anybody have one of these. Read an article that border state police know when mexicans are behind a murder when they find these casings. they seem like a pretty sweet round. what are these rounds similar too? slightly bigger 357sig or a 38 special in a semi? i guess i could google this but i am curious what 10mm fans think of it. maybe i should consider this platform for my next gun.
I had one for a VERY short time....too short to load for it. When I was researching it I seem to recall reading that when it came out it was the most powerful cartridge you could get??? Might be mistaken. I know they're popular in countries where its illegal for civilians to own mil/law enforcement calibers because they're an odd ball but they still have a little power. Every one i've ever seen was some flavor of 1911. I believe they're comparable to 9mm as far as power goes. Anyway, thats my very limited knowledge of the 38 super
I have one based on a Springfield 1911. Very sweet round with more power than the 9mm. A physically longer case by a few mm and straight walled instead of tapered gives greater powder capacity.
Popular in ISPC for many years and still in use today. I use mine for short distance ~100yrd metallic silhouettes and it's awesome.
