The 10mm will cost ya $50. There's a reason the FBI got away from the 10mm. It's not practical.

It would be interesting to know upon what data you are basing this comment and by whom you were told and their basis.  You need to remember that the FBI thought the 9 m/m was the do all, end all when they gave up the .38 Spl. until Miami, then they fumbled around with both the .45 ACP and the 10 mm before jumping on the .40 Short & Weak.  Now special units (HRT) are going to the .45 and 10.

I reload them. It's cheaper than .45 ACP! Lead is cheaper, uses same primers, and less powder. Only problem is getting fired cases to reload. In that, .45 excels since they are usually there for the scarfing up for free at the ranges I frequent. It's rare to find any 10mm laying around.

This maybe the video Rome was referring to; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmQ1E8FGc4w (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmQ1E8FGc4w)

Then this video about Black Talon history (while there are some misconceptions it is still an OK story)

The Earth was once thought to be flat  :-\ , I have 3 10s they are by far the most predictably accurate handguns I have ever owned  ;D

Chicken Little thought the sky was falling.

Delta Steve, nice analogy.  I know Rome was just trying to comment on the comments that were posted under the 1st video listed comment section.  He's a handloader and soon to be commercial loader once he's up and running.

The FBI's story with the 10mm cartridge is still affecting the some peoples thought process...however the tried and true 10mm enthusiast understand the power spectrum from mild to wild it is capable of delivering!  Deticated commercial loaders and handloaders continue to apply the WOW Factor as we know it! 8)

Like this? My Dan Wesson Razorback 10mm at 21 feet. Scary accurate.

Shadow your right I was a little tick off when he said it was not practical & than answer kind of being a smart #$& I took as him being vacuous. I gave him the 10mm story why the 40 S&W was born & 16 rounds of 10mm fire power in full power 10mm loads was to me the ultimate hand gun weapon. Hell 44 mag in 200 grain I seen slower velocities than 10mm. I guess I am not use to that kind of constructive criticism especially why he ask why would I what that over a 45apc?

Well Pittsburgh P.D. is dropping the .40 for their reasons and are intrested in the .45 and Sioux City Falls is dropping their .40 and going 9mm. Pittsburgh is not happy after officer shootings not putting perps down and that can be debated and the other seems they are not happy with recoil.WTF. Hey Steve 4102, thats my screen background at work.

Many departments are going back to 9mm's...agencies are switching back to the 9mm for several reasons.  Mostly for economics and standardization of one cartridge for the whole department.  That covers all the boys and girls in uniform recoil wise and gun sizes.  Availability of ammo also, although times are tough for them too!  ???

Yep, my .45 doesn't do this well! Target from one of my 10mm's.

can not think of a more practical firearm than a 10mm...

with swap out barrels you can shoot 10mm, 40SW, and 357 sig... shoot rounds from 125gra thru 230gr... load them up or down to whatever recoil/speed you like... also, i have heard :) that in a pinch you can use 40SW cases in a Glock 20

WellCaneman you forgot the 9x25Dillon barrel.
