Why did the 10mm Auto make a comeback?

Just found a video of it:

Nice video
Sure looks like there's some kick to the 10 even with that platform, or could be she only weighs a buck and a quarter too.

There is a great article in the latest issue of American Rifleman about the 10mm and it's various come backs over the years.  The author seems to support the idea that this time it is here to stay, and stay in a meaningful way.

Just read it. I think he covered a lot of details I didn't know really, but didn't spend enough time on the SW 10 Series - no mention of 1006. Overall a good read but you would think he would mention this site for keeping the 10 alive!!

On the one hand...We are just a forum.

On the other hand....

We have 3,274 members at this moment.  I WAG'd three 10mm's per member, so we account for about 10,000 firearms in 10mm.  That is a pretty significant chunk of the market.

And, we are probably among the more vocal to proselyte the cartridge and it's platforms.

And we are not for profit.

Maybe they should plug us.

Thanks for the links.  I didn't realize they put all their content online.

Seems like EVERY gun mag I buy lately has something about some new maker/model of 10mm.
