10mm is a GREAT round.
if they did not dumb it down and come up with a the 40 Short&Weak. it would be a lot more common and popular.
“It’s too much gun… it hurts, boohoohoooo”😫
I have one of each. They're both solid rounds and each has its place. I was an early adopter of the 10, getting an early Colt Delta Elite I still cherish to this day. At the time it was unlike anything I'd ever shot before. I was used to the slow, rolling recoil of the .45 ACP, it's softball trajectory and with steel targets, the perceptible lapse between "bang" and "ping." The 10mm seemed like a laser blaster by comparison.
After leaving the Army, I was on a private sector security team that mandated .40 (it was the LE go to round at the time). Back then, CZ still made the CZ75BD in .40 and that's what I opted for. It's still my favorite sidearm and excels in reliability, accuracy, and (for me) ergonomics; with CZ stippled walnut grips, it even looks good. A little heavy for EDC, but for my back country camping or other open carry situations, it's my go to, and probably will be 'til the end of my days.
The pussies at the FBI get the thanks for that!
