Why did the 10mm Auto make a comeback?

Mr.Redbull was his name here I think.

10mm made a comeback because it's the only handgun cartridge that is nuclear. ${$default_shocked_smiley}$ ${$default_laugh_smiley}$ ${$default_cheesy_smiley}$ ${$default_angry_smiley}$

I've been shooting 10mm since 1990 I didn't know it needed to make a comeback.

I must be a relative newcomer then. I didn't get one till like 1995.

You have a point. But it started a bit before that. I would says it's a nice steady snowball. I mean I have at least 5 people with 10mm's now once I show them it doesn't tear your arms off leaving bloody stumps and such all the O2 out of your lungs with the thermobaric blast.

I know one thing for sure, the 10mm can not only be incredibly accurate for its intended use, be it hunting, range time, or self defense, it's just a really fun caliber to shoot

I just wish that 10mm brass didn't fly so far! or I wish it was as popular as .45 or 9mm and there was lots of brass to be picked up. ${$default_wink_smiley}$ having to buy brass for reloading really increases my ammo costs.

Lol, sure does

Can you elaborate on what Glock did to facilitate the resurgence?

I see Glock's continued supply of models chambered for 10mm as a positive for the continuation the 10mm cartridge/ammunition as an enthusiasts intro, for reasonably prices 10mm guns. Glock's model 20 Sec Gen had been in production fairly early on and the updated models and generations that followed all played a roll in sustaining our favorite cartridge. Glock 20, 29, 40 fill a good niche of the market with their platforms.

I'm not sure if Glock helped with the resurgence, but they sure helped keep it alive.

Well I take it the other way, if Glock was the only 10mm out there I would have over look it ${$default_roll_eyes_smiley}$ But Thanks to Colt and Kimber and all the other fine 1911s being made for the 10mm, thats what got me into it ${$default_smiley_smiley}$
