Ayoob: Was the 10mm Destined to Fail?

Not necessarily Destined to Fail , as " Destined to Become a Niche Cartridge, Primarily for Hunters , Outdoorsmen , and Serious Ballistic Geeks ( said in a good way ) " .

Pretty much what ECS686 said above about the physical size of the gun being at least as much factor as the Recoil .

So when the .40S&W came about ( initially) duplicating FBI Spec 10mm ballistics, in essentially 9mm sized guns , it was the Perfect Storm .

My take was that Full Power 10mm was basically similar to the 80% -ish loaded Silvertip in .41 Mag .

Which was a * Very Useful Level * , as representing the upper end of " How much power can you have , and still be Plausible for Duty & Defense by reasonably skilled users , and not redicously overpenetrate . " .

Yea, the original loads back then, especially the Norma loads
 
Love my TRP Operator in 10mm. I think the 1911 frame is a perfect 10mm host.

I can ring steel at over 100 yards with that thing. It's amazing.

175gr Critical Duty is the car carry round, 200gr DGH is the Backcountry round.

The first handgun I bought was a Glock G-20 Gen-2. Still my favorite pistol!! My favorite revolver is my S&W Model 19.
.357 Mag Combat Magnum. Wonderfull revolver.
But my woods gun is still my G-20 with Lehigh Defense 190 grain solid copper wide flat nose bullets at 1090 fps.
1 in the barrel, 15 in the mag. Confidence in the hand!
 
I live and work in Grizzly country. A couple of years ago I bought the XDM Elite in 10mm. Great pistol! I always load it with Underwood 140grn. I carry it in a chest holster and it rides perfect. So far so good!
