The increasing popularity of 10mm\u2014which is a long time coming\u2014means more gun owners are asking the question of what they can or should do with that new 10mm pistol. Then there\u2019s the issue of the financial investment in a new caliber and whether it\u2019s worth it. That\u2019s where the <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=Taurus%20TH10\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"deer-hogs-and-the-taurus-th10\" title=\"Deer, Hogs, and the Taurus TH10\">Taurus TH10<\/a> comes in. It\u2019s a wallet-friendly pistol bearing all the advantages of Taurus\u2019 semi-recent shift to a greater focus on quality control, and it\u2019s the gun that should get you into the deer woods. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/taurus-th10-ammo-slide-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Taurus TH10 with slide back\" class=\"wp-image-207032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/taurus-th10-ammo-slide-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/taurus-th10-ammo-slide-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/taurus-th10-ammo-slide-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/taurus-th10-ammo-slide-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/taurus-th10-ammo-slide.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Taurus TH10 is a 10mm handgun with a 15-round capacity.

(Photo credit: Kat Ainsworth Stevens)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-taurus-th10\">What\u2019s the Taurus TH10?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, the Taurus TH10 is made for versatility. It\u2019s not only a hunting handgun or just a defensive-use pistol\u2014it can do both. The TH10 is the first of its kind for the Brazilian gun maker because they hadn\u2019t jumped into 10mm before this gun. Make no mistake, there are magnums in the Taurus lineup, but a big bore like 10mm simply hasn\u2019t been a thing until now. The TH10 is a full-sized handgun that\u2019s made to do work, and it does it surprisingly well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This handgun is part of the TH line of hammer-fired handguns the company designs to bring out the modern best of the double-action\/single-action (DA\/SA) world. If you\u2019re not a fan of DA\/SA guns, hang in there. There are reasons you\u2019d still be interested in this gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/handgun-controls-taurus-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Controls of the Taurus TH10\" class=\"wp-image-207035\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/handgun-controls-taurus-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/handgun-controls-taurus-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/handgun-controls-taurus-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/handgun-controls-taurus-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/handgun-controls-taurus.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Thanks to the design of the TH10, all controls are ambidextrous and easy to manipulate without adjusting your grip. (Photo credit: Kat Ainsworth Stevens)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-details-on-the-th10\">What Are the Details on the TH10?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the headlining detail of the TH10\u2019s 10mm chambering, there was noticeable attention to features on this handgun. First, let\u2019s check out the dimensions. The TH10\u2019s barrel is 4.25 inches in length, putting it at a reasonable size for carry use (you\u2019d be surprised what a difference that 0.75 inches under 5.0 inches can make for carry). Its overall length is 7.80 inches, overall width is 1.43 inches, and overall height is 5.80 inches. The TH10 has an overall weight of 28.5 ounces when it\u2019s empty, and its 15-round capacity means it does weigh in at over 30 ounces when it\u2019s loaded. It\u2019s not impossibly large for carry, but it is big enough you might spend a little extra time deciding where on your body to carry it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The grip does have finger grooves which tends to be a less-than-stellar detail on any <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/firearms\/handguns\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"deer-hogs-and-the-taurus-th10\" title=\"Deer, Hogs, and the Taurus TH10\">handgun<\/a>, but fortunately, the grooves are subtle enough not to be a major issue. There are aggressively textured sections on either side of the grip as well as on the back strap and front strap. The gun comes with a trio of back straps so the fit can be adjusted more precisely to the shooter, and that\u2019s an excellent detail. Another great one is that the thumb safety, slide lock, and magazine release are all ambidextrous and textured to keep your hands from slipping during manipulation. A polymer frame cuts overall weight and an alloy steel slide and stainless-steel barrel increase durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other features include angled serrations at the rearward portion of the slide, an accessory rail ahead of the trigger guard, and a loaded chamber indicator. The gun ships with a drift-adjustable, blacked-out rear sight and white dot front sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On to the fun stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-you-deer-hunt-with-the-taurus-th10\">Can You Deer Hunt With the Taurus TH10?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can deer hunt with the TH10\u2014in fact, I\u2019d encourage it. A gun like this is a stellar way to get into handgun hunting without setting a pile of money on fire in your front yard. This handgun fits my hands well\u2014and my hands are large for a woman\u2014and it doesn\u2019t produce excessive felt recoil or muzzle rise. Because it has that polymer frame, it doesn\u2019t have quite the bulk to reduce recoil like some 10mm guns do, but it doesn\u2019t need it. I prefer the polymer because it removes any fears of somehow damaging the shiny surface of your nickel-plated revolver or the bone grips on your 1911. Handgun hunting is a tough sport, and your gun should be up to the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hunting-tips\">Hunting Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A few things to think about before you hit the woods with the TH10 are accuracy, distance, and ammo. With its 4.25-inch barrel and 10mm chambering, the TH10 is capable of an effective range of around 75 yards on whitetail deer. That\u2019s assuming you\u2019ve loaded the gun with quality hunting ammo like Federal Fusion 10mm 200-grain Soft Point or Hornady Handgun Hunter Monoflex 10mm 135-grain. Now, I know what you\u2019re thinking\u2014there\u2019s a big difference in bullet weight between those two loads. The TH10 handles both well and each has its strengths. If you\u2019re after bigger game or taking longer shots, the Federal load might suit you best, but the Hornady ammo is specifically made for hunting and works well on deer and feral hogs. Just familiarize yourself with the drop and drift rate of the ammo you choose and spend time shooting it at the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/10mm-ammo-winchester-1024x780.jpg\" alt=\"stack of 10mm ammunition\" class=\"wp-image-207039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/10mm-ammo-winchester-1024x780.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/10mm-ammo-winchester-394x300.jpg 394w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/10mm-ammo-winchester-150x114.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/10mm-ammo-winchester-768x585.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/10mm-ammo-winchester.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Yes, 10mm can be used for self-defense. Just be sure you use the best possible defensive loads.

