Furthermore, the muzzle energy of a 10mm Auto round averages out to ft-lb, while a. One way to think about this is as such: a foot-pound is a unit of energy equal to the amount of energy required to raise a weight of one pound a distance of one foot.
So a 10mm Auto round exits the barrel with kinetic energy equal to the energy required for linear vertical displacement of pounds through a one foot distance, while a.
Generally speaking, the higher the muzzle energy, the higher the stopping power. Again, the above is for comparative information purposes only, and you should consult the exact ballistics for the particular 10mm Auto or.

Young Obi-Wan. Really outdated by now, considering new powder and boolit technology. When I was looking for a carry weapon, I first did much research on what round I wanted to carry. The 10mm was designed for the gr boolit. Do the math. Thats close to ft pounds of energy. Faster than most 9mm and much flatter shooting than a 45acp. But the thing I love is that the 40 is not bad in an all steel gun.
Glocks are light. If you are going to compromise, make it be carry weight. My Kahr is not that bad at all to shoot. Not much more so than my 9mm Glock The K40 is smaller but a bit heavier. I dont even notice the difference since I made the decision to go this route.
Not as harsh and loud as a 9mm either. It does have some muzzle flip, but all I want to say is shoot what you are confident with. All the police ammunition passes the FBI tests. And I think most people also buy ammunition which meets the FBI tests. Thus if you believe the FBI ammunition tests are a good measure of ammunition performance in real defensive use, then they are all well suited. Now, I figure that if a cartridge that passes the FBI tests is not getting the job done after using one magazine full, then either the shooter is having high-stress accuracy problems or the perp must be using superior cover which requires more penetration.
What penetrates the best? I have seen retired policemen at the range loading their magazines — alternating police HPs and FMJ bullets. One can switch magazines if the extra penetration is needed. Load it to the 45Super maximum, knowing the Starline brass can contain the same pressures as Roland produces. Of course this requires modifications to the pistol to handle both 45ACP and 45Super. This can yield Gr bullet at fps, or Gr bullet at fps. The advantage?
This is my ideal. Using any caliber ammunition which passes the FBI tests should be sufficient. That includes a test simulating shooting through a car door, and another test simulating shooting through a windshield. Yes, starting with a larger HP diameter bullet will yield an even larger diameter expanded bullet, and that makes sense that this is desirable.
That also means more recoil. In summary, instead of arguing about what is the best, keep in mind what should be adequate. If someday I live in a state which allows everyone to conceal carry — probably a Glock 19 is best.
But, since I am not concerned with concealed carry, I prefer full size pistols regardless of caliber.. I know this is a few years old but had to comment.
An all stainless handgun. I can easily handle stout rounds. Do the numbers. Nothing in the 9mm will come close. The 45 is a slow moving round. If you check it out, the dB range on the 40 is almost the lowest out there. So your ears will be in much better shape in a self defrnce situation. You cant afford to loose one of your senses in a life threatening situation. The 40 was made backwards. But if you know which ammo to buy, you can use that thick brass to your advantage. My K40 shoots flat out to yards.
Maybe further. It still has plenty of energy at that distance to ring a steel plate with much more authority than the 9mm or the It works for me because it is the biggest round that I can shoot repetitavely on targer quickly. A 10mm, not so much, and my 10mm is a heavy I love the 9mm for my pocket gun and the 45 for my night stand gun. But I am at my very best with the power and flat shooting. More police carry the.
Those fuys actually go around looking for trouble. They need a round with authority that will take down the bad guys. I have two police officers in my family. Both carry and have carried the. They say its the best round, until they need a shotgun or a rifle. Most of the discussion of the.
This round is a face-saving attempt by the FBI. The handgun history in 50 words or so: FBI issued carry gun is a 6 shot revolver. At some point the decision was made to abandon revolvers and issue auto pistols. A trial was held, that has been reported to be nothing more than a pleasantry.
They got their man, so to speak, all the perps were killed. But they died slowly, bleeding out from multiple 9mm hits. Meanwhile they returned fire wounding and killing agents. The FBI brass was aghast. One of the biggest most flagrant examples of backdoor dealing in US history transpired next. I saved 9mm for single stack carry. That is even before you get to calculating cost of earlier ageing of the guns parts. I think the column was funny but also made some good points.
I tested velocity, penetration and expansion on virtually every hollow point handgun cartridge I could find a gun designed for back in the s and s, and the. Deliberate mediocrity has never excited me much. Well, really not at all.
Finally, the. Having said all that, the improvements in propellants and bullet construction have improved the. Of course, government is now switching handgun rounds, but being government, still ignoring the superior performance of the. Then, they shortened and reintroduced it as the yawn inducing. I owned a.

He found the part in only about 3 years! Paid near what the gun cost new getting it shipped from some online place, too. I want to get a couple of pistols and carbines in. The same goes for identical bullets at different velocities. Especially when that velocity is completely unneeded to make the bullet perform to its fullest potential and may even REDUCE its effectiveness. The thing with 10mm and.
I finally cut grain truncated cone bullets all the way down to fps not just to stop the leading but to make it that much cheaper, enjoyable and easy to shoot. Lead melts at around degrees depending on how pure it is, etc. And oh by the way, you can forget that. The bullets are. So that should make you 10mm boys feel that much more foolish for bragging about. I suspect a Ruger Blackhawk in.
Which is that if you put an identical powder charge and bullet in a. Same charge of the same powder with the same bullet. Smokeless powder burn rates are pressure-dependent. The higher the pressure the faster they burn and the more pressure a charge will create. Same powder charge in a. The pressure rises faster, the burn rate increases sooner and the domino effect has a big head-start on 10mm.
