10mm

Kimber America is showing off their expanded 2020 catalog with new and updated models for everyday carry, collecting and sport shooting.

Why, exactly, would I choose a 10mm for a Limited Gun? That class has long been dominated by 40 S&W, and usually in a 2011 platform. So why a 10mm, and why the XDM? Well, the XDM part is the easier answer.

Even with heavy loads, recoil is light. I would compare it to birdshot from a 12 gauge autoloader.

CMMG is expanding their Banshee series of AR-based firearms with a fleet of new pistols and short-barreled rifles chambered for 10mm Auto.

Springfield’s Range Officer Elite Operator in 10mm is the latest model in their 1911 lineup. Offering all the premium features found in the RO Elite series, the Elite Operator in 10mm brings the power for those wanting magnum-like ballistics.

Keltec, the company that makes the Sub2000 pistol-caliber carbine, recently asked customers what they’d like to see in a .45 ACP or 10mm Auto model.

With a 6″ bull barrel and chambered in 10mm, it’s a reasonable choice for those who choose to hunt with a handgun. The long barrel maximizes bullet acceleration and its weight helps mitigate the effects of recoil. It’s a handsome firearm in two color configurations, two-tone black and bronze, or tritone black and bronze with a grey slide (pictured here). And yes, it’s only available in 10mm.

It has been an excellent year for us 10mm Cultists, our cartridge of choice has grown by leaps and bounds. New guns, a gaggle of new factory loads, and an upswing in popularity have made 10mm more available than ever. With so many options, I felt compelled to write a post on alchemy write a review of available factory ammo and how it performed in the real world. A test like that requires, obviously, a gaggle of available pistol barrel lengths. But in my opinion, it should also be done from a carbine, as the 10mm gains so much from a rifle length barrel. So I went looking for one. And to the lasting shame of the firearms manufacturing world, I found very slim options.

Smith & Wesson is reintroducing their Model 610 N-Frame double-action revolver in two brightly-polished stainless steel offerings.
