10mm Acknowledged in American Rifleman

sqlbullet · April 10 2013 07:49:05 AM MDT

The April 2013 issue of American Rifleman has a large article on the Colt M1911 and the calibers it has been chambered in by the factory over the years.

The 10mm got a one paragraph mention with no meaningful technical details, but the large glossy photo for the title page of the article as a Delta Elite. Nice to see such prominent press for our favorite round and one of it's best platforms.

Interesting. I was just talking to a person in guns sales at the local Cabelas this weekend and he mentioned that there has been a recent surge in 10mm firearm sales. I wonder if this article may be partially responsible for the surge.

There's been a recent upsurge in ANY gun's sales, thanks to our dear Obummer!

Handloader's February Issue had an article on the 10mm with a second part to be in the March issue but I didn't find a March issue to buy... ${$default_huh_smiley}$

You didn't miss anything. The first part ended with (paraphrase) " and that gave us the 10mm". The second part basically started "And the 10mm gave us the 40 S&W, now lets talk about it for the rest of the article.

I was very disappointed.

I think I'm sensing some increase in interest in the 10mm. I think the cartridge almost died when the FBI abandoned it, and in particular, when the cartridge manufacturers were downloading it to .40S&W levels. But there are several full-spec loads available now, and I think at least a few people are starting to take notice of its awesome ballistics.

Well that means they are just finding out what us 10mm owners already KNEW! ${$default_tongue_smiley}$

If someone can scan the second part and sent it to me I'd be grateful for the efforts!

Part 2 of the Handloader "Cartridge Board" article is all about the .40 S&W... if you're still interested, I'll scan it for you. BTW... Handloader magazine is published every other month so there's no March issue.
