What do you think about the 10mm? I've hankered after ones for years. Lately a few companies are making special runs of them. Dan Wesson made the "Razorback" for a while, they are scarce as drop-dead gorgeous 30 year old virgins in these parts, put looked interesting. Kimber is doing a Custom Target model. Supposedly you can get the Tanfoglio/EAA Witness in 10mm but I had a store try to order one and after six months got my deposit back. Glock makes 'em but I don't like Glocks (yeah, I know they are great, etc).

Anyway seems like a pretty ideal round that combines the penetration of a magnum with the frontal area of .40 in an auto pistol round.

Pretty impressive. I had a custom 10mm barrel for a Thompson Center Contender back in the Bren Ten/Colt Delta Elite days, but never went beyond that. Essentially, they offer the ballistics of a .41 magnum load in a 5-inch barrel autopistol. I've never worked with one extensively [the large frame glocks don't fit my hand real well either, or I'd still have my old Glock 21- the 9mm/.40 frame versions work better for me, but a lady friend has kind of attached herself to the last of my ugly Glock sisters, a 9mm model 17.

I was in Beirut, Lebanon in the mid 1990s and observed and handled but didn't shoot an AK 47 that had been converted to a 10mm SMG. It had apparently been a status piece for a local gang leader who'd had a Colt Delta Ten. They got him with an RPG-7 in his limo. I don't expect he had deer hunting in mind for it, and they weren't legal for that in Indiana at that time, either.
