Ok. I wouldn't expect any stellar results as you will have less energy than a full power 45ACP.

180gr 10mm HydraShoks are rated for 1030fps out of a 4"-5" barrel.

Out of my 8" MK10 they'll be going 1100-1120 FPS. That's pushing 500 ft.lbs. ME.

That's less than stellar?

Federal Hydra-shok's are loaded to subsonic velocities last I checked.

Bingo.

Thank you!!!!!

Just curious what your intended use of these would be?

This is for a truck gun (AR pistol) that has a dedicated suppressor. I stumbled upon some 10mm FMJ subs last week and was blown away by the sound level (no ear protection needed). It literally sounds like a paintball gun.

Looks like the Hydra-Shoks will do the businesses. Should be just under the speed of sound through my 8" barrel. 

The only HPs I've been able to find in subsonic are the Hornady 200gr JHPs at 1050 fps.



Are there another other factory options for 10mm HP subs?

And no, reloading is not an option.

Don't do the Osprey. I have one. It's ok on a pistol but it definitely has drawbacks.

What don't you like about it?

Thanks for the responses everyone. I've been watching a million videos to try and get educated up on silencers the last 24 hours.

It looks like the SilencerCo Osprey 45 works with quiet a few different platforms, and also supports 10mm.

22Plinkster also used it on his 10mm Banshee and got some impressive results...

This might be the way I go for a first suppressor.

I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new CMMG MK10 10mm, and already looking at suppressor options. I've never owned a suppressor before, so this is all new to me.

I am looking for basic/intro 101 type information, and anything else that can get me started in the right direction.

From my first searches it seems like there aren't a lot of 10mm specific silencers... so should I be looking at .45 and .40SW options?

FWIW, the Banshee's 8" barrel is threaded 578x28.

Just ordered the CMMG MK10 (Banshee) 300.

Hopefully their delays aren't too bad. Sounds like this "defund the police" nonsense is wiping out inventory across the country.

The Banshee is fun! Worthless in any world you'd want to live in, but fun!

All my gen-4 Glock magazines work flawlessly, and I prefer them to the 30-round magazines because they provide a better balance to the weapon.

Hot loads will deform the brass beyond reloading, but since you're not reloading that doesn't matter.

I grease the arms of the radial blow back system, and I've not had any of the deformation some others have reported.

The Banshee is the only weapon I've ever put a laser on, and it's a splendid platform for a laser. I'd opt for a good laser and iron sights over a good holographic sight and no laser. I happened to have a good holographic sight on hand and only had to buy the laser, but given the choice I'd put the money into a laser for close quarters shooting, and iron sights for longer range shooting.

My Banshee was super-accurate with S&B 180 FMJ ammo, FWIW.

Funny aside...when I bought my Banshee I thought that it was probably the most useless but entertaining gun I'd ever coveted. I was right...it's useless, but entertaining...

Thanks for this post - it is a huge help!!

One quick question, what do you mean by the "arms" of the radial blowback. Do you mean the angled bolt lugs?

Thanks for the input.

I think I'm going to go with the Banshee. If I already had something in 300 BLK I'd probably lean towards the Rattler, but I just don't feel like adding a new caliber to the mix right now.

I'll follow up with pics once she gets here!

I've been drawn to the SBR platforms lately, and am kind of torn between the Banshee 10mm and the Sig Rattler. But I don't own anything in 300 BLK, and am not sure I want to add a new caliber to the collection, especially one that is so spendy.

The upside to the Rattler is being able to use all of my AR mags in the crossover, even though it will cost a lot more to shoot. The downside to the Banshee is that I'll need specific SMG Glock mags to run it reliably, and even then I may need to swap out the buffer now and then to make the more powerful 10mm loads run smoothly.

10mm factory range ammo can be had at fair prices, which makes the CMMG cheaper to shoot over the long term. And I have to admit, that CMMG radial delayed blowback system looks cool as all get out.

The Rattler is a piston system, whereas the Banshee is a traditional impingement and buffer/spring design.

Yes, the Sig is quite a bit more expensive out the door than the Banshee, but that's not a primary concern.

Thoughts between these two?

PS: I don't reload, and don't plan to, so please don't add it to the discussion as a decision-making factor.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

I can see 10mm becoming addictive, and I'm already eyeing a 1911... either the Ruger SR1911 or Dan Wesson Razorback. Not sure which way to go yet.

Regarding the G20, is hard cast safe in the stock barrel? There's lots of contradicting info out there. And BuffaloBore even has a page dedicated to the "hard cast myth" saying it is fine to shoot in polygonal rifled barrels. 

Thoughts?

Hi all...

I found this forum after seeing a link over on GlockTalk. And after recently purchasing a 10mm G20, I decided to sign up.

I haven't even taken her to the range yet, and already have an NDZ 20# RSA and a few boxes of factory ammo, including some bear loads.

Anyway, I look forward to chatting with you all!

PS: Here's what followed me home last weekend...