The ideal defensive-use gun is the one that\u2019s reliable, accurate, and comfortable. That last point of comfort is about being able to control the gun well enough to get it back on target fast for any necessary follow-up shots. You don\u2019t want to be using a gun for self-defense that you can\u2019t manage during rapid fire. 10mm can be used for self-defense as can the TH10, you just need to do the work to make sure you\u2019re an accurate, mindful shooter if the worst-case scenario hits. As for worries about overpenetration, the truth is that any caliber can over-penetrate. Use the correct defensive ammo and pay attention to what\u2019s beyond your target, as always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/taurus-backstrap-set-handgun-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"set of backstraps for Taurus TH10\" class=\"wp-image-207043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/taurus-backstrap-set-handgun-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/taurus-backstrap-set-handgun-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/taurus-backstrap-set-handgun-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/taurus-backstrap-set-handgun-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/taurus-backstrap-set-handgun.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">It&#8217;s easy to swap out backstraps to get a better fit for your hands.

With the white front dot sight that comes standard, you might find yourself wanting to either swap out the sight or paint over it with a fluorescent orange or green. White just isn\u2019t ideal, even though it\u2019s extremely common. That said, the contrast with the blacked-out rear sight is good as-is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/hunt365.gunsamerica.com\/blogs\/sig-sauer-echo-sv50-lrf-a-game-changer-in-thermal-optics\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"deer-hogs-and-the-taurus-th10\" title=\"Deer, Hogs, and the Taurus TH10\">SIG Sauer ECHO SV50 LRF : A Game-Changer in Thermal Optics<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can manipulate the controls on the gun without changing your grip excessively assuming your hands are average to large-sized. The DA\/SA trigger has a curved blade and trigger reach is fine, especially considering how far forward many DA\/SA guns set the trigger. In double-action, there\u2019s a bit of stacking ahead of the break but it\u2019s a decent trigger, especially for the price point. Shooting single-action, you\u2019ll notice the take-up and the pull itself is a bit stiff. Even so, it\u2019s not a bad factory trigger. The break is clean and the re-set is as expected. One downside is the audible sounds the trigger and hammer make because they\u2019re not quite as subtle as other guns, and that means any animal you\u2019re chasing is likely to hear it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a generally accurate gun that\u2019s capable of dropping deer. You might find you\u2019re most comfortable under 50 yards or less, but with some practice and the correct ammo, you could make that a longer shot. Given the accuracy of the gun, staying under 75 yards is likely your most ethical bet. As the line goes, this is an accurate gun, but not a <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-savage-releases-another-sweet-gun-the-110-high-country-shot-show-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"deer-hogs-and-the-taurus-th10\" title=\"Deer, Hogs, and the Taurus TH10\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1481\">precise gun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to get into handgun hunting, the Taurus TH10 is a great way to do it.
