The 10mm was the right cartridge, introduced in the wrong pistol ... then the FBI caved in to the pansies, and we've been saddled with the .40SW ever since. It's not a bad cartridge, but the full length, full power 10mm is better. It would also make a dandy carbine cartridge; IMO more suited to that purpose than the 9mm, .45ACP, or .40SW.
I have a 10mm, a .40, and a .357 Sig (in a Glock and a Sig). I prefer the .357 over all of them.
That 10mm is one hell of a caliber.
At a gun show a couple of weeks ago I saw a 5 - 7 pistol of some sort. The seller told me that its bullets went through anything, body armor, walls, people. Anybody know if that’s true?
Why was that gun made?

I have read that the 10mm is even more destructive to the weapon than the .40 S&W is. All I can say is my Sig 229 .40 doesn’t seem to be affected by the round it fires.
Half the FBI and cops can not shoot the 10mm for crap as it’s over powered. Most of them can’t shoot a 9mm very well. I shoot next to them every month and it’s so sad that I can not believe it. They all think I’m a old cop or Fed as this would account for the good marksmanship. I tell them I was trained a long time ago in a land far far away.
