Introductions

Just checked, the MSRP is a bit higher than the Nitro ($500-$1500 higher.) I couldn't pay that since I just bought a few other toys, too. That's a beautiful gun I've never seen before, though. Haven't heard anything bad about Fusion, how do you like it?

Howdy, found about about this excellent forum through a post on GlockTalk and couldn't wait to join up. As my screen name implies, I've been a 10mm shooter, amongst other calibers, for about 20 years. I'm 65 years old, been shooting and reloading since the early '70s. Right now my 10mm accumulation includes a blue 1991 Colt Delta Elite Gold Cup, a gen 2 G-20 with a Bar-Sto bbl, and a gen 4 G-29. i am strictly a target shooter and I also enjoy riding bicycles on the road, and on singletrack trails. Strum a guitar for my own pleasure and active in my church. That's about it, glad to be here.

I started out 10mm with the S&W1006 w/adj sights early 1990 and then the addiction took over...filling out the S&W 10xx series of which I have 2 of the 1086's, Glock 29 and Glock 20SF as well as the Bren Ten Standard Model. Looking for the next!

Best regards!

Hello

(About me)
I am from Northern California San Francisco Bay Area. I like the idea of gun and/or caliber specific forums. It is easier to find the info on a specific subject and there is usually more info on a specific subject. I am not stuck on any specific caliber, type, model, or brand of gun. I like all guns.

(How I acquired a 10mm)
  I had been interested in a Glock 20 on and off for a while. I really didn't want another caliber because I reload 98% of the ammo I shoot and I didn't want to buy another set of dies and shell plates for a new caliber, but since I recently got a Beretta 96 (40S&W) and ended up buying 40S&W dies anyways, the 10mm started to look like an option.
  I have large hands and like the feel of the large frame Glocks as opposed to the Short Frame (SF) versions. There was a rumor going around that Glock plans on discontinuing the standard large frame Glocks, and will continue to offer the guns in the SF and Gen 4 versions. Since I am in California and we can't get Gen 4 guns through normal gun stores, I thought I should buy a large frame Gen 3 as soon as possible. The gun store was selling a Glock 21 (45 ACP) for $35 less than a Glock 20. Since my money tree got shopped down, I decided to get the G21, and then buy a 10mm slide and barrel at a later time when I had the money. Another reason why I got the 45ACP over the 10mm was that I have thousands of rounds of 45 ammo and I also wanted to convert the G21 in 460 Rowland. A month after I got the G21 someone on another gun board was selling a new G21 complete top end for $200, so I bought it (I think they converted their G20 to a long-slide hunting gun).
Now I have my 10mm. I have not had a chance to shoot it yet. I want to try it out on some real factory 10mm ammo, and not watered-down 10mm like PPU sells. Underwood hasn't had any available for a while. I was able to buy 200 pieces of Starline nickle plated brass from Midway, so I have something to reload and shoot, but I want to compare them to factory loads to know if mine are too hot or too wimpy.

The 10mm will be interesting. I think I will carry it for bear defense in the woods over my 2" 41 mag. Fifteen 10mm is better than five 41 magnums.
