Anyone her carry a Glock G29?
10mm is a waste of money unless you're a handgun hunter. And even then the modern 10mm loadings are barely greater then the .40 caliber so unless you hand load 10mm to the original specification you're basically shooting .40 +p and the original 10mm loadings would cause extreme wear on your pistol.... So no I do not own a 10mm nor would I recommend it. If you want that bullet choose .40 S&W if you want a more powerful cartridge I'd get a revolver in .41 or .44 magnum...
i disagree i used to carry a 10 but lack then/now of ammo put me into 45 acp
Please show me the 40SW load that matches?

As for excessive wear heavier springs can negate much of that. But it's not like you're going to be shooting this load all day punching paper..

Been shooting 10mm since 1990......
But, I would say if you don't already have a quality 10mm don't get one if you have a quality gun chambered in 45acp... as they can be converted to 400corbon/40super/ or 45super ( simple spring swaps most of the time) or my personal favorite 460Rowland

I did cite modern loading charts, if you note in my post the terms 10mm and .40 are hyperlinked to charts.
Yes 10mm CAN be far more powerful, but few commercial manufacturers load to the original loading, most load to the FBI lite loadings. I'm not convinced a 10mm pistol would stand up to repeated use with a full power loading. Kind of like the smith k frame .357s where S&W told departments to only use .357 for carry and duty qualification and shoot .38 special for all other times. They could only take so much of that full loading...

I hope you carry nothing but hi points, because anything else is just a waste of money.
