Sorry, not a fan of 10mm.

I can no longer keep up with the Glock numbers except for the 17 and 19. If I got $500 for a birthdya present, I would get a full sized Glock in 10mm.

If my Daughter told me I could pick out any 10mm I wanted for my birthday, it would be a Sig P220.

At one time I owned 2 Colt Delta Elites and an Auto Ordinance 10mm. They were all 3 great guns. Seemed to kick about the same as a 1911 in .45 ACP except maybe a bit sharper.

I did note that they definitely put more care into the Auto Ordinance 10mm than they did their .45 models.

Most folks who tried the 10mm, very likely shot under powered ammo loaded to, or just over, the 40 cal strength (40 cal is also known as 10mm short).

Most off-the-shelf 10mm is crap. Few ammo manufacturers load to SAAMI spec, which makes all the difference.

If you think you've tried 10mm, try again using a full SAAMI spec load such as offered by Underwood ammo, and then you'll know 10mm.

No Springfield? I have an XD40 that I have put thousands of rounds thro. One stovepipe when new and tight. Stock trigger wasn’t bad but I installed a Powder River which is excellent. I can hit almost as well as with my target pistol. I honestly don’t know how I could improve it.

Semi-funny story; back during the great ammo shortage a few years ago I went to Academy Sports to see what ammo they had. There were boxes and boxes of 10mm and little else. I decided I would buy a 10mm pistol and a few boxes of ammo. They had no 10mm guns, just the ammo.
