heavy and recoil is heavy (more than the Glock 20)
2. Glock 20 Gen 4 , great gun for when out in the bush. Reliable and easy maintence, finish is a little weak.
3. Glock 29 Gen 4, great gun for in town bears and 2 legs.
4. Springfield XDM 10mm - It was cool but I didn't like the ergo's to each their own.
5. Smith M&P 2.0 - Nice ergo's small package. I haven't shot mine but I'm invested. The grip is really aggressive but is easily remedied.
6. S&W 610 4" 10mm revolver - I like it between 357mag and 44mag recoil, much more managable than 44mag.

I believer the current gen Glock is SF - I have one and love it. It shoots the Underwood extreme ammo well and is very easy to control. Carried it in Wyoming last year via a chest holster.

10mm is waaaaaaaaaay over-rated, and that is if you buy full 10mm loads or roll your own. If you buy ammo off the shelf at Academy or the likes, it is a joke of a cartridge.

So to answer the question about which gun to purchase, it really doesn't matter.
