I find it too funny that S&W finds now's the time to drop a 10mm!
I suppose ammo is kinda, sorta, returning to at least being on shelves.. Albeit at a much higher price point.
A lot more first time gun owners out there, the market was pretty hot.. Although it's starting to slow down.
Smith did post the industry's first Billion Dollar year, and decided to move to Tennessee
All of that aside.. Smith's presser seen here

"The average grain weight of a 9mm bullet is around 115 grains, and the average 10mm is around 180 grains. Making the 10mm bullet 63% heavier of a round over the 9mm, that one digit millimeter difference, is really the equivalent of 63% more mass.
Now, you might also be familiar with .45 ACP, a long-standing low velocity, high powered round. Surprisingly enough, the 10mm and the .45 look an awful lot alike when you put them side by side, they?ll pack a similar punch but perform in different ways. The muzzle velocity of .45 is 840 feet per second, versus the 10mm?s 1008 feet per second."
Whoever the hell wrote that should be fired! Maybe they're thinking of .40 Short & Weak.. Even a quick glance at this list of factory loads shows that the majority of real 10mm isn't 1008fps, especially @ 180gr.. What kind of watered down b.s. are they loading up?

I'm glad a there's another one to add to the fold. I'll pick one up once I get bored with the 9x25 I just built. Probably second hand from someone who was misinformed at a local gun store, bought it, shot it twice, and needs the money for something "more manageable"
