Enough 10 for just about any problem<\/p><\/div>\n

It has been an amazing year for us 10mm guys, at least on the gun front. Every company in the industry it seems has developed a new 10mm. Options abound in a way we have never seen. But with all this firearm development, how is the ammo? A question I have had for a long time as well. When we think of 10mm, most of us buy one with the idea of power in mind. Be it for a Grizzly gun or a surefire man stopper, the reason to go to a 10mm is magnum level performance in a semi-auto. Unfortunately, as most of you know, factory 10mm is usually loaded to 40 S&W velocities.<\/p>\n

But usually doesn\u2019t mean always. There are companies that load to true 10mm potential, just not a lot of them. Over the last two months, I have reached out to every company that makes full power 10mm, to see if they were willing to participate in a test. It is, unfortunately, true also that advertised specs are not always real world specs. To their credit, every ammo brand in the test not only wasn\u2019t afraid of a chrono, but they also encouraged it. The companies that make real 10mm want you to know they make real 10mm.<\/p>\n

Some of the hyped velocities we see in the ammunition world come from the use of test barrels. It is borderline from an ethics perspective, but it does happen. For our ammo buyers guide, we wanted to know numbers from real-world weapons. In the interest of fairness, we sought to cover the wide variety of barrel lengths and types of weapons. We eventually settled on a carbine, 2x 1911\u2019s, and 2x striker fired polymers.<\/p>\n

Carbines are actually quite hard to find in 10mm, which I view as shocking. Thureon Defense rogered up to support us, with a 16 inch AR type carbine. Thureon is a new company to me, but we will have a full review of the 10mm carbine coming up in a few weeks. One notable feature about the company, they will make you a carbine that feeds off your preferred magazine, be it XD, M&P, Glock, or Sig.<\/p>\n

For handguns, Springfield Armory stepped up the plate with everything. It is staggering to think that Springfield had zero 10mm guns in the arsenal a year ago, and now they have seven. Since they have so many sizes and styles, it was a no brainer to use not only the 1911 models but the XD(M)\u2019s. The two 1911s provided us with a 6-inch and 5-inch barrel length, while the XD(M) models provided a 5.25 inch and a 4.5. I have reviewed actually every one of these guns over the last year and found them to be reliable and functional. ( 6\u201d 1911<\/a>, 5\u201d RO Elite<\/a>, XD(M))<\/a> It was also a selection factor that they all have Picatinny accessory rails since we used a Magneto Speed<\/a> for the test.<\/p>\n

\"Clay's<\/a>

Magneto Speed, with rail adaptor<\/p><\/div>\n

To accurately gauge the true velocity, a series of 10 rounds were fired for each load. That isn\u2019t the biggest scientific sample, but it is still quite a lot at this price. With 15 different loads and five test guns, that works out to 750 rounds of premium 10mm. So as not to completely break my heart by shooting them into the berm, we did make the test a bit more fun with some reactive targets. Another benefit to the Magneto Speed, you don\u2019t have to aim through a narrow channel to gather your data.<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/h2>\n

Overall, I am very impressed by the performance across the board. Some of the loads didn\u2019t live up to advertised velocity, but it was at least close. Considering that it was 20 degrees during my test, along with environmental factors, everything was well within the margin of error.<\/p>\n

We live not only in a golden era of 10mm guns but in things to feed them. If you have been hesitant to pick up a 10mm due to available rounds, that time has passed. Not only are premium defensive loads available, so is plinking ammo at a reasonable price. If you got something that goes bang for Christmas, now you know what to feed it.<\/p>\n
