Let's say you have to choose between a 10mm pistol (max capacity is actual standard capacity or 15+1, whichever is lower) or a 9mm pistol (max capacity is actual standard capacity or 16+1, whichever is lower).

You have an unlimited supply of the pistol's ammo. All accessories available for one pistol, are available for the other pistol.

Assuming you can only have this one pistol (and unlimited replacements of said pistol) which do you choose?

ETA: And what's the pistol of your choosing?

So basically you are asking if someone prefers 9mm or 10mm and which pistol they prefer for said caliber.

9mm M&P



Faster follow up shots. I put my money in multiple hits on target rather then a 1 shot stop. YMMV

Delta Gold Cup for me.  



I had one and sold it when financial difficulties cropped up many years ago.  I regret it, for me that's the one that got away.  I WILL have another however.

HK MP-5 in 10mm is my first choice.  If you're good, you can reach out to 275 yards with it.  OK, it if had to be a pistol, I'll take the hand grenade in 10 mm.  I want something that will give me a chance against wild game like the dreaded killer rabbit.

You can double them with a 9, but you don't have to with the 10.

Easy.

You took all the disadvantages of the 10mm away.  

The 10mm is good for anything social, as well as in the woods.  The 9mm is not.  

The 10mm is harder to find ammo for, parts for, and such.  But since you are saying that isn't a valid problem.........10mm if you can only have 1 gun, simply because the cartridge is capable of more.

If ammo is unlimited then a 10mm is the answer!

If the choice is between 9mm and 10mm the answer is always 10mm!

Glock G20 is the weapon of choice.

10mm is too much for most people to be accurate.  .40 is bad enough.

I'll vote 9mm.

10mm loaded to the FBI training specs is easy to handle.  





10mm loaded to buffalo bore specs will knock badguys, or large animals dicks in the dirt.
I don't think there's any cartridge right now that's as flexible for semi-auto's.  135-220 grain, from 900-2300(wildcat round) FPS.

That's easy with those stipulations, 10mm.  I have a Dan Wesson 10mm 1911, Glock 29, and Colt Delta Elite.

Although I do use 9mm for full auto, and for my girlfriend's gun

If you are trying to kill something that will kill you with no weapon...10mm

If you are after capacity and 2 leg critters... 10mm
