Welcome Rusty from another Colorado 10mm fan.

I like this round and the XP concept all around. I recently wrote Lehigh Defense suggesting this style of projectile but in the form of a 12 GA slug... but I digress.

I am a firm believer that the application determines the tool to be used. I have several options for ccw but one of them is the G20 with these XPs.

When I am out riding the Harley in the middle of nowhere, it feels good to have the 10mmXPs by your side. You never know what you will come up on out there, human, animal or mechanical (I've had A-holes try to run me off the road.) and there is no civilization near you.  The versatility of this round to penetrate far and do some degree damage along the way makes this an appealing ride companion for exploring the long, high roads of the Colorado Rockies.

Yes, that's the one. Eventually that will be added to this one.

For now, with the G20 and the lone wolf 6.61" barrel, I have enough to keep me busy.

Thank you The_Shadow.

Yes, I am quite hooked on the ten. That was the shortest time I have ever experienced between the start of research on the cartridge to purchased firearm.

Of course, I'm already eye-ing that carbine conversion kit.

Hello fellow 10-mil fans.

My name is Louie. I am 42 and live in Golden, Colorado where I ride my HD-Fat Bob though the mountains and find cool places to shoot and spend time with good people. I am also a 5 year NRA member which will renew to life member soon. By day I am a software systems engineer and by night I am tired and ready for bed. During the winter when I am not shooting or riding, I spend my time researching rounds, ballistic performance tests and other gun related media because it is better than the crap on TV.

I was a tow-gunner in the Army down in Benning for a short time when I was younger but I have been into small arms since i was roughly 13. By now I own several pieces of fire and lead spitting hardware and look forward to many more.

The 10mm was a caliber which for years I did not care for and that is the way it was until just a short time ago. A friend asked me what would be a good handgun to carry while backpacking and hiking here in the Colorado Rockies. I couldn't answer immediately because he was looking for an auto-loader and not a wheelgun. That is when I started seriously looking at the 10mm and I just fell in love with it. 

Just yesterday I picked up my first Glock which is also my first 10mm. I had the Lone Wolf 6.61" threaded aftermarket barrel and flash hider for it as well as Underwood ammo ready a week before I actually went out and purchased the G20.

Needless to say I couldn't be happier with my new 10.