Any 10mm that doubts me only has to come up with identical. The actual distance the bullets themselves travel from entering the rifling to the muzzle crown. Gotta make it fair and apples to apples as possible. Which is something else 10mm fanboys are unfamiliar with. I love the 10mm and have owned the G over 10 times.
Gorgeous gun. I love your response. I was thinking the same thing. I doubt it. Who gives a Shhhhhht? Just about anybody can pick apart a round. I said almost identical.
I could give you 5 reasons why I hate the 45 ACP or style guns. I still carry my full size 45 in a shoulder rig in the winter for local around town business. The 10mm is loaded too hot for that. The 9mm will drop you dead. I love it…. I mean how dare their be a round that can outshine the old timers 45 lol. Just like a sig is a 40 necked down with a 9mm projectile. All this arguing about 9mm vs 40 cal vs 10 mm. Man up…Get a real gun that will get the job done the first time.
Double taps? Who needs it? A hip hit leaves the leg dangling by a thread with massive blood loss. Not concealable you say? The bonus is, if you find yourself in San Fran when the balloon goes up, you can pull that sock out and, while the perp is distracted by the bulge that is coming his way, you can beat him to death with it.
Guaranteed one sock shot. Let me start off by saying this.. That being said there is nothing wrong with both… a. It really depends more on shot placement and how comfortable you are with that caliber.. And has lighter recoil.. I am sure if you where training with your service weapon day in and day out… your going to want a 9mm.. Sig Makes the best. But my back up is a Glock 27 gen I prefer. I have the subcompact. G27 gen3. Nor do I miss inside of 15 yards with it.
For the capacity argument. Your comments are generally valid. But they also apply to many other guns and chambering. So hand load if it counts. Seat your bullets to the max OAL for minimum peak pressure 1. Use a strong taper crimp to hold the bullet in place, or even a mild roll crimp with a taper crimp second to smooth feeding.
Anyone can do that. You just have to be or act more intelligent about your approach. A 10mm is not a good gun for edc. Studies have shown that in a home defense situations, most are 12 feet apart or less. Which creates a bigger problem of which, the 10mm bullet will go on through the body and possibly strike someone else. At the time this was penned nearly all of the 10mm loadings outside of boutique loadings like Doubletap and Underwood were 10mm FBI, watered down 40 loads.
So this was complete malarkey. As for these studies I wish someone would cite the sources of where 10mm 12 ft or less induced the oh so discussed and mythilized over penetration? Keep in mind full powered 10mm Norma loadings replicate magnum. Unless its loaded up with hardcast instead of JHPs. Over penetration will just not be a thing.
Hello, On the subject of. I just bought a Performance Center Shield in. One of the reasons for buying this was because I heard you can trade out barrels for the 9mm.
Well I found barrels for the. Anyone have any tricks in reducing the. This seems like the biggest negative. Personally I would like to shoot a.
Not a fan of adding compensator holes. My USP Compact shoots. It has a double spring recoil rod designed for. The 40 has a decent amout of muzzle flip. Try using a rail mounted light or laser with your gun to add some extra weight to the bottom. I dont know what kind of. Look at the muzzle energy of the hottest jhp personal defense loads out there — you have mid-high s for the 9mm and mid-high s for the. Same velocity, but larger heavier. Most 10mm jhp offerings can be had by buying hot.
Shoot one of these off in your bedroom you may never hear again. You can hunt with them I suppose, but only an asshole would hunt with a small handgun. Typical arguments against the. What a terribly ignorant writeup… Your assumptions lead me to believe you, sir, are a jackass.
And I also think your write up is off the mark. There are other companies that make guns besides Glock. SA makes a very nice platform for the. Try getting out of Glock country once in a while. I have been in love with my. And yes there is a perfect round for that function IMO. It penetrates car door steel a.
Those are perfect of a gun to be carried in a car. I carry a. I just get really tired of seeing people bash the. A gr. The Army adopts the Beretta 92fs M9 public sales went through the ceiling. Squelched by the Miami incident, they fell into the background until the fateful day that the F. Finally vindicated, they came out of the closet in droves.
The F. Oh Ya! I trust what they say. When they jump off a bridge, they will have all the 9mm fans following. Oh yes, just one last comment. I am sick to death listening to 9mm proponents arguing that bullet technology and more powder has made it equal to both the. Yes you can jam 10 lbs. The extra 60 or 70 ft-lbs of energy from a. Where are you getting your statistics? The FBI is switching back to 9mm because their agents are sissies and are having trouble qualifying with the.
I have a G22 Gen 1 and a Gen 3. Also the ammo for the. In ballistics gel the grain. Yes, shot placement is very important but ware where you pulling the rest out of? I forget the guys name but he does a YouTube.
He had better grouping with the 40 at 75ft and at ft. Not much better. The time 9mm was faster by 1.
Not much faster.. To destroy a cinder block. In my opinion a cal is a better Tactical round. The 10 mm who cares. Yeah and? And so is the 10mm. It all depends on the shooter and their style. I think you just dogged on the 40 instead of giving good reasons not to carry.
Dude… You are just wrong on about everything you have said. And the 40 is not any more dangerous than any other caliber as you have stated. Reload your ammo and make it fit your needs. You should not be giving advice to anybody. Well said. If I am really serious about self defense I would carry my.
Now that really penetrates and it is as dependable and smoooooth as they come. Its accuracy for me is almost as good as my.
