[QUOTE="phoneman, post: 523846, member: 541477"] Why in hell would you recommend a 10mm for a range gun? Sure they are very powerfull and cool but that just doesnt make any sense. Beside the fact that you cant get 10mm rounds just anywhere but also the price is not to friendly either. Unless you are planning on shooting Bad Guys through walls and doors or have some crazy fetish with hunting large animals with auto pistols then I really dont think the 10mm really fits. 10mm rounds used to be the designated round for the federal government but they had 1 problem with it and that was that alot of the agents could not handle shooting that round due to it having to much power. So then they decided to make a 10mm fed load wich was loaded down to tame the recoil which basically gave you a big caseing with not much powder in it making it a waste of space. Thats when they decided to cut the casing down and that was when the 40s&w was born. Dont get me wrong i love the 10mm round but it is not practical for somebody wanting a range gun or a race gun that will be shot alot. The 10mm is just to much to get really fast really accurate followups. I dont care for Glocks either for several reasons but I will probably buy a Glock 20 in the distant future just to have a 16 shot 10mm autopistol [/QUOTE]
