I currently have a .40 and definitely feel a little under gunned.


The .40 S&W is pretty snappy in stout loadings in my HK USP. The 10mm is even more snappy in my friend's S&W 1006 and that is an all steel gun.

If you aren't recoil shy, get the 10mm. It will easily take down a deer at close range and it allows for more rounds than a wheel gun. You'll have limited choices in pistols with that caliber. Glock, S&W 1006, EAA, Colt and Kimber are the primary players.

The primary reasons I don't have don't have one is that I hate the Glock's grip angle and I'm not a big 1911 fan. If FN, Springfield, or S&W offered a polymer framed 10mm, I'd already have one.

Buy some ammo, and stock up on it if you get a 10mm. If we go through another run on ammo, it is a pain trying to find ammo for a niche caliber like the 10mm. It also 25-50% more expensive than .45 auto. If you reload for it, that becomes a nonissue.
