That would be nuts, I couldnt say no...

Pics or it never, ever took place.

Welcome to the forum. I owned a hunter for three years|1200 rounds and I loved it.
   Still run a limited pro from eaa and it didnt take much to make it one of my favorite pistols.
I fired the Remington in its previous incarnation, and it was a riot, it did chuck brass though.

   Russ

Beauty! Just remember, it shoots like a lazer because YOU are a good shot!

   Cheers, Russ

I was under the impression my limited pro was hard chromed.
   It seems very similar to the finish on my american classic 2 which is advertised  as hard chrome.
  Inquiring minds want to know.

    Regards, Russ

The kimber is a nice pistol. It has better case support and a better trigger.
   I had an eclipse in 10mm.  I ditched it for a delta elite. I had problems with the pistol and bigger problems with Colt.
  I sold the delta elite, and bought a sr1911 target. I admit I only have 300 rounds through it but I am on the look out
for a used kimber 10mm.
     Just my opinion but I think the kimber is a nicer gun, feels smoother and any example I have checked out has a better trigger than the 2 or 3 rugers i have examined.
    I should probably save and look for a 10mm valor but I will probably end up grabbing a kimber if I see one.
  I had never seen this particular model but I am definitely curious.

  Regards, Russ

The big difference in the Grand Power is the rotating barrel locking system.

The concept of rotating barrel locking was originally patented, i believe, by JMB himself in 1897.  However, early implementations were finicky and reliability depended on lots of good lubricant.  More recent designs that use this system include the Beretta Px4 Storm and the Boberg XR9.

GP Designer Jaroslav Kuracina has a fresh look at the concept and controls the barrel rotation with a large, wide cam surface in the barrel interfacing with the top of the slide stop pin.  Other designs have typically used some kind of pin or post running in a groove milled in the barrel.  The GP's larger engagement area spreads the friction out in a way that positively impacts reliability.

Rotating barrel designs typically take more energy and longer unlock time than a tilt link system, while at the same time traveling less distance to the rear.  This reduces felt recoil and allows the designer more room in the action, or a shorter action (See the Boberg).

Additionally, the GP40-10mm has a interesting take on the thumb safety that I think I like.  Up is safe and supports condition 1 carry.  Middle is off safe and traditional SA fire, or DA/SA if the hammer is down for the first shot.  De-cocking is possible by sweeping the safety lever down, and the lever can be left down making the gun operate DAO.  As far as I know this is the only gun that allows this DAO operation mode in conjunction with condition 2 and condition 1 carry.

Shooters of the P40-10mm suggest that felt recoil is more in line with a 9mm shooting +p ammo.

The Grand Power designs have been badged by STI in the past as the GP5 and GP6.  I am not sure what lead to STI moving away from Grand Power.

The Glock vs XD is an old debate, and IMHO there is no compelling reason for someone invested in the Glock eco-system to look to the XDm.  I have an XD in my safe in 9mm and it is a great gun.  But before he arrival of the XDM 10mm, like you, I have a Glock 20 SF and a Glock 29, along with 9X25 barrels for both of them, and 15-20 magazines, including 4 that are altered to use the KRISS mag extensions making them 33 round mags.  Fully loaded out I think I could shoot 300+ rounds from my G29 before I had to re-stuff a magazine.

If I were shopping today for a polymer full size striker fired handgun as my only 10mm gun, I would very likely end up with the 4.5" XDm.

The Grand Power is the gun I would be most inclined to take a chance on right now.  I have been shopping them on Gunbroker and trying to decide how to break the news to my SO.

Great post, packed with stuff I did not know. I will have to look into the grand power in the near future.

   Thanks, Russ

So I havent been on here in awhile, really wondering what makes these and the xdm better than my old g29 and g20?
   other than a lone wolf barrel on the 29 they are stock and they shoot when I pull the trigger,
I dont currently reload and I have not noticed any brass issues except one box of 165gr hp underwoods that I honestly believe were over stuffed.
     I am itching for another 10mm but when I look at my delta elite, limited pro, and my 2 glocks I have a hard time finding a "niche' that needs filling.
      At this point, those polymer match and match pro look as fun as anything.

That is more like it, and my birthday is coming up...

I have a limited pro and it is my favorite 10mm. I think they are the way too go.

OP, it would be nice to give a heads up when you make a major edit to your original post and title.  Now that I see it is TNW and not PNW as was originally posted, it is much easier to determine what your are referencing:

http://www.tnwfirearms.com/

I don't have one and probably won't buy one, so I can't really speak to them.

Sorry for the lack of a "heads up..."  also sorry you had to make 2 posts that were absolately no help, but it Jack's up the old post count up, eh?

  Russ

I am not link savvy. There are two older threads below in this subforum. One guy was having some real feed issues, sounded like a real pain.

  Russ

Well, I shot one, it worked great,  but I am scared of all the negative feedback back in the summer.
    Have they improved on the issues people have had in the past?
We ran 12 magazines of sig and underwood through it and it never burped. I loved the recoil, it had a inexpensive simmons 22mag scope on it and I was hitting what I aimed at.
   So do I give one a whirl, or do I wait and get an AR variant? I will admit I just want a fun toy, but I don't want to have to fiddle with it to keep it running.
   Any thoughts from anyone running one currently would be welcomed.

  Thanks for your time, Russ

I let go of mine late last summer. I listed it for 1400 in Uncle Henry's and it was gone in 12 hours. The guy drove 200 miles and didn't Dicker. I would buy another in a heartbeat, that was my gate way into 10mm, 350 with 3 magazines at a pawn shop in Bangor. I had never even heard of the round when I bought it. Had no idea what I was getting into.

I have a TNW Aero Survival Pistol which I bought a stock and 16" carbine barrel to put on it. I'm in the process of trying different loads to see what shoots most accurately.

In the pistol configuration, it likes 200gr bullets the best. I'm getting groups of about 6" at 100yards. I hope the carbine barrel turns out to be as good, or better.

So, pretty trouble free operation thus far? I have read mixed reviews, this is encouraging.
