When I got in the 10mm was on the down swing and the fohty on the upswing. Since I started reloading w the 10, I always figured if I accumulated enough brass I'd be good to go since the primers, projos, and powder would always be available. I think enough of us kept the faith and kept talking it up that it planted the seeds of today's resurgence. Go team! lol

Absolutely, the big thing is to keep ahead of the curve on components for reloading, you never know when a politician or a pandemic will throw a wrench into the mix

Good write-up and summary there, thanks for passing it along.

I still have my fingers crossed for someone to make a small 10mm pistol to give the G29 a run for its marketshare. My wish list would be a 4" barrel and a slim stack-and-a-half magazine allowing the grip to be better proportioned for small/mid sized hands. I'd be really happy with 8 rounds of 10mm flush fit in a package approaching the size of a Sig P365 XL.

I would buy that weapon in a heartbeat. Maybe Springfield will bring one out in the XDm 3.8 lineup. They already have it in 45acp so a 10mm shouldn't be a hard conversion.

I've heard rumors of a single stack glock along the lines of a G48...

One of the better and most comprehensive 10mm articles. Thanks Ken!

I got on board from the start and never waivered. I bought every new design that came along when I found one. That was up until about 10 years ago. Then there were so many new offerings I realized that I just can't have or even afford them all.

I'm glad consumers and manufacturers finally opened their eyes.

Yep, lots of offerings these days, hope S & W gets the hint soon
