I don't even think hot 10mm loads have that much recoil.

I think 10mm would be an excellent choice for exactly that reason......well what I mean to say, it could be loaded really hot for operators on the fringes and standard for regular carry.

I also am of the belief one well place 10mm is going to do significantly more harm than a 9mm

100% agree.

Having been through the academy, run the police qualifier with a class of cadets and in the field, I can tell you this is already a real challenge for a majority of officers using 9mm.  This is keeping shots on an 11X17 square at no further than 25 yards.  And those shots are with two hands and a barricade to use as a rest.  Over half the shots as I recall are at less than 12 feet.

I am just saying, based on my experience, and the evidence of accuracy and effectiveness in real police shootings, the 10mm is too much for their level of training.  Either we have to up the training and requirements or make it easier to achieve them.  Unfortunately, we are lowering the bar.

I was hoping Colt might make more than just the Delta Elite and maybe add a 10mm back to the Gold Cup line.  Oh well.

My buddy is wishing for a Delta Gold Cup as well.

Had the DGC years ago in 10 mm.   worst pistol I ever owned.

Big fan of the Glock 20 here.

I agree the 10 is in a much better place now that even 20 years ago. I think the greater selection of ammo (especially Underwood) has a lot to do with it.

Unfortunately, 2 years ago the 10mm was removed from the approved calibers list for my old Office.

I purchased my first 10mm right before Christmas (G29sf) and my arms dealer who is a Glock freak (owns near 30 of them) asked me why I chose the 10mm. I explained how versatile the round was and how when loaded hot was basically a high capacity 357mag with less recoil. I could tell he was intrigued but not totally sold. I saw him just the other day and he made a point to mention how 10mm specifically G29's are selling like hot cakes!

I was so happy to hear this! The 10mm just might be starting to finally go mainstream. I hope!

Glad to hear the 10mm is making a recovery. I recently purchased one so this interests me greatly.

I'm a little late to the 10mm party but glad I finally bought into it.

My dealer had a case of the Federal 180 bonded... I almost grabbed a couple boxes, but figured my $$ was better spent on the projectiles to load my own so I did not buy them.

with the FBI choosing the 9mm 147grain bullet they are going to completely phase out all the 10 mm still left in some of the agents hands... This includes the 10Mm MP 5....although they were almost ready to phase all of them out anyway.they shoot the FBI 10mm special load..Sissies.

How many PD's have adopted the .44 Magnum?  Yet it manages to be a perennial best seller! How many PD's are currently supporting the .357 Magnum?  .41 Magnum?  .500 Magnum?
The FACT is, these rounds retain a loyal following OUTSIDE of any "po-leece" contracts!

The .44 Magnum has NEVER needed po-leece support to thrive and neither does the 10mm!  It's time people stopped considering, or expecting some official police agency support to make the 10mm viable...it's NEVER going to happen, but what WILL happen...what HAS happened, is a generation raised on autoloading pistols has "rediscovered" the FULL POWER 10mm as an adjunct and possible replacement to the .357 Magnum and.44 Magnum in the hunting field...and yes, even the self defense field.
The current popularity of the 10mm owes NOTHING to "cop land" and EVERYTHING to "sporting land"!

I bet, if you Resurrected Elmer Keith, handed him a 10mm and told him to shoot an Elk at 600 yards, and he did so, the manufacturers could not keep up with the sudden demand for 10mm  :P

That is no joke.

Elmer would probably laugh at our 10s and pick up his Ole 44 and go bout his day!
