So with Colt coming out with new revolvers, I think it's time for a new snake in 10MM/40S&W. Could be called Death Adder or Black Mamba !! Would this interest anyone ? |

No. Never understood the fascination with auto calibers in revolvers. Requires moon clips or a convoluted extractor design. If you want a 10mm revolver, buy a 41 Magnum. Life will be much simpler.
None of the auto caliber revolvers have been a resounding success in the market. It's a niche market most companies don't feel the need to fill. |

I agree that there is room for “new snake guns”. I would prefer a “Mamba” in .45 ACP if the goal is a fast shooting moonclip platform.

No way.
A handgun auto loader cartridge advantage is a semi auto compromise. Revolver cartridges are rimmed and have much more power to offer you can't reasonablely get in a autoloader without going nitch, expensive or much larger. Why go full retard? |

I have three revolvers that chamber cartridges for automatics. A Colt Model 1917, a S&W Model 1917, and a S&W Model 625 of 1988. All three are chambered in .45 ACP and a hoot to shoot. I enjoy them and like the ability to shoot .45 ACP, .45 Auto Rim, and .45 GAP out of them. Yeah, you read that right. .45 GAP.....
The .45 Auto Rim is a .45 ACP cartridge with a rimmed case. So no moon clips are needed. Additionally, the case web is thicker so you can load .45 Auto Rim a bit spicier than .45 ACP. The .45 GAP is an added bonus because I get it for cheap and having 200gr Speer Gold Dot for less than five bucks a box ain't bad. I'd like a revolver in 10mm and .40 S&W since I have a pile of both. I have my .41 Magnums, .44 Magnums, .45 Colts, .357 Magnums, and .38 Specials too. But I own guns because they put a smile on my face. I don't need a "reason" to justify them. I don't need to buy them because I have to have a "HD Gun" or a "Trunk/Truck Gun" or a "SHTF/Boogaloo Gun". I like the novelty of some designs just because of the novelty. So having a moonclip fed revolver in 10mm and .40 S&W would be nice. The Ruger GP100 Match has issues with .40 S&W and the current generation S&W Model 610 has the damn lock. So it would be nice if Colt released a gun similar to a the 610, but without the damn lock. |

I really like my old and new SW 610 pistols. Don’t know about snake guns.

For what they are going for, I think they are a great value. Eta, totally agree with your philosophy on why I own certain guns. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The only issue I have had with my GP100 10mm is shooting .40 with the Ruger moonclips. About 1 rd out of six will not ignite. TKC moonclips have made it %100 reliable with .40.
