Excellent, I hope you have a lot of fun shooting it, as well as feel proficient carrying it. We only go around once (so they say) so carry and shoot what you enjoy! As long as you are shooting you are having fun.

I love my 10mm but lets face it they are a money pit.  Ammo is expensive and your once fired brass landed in the next county.   :o

I own several 9mm pistols and that's where it is these days for ammo development and cheap training ammo.  They are easy to shoot and maintain.

I hear you Rick. Another reason to say goodbye to the 10mm. My brother got a 38sp S&W and he comes by and treat me to a session at the range. 10mm cost twice as much as the 9mm and rough to shoot.

I bought it for carry and not range fodder. Getting older is one other reason. Sure love that power though. I can always get another 10mm in the future who knows. I kept the Fenix 10mm ammo.
How powerful is 10mm? Well, see those craters on the moon?

No, I sold it.  ;D

BOOOOOOOOOOO! Because you didn't sell it to ME!
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?

Nope, but to your gripe about the ammo cost....Not if you reload them like I do. Components easy, abundant, and almost as cheap as 9mm, except hang on to your empty cases!

Well...me too!  I 'retired' my Tagfolio Witness Polymer 10 and bought another S&W M&P, this time my FIRST Wimpy9.  See

The super-reliable-and-easy-handling Tanfoglio--and lots of ammo--will be for sale soon.  E-mail me at jeffreybehr(at)cox(dot)net if you're at all interested.  I'm in Phoenix, AZ.

Sad to see you getting out of the 10mm Jeffrey, I really enjoyed your pictures of the ammo testing you used to do. 
Maybe we will see some 9mm stuff...

I can understand that Jeffrey. We can't shoot cannons forever.  :(

The PX4 I got is a sweet pistol. I replaced the recoil and hammer springs to handle +P and better trigger pull.

I also got a 20 rnd mag.  :o

If l felt the need to shoot a simpler round like a nine, l would break out my SIG P-229 with be 357SIG barrel and let fly some warp nine 124 grains.

Olgo

That's nothing compared to the 9x25 Dillon I had. Now that's a warp 9.  :o

Yep, 9's are a blast to be sure, and extremely economical, Enjoy!

Really? It can't handle +P rounds? It's loaded with Uw 9mm+P 124 XTP.

He's right, they advise against hot rounds. I've shot a few of those. Glad you like it.....but your have to pay me to take it from you lol
