I think it's pretty clear that 10mm is the best cartridge ever created. Which pistol would you choose to display its awesomeness? |

Any Glock, they are hell-bent strong. They are engineered to handle full power 10mm with aplomb. The only problem with 10mm is that the cases are expensive, and not too available as range brass for reloading. For 10mm shooters, you have to reload otherwise you will go bankrupt. |

Red, they came with the gun. It was not a big problem to me, because this gun is just for fun. I would take any advice on better mags. |

What do you guys know/think about Dan Wesson ??? I have 10mm on my 'I'm interested and starting to look around' list.

I like Glocks but don't know about the lack of chamber support in the 10mm, especially with "real" 10mm. It may never be a problem, but it just doesn't sound like a real good idea to me. That said, aftermarket barrels for Glocks are inexpensive. Not a big fan of the Witness as out-of-the-box reliability with them is hit-or-miss. The 1006 would probably be fine and a 1911 may or may not be. Wait for the Fortis?

EAA, and Glock are good for off the shelf 10mm. If you step up to full power 10mm, there seems to be a lot of reports of EAA's cracking and problems with case support in Glocks. There are several barrels for the Glocks with better case support. One option not mentioned here is the S&W 610, N framed revolver. You don't have to worry about case support, they are very accurate, reliable.

The Witness Compact is really appealing to me. I've shot a Witness in .45, and loved it. I also used to own a Baby Eagle Compact in 9mm, and loved it as well. The Glock 20 is quite a bit bigger, but it is one of the best feeling pistols I've ever shot. How common is the cracking with the Witness? Is it something I should be concerned with if I use full-power ammunition on a regular basis? |
They fixed the cracking with the Witness years ago, same for the Delta Elite. In response to the Witness magazines question, the red followers are the new ones. The black ones are the Clinton-era mags and are supposed to be horribly unreliable. I don't know why yours won't feed the last round sometimes. After the CZ-75B in 9mm I'm saving up for, I'm getting a Witness in 10mm. The store near my college not only has 10mm ammo in stock, but it's stil $15 a box.

Why would I give up 1.4 mm?
Glock says it's ok to shoot handloads and reloads now? |

Had a Glock 29 and a Glock 30...Identical except for the calibers...I would shoot them one after the other...sometimes doublefisting if I was alone and outdoors.....The Glock 29 always made me smile when I pulled the trigger...especially with DT ammo that little thing was a cannon.....but when it came time to inspect the targets the Glock 30 always came up the winner...not sure why but I was always more accurate with the 30. G29 got sold...G30 rides the hip

What he's saying is there's a 1.4mm difference between 10mm and 45...and by switching from .45 to 10mm you are giving up 1.4mm |
