10MM out of a rifle barrell has got too be going pretty fast, and if money is no object thats what i would get but if cost of ammo was a big deal I would go with the tried and true all american .45 auto.

I *love* the 10mm, but I couldn't afford to shoot it in carbine quantities even though I reload.
Therefore I'd get the .45, or even better, the 9mm. You can shoot a LOT more 9mm for the same money. -Troy |

10mm out of a carbine barrel has some impressive energy. it is a much higher pressure load than the .45, so it will take more advantage of the longer barrel. the 10 will also shoot quite a bit flatter due to the higher velocity. if you have ever tried to shoot further than 100 yards with a .45 you will know it has some substantial drop. both are good. i'd go with the 10, especially if you reload. -Spaceman |

Go with the 10mm.
11" barrel and 10mm 135 grn. @ 1700 ft/s = about 900 ft. lbs. of energy. |
