cnote Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Had a discussion about the round and perceived recoil. Would a plastic fantastic absorb the recoil with flex better than a heavy all steal pistol where weight is king What would be your choice if factory 10 mm was the only round available to you ??

Intercooler2 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I think I have owned most all the Steel ones, but only one EAA Polymer version. I like my Steel for this task! I'm waiting on the Grand Power 10mm Polymer to come in and I can give you thoughts on it then. In reality a 6" Steel longslide is what 10mm's are all about!

valerko Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) So, what exactly is 10mm good for ? I understand self Defence ,hunting ...,but in competition? What can it do that .40 can't ? Edited February 15, 2016 by valerko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneelingatlas Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I've only ever shot two 10mms: 5" 1911 and 6" Tanfo, I prefer the Tanfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercooler2 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 In competitions? No advantage I know of and might be a pinch more expensive to reload for. If you are talking self defense it doesn't have a huge advantage over any of the other service calibers. It will deliver the payload at longer distances given the extra case capacity. Now as for woods carry or hunting it spanks the other calibers pretty hard in that area. You will not get a 220gr Hardcast moving out at 1200+ FPS out of them!

cnote Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 So plastic for self defense in home and/or woods as a back up would be plesent to carry , but painfull to shoot versus steal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercooler2 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Not really. I have four 10mm's and will be adding a fifth 4.25" Grand Power here soon. The 4.25" would be to carry, but nothing wrong with the EAA Limited Pro 4.75" for that honor either! The EAA Hunter 6" would be fine in a chest or thigh holster for Hunting/Woods.

Kosh75287 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 It's "steel", not "steal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
