The 10 gives you .357 Magnum-like power in a rimless .40 caliber cartridge intended for higher-capacity semi-auto handguns. The .357 in a lever action carbine configuration has long been espoused for medium game hunting and personal defense without the recoil of larger rifle cartridges. But what about a 10mm carbine? Enter the Grand Power Stribog SP10A3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/grand-power-stribog-case.jpg\" alt=\"the grand power stribog sp10a3 with a psa rock \" class=\"wp-image-209028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/grand-power-stribog-case.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/grand-power-stribog-case-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/grand-power-stribog-case-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/grand-power-stribog-case-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-the-10mm-as-a-carbine-cartridge\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\" data-level=\"2\">The 10mm as a Carbine Cartridge<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-the-grand-power-stribog-10mm-quirks-and-features\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\" data-level=\"2\">The Grand Power Stribog 10mm: Quirks and Features<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-stribog-sp10a3-magazines\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\" data-level=\"2\">Stribog SP10A3 Magazines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-disassembly-of-the-grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\" data-level=\"2\">Disassembly of the Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-on-the-range-with-the-grand-power-stribog-sp10a3\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\" data-level=\"2\">On the Range with the Grand Power Stribog SP10A3<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#h-ergonomics\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\" data-level=\"3\">Ergonomics<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-shooting-with-the-stribog-sp10a3\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\" data-level=\"3\">Shooting With the Stribog SP10A3<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-accuracy\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\" data-level=\"3\">Accuracy<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-power\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\" data-level=\"3\">Power<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-reliability\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\" data-level=\"3\">Reliability<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-the-grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-one-of-a-growing-niche\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\" data-level=\"2\">The Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm: One of a Growing Niche<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-10mm-as-a-carbine-cartridge\">The 10mm as a Carbine Cartridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/pistol-ammo-10mm\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10mm Auto<\/a> is an excellent pistol cartridge, but it has been historically underutilized as a PCC round. <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=P%209MM%20LUGER\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\">9mm Luger<\/a> is, by far, the most popular, and second to it is .45 ACP.

The quick decline in interest killed the 10mm carbine concept. The idea has seen a resurgence as the virtues of the 10 are rediscovered.

I added my Viridian RFX 15 3 MOA Green Dot, which continues to ride on the Stribog without issue. As I am new to braceable pistols, I was thrown for a loop with the stock adapter. It is railed and I figured I would have to seek out a brace that dovetails and screws in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it turns out, that was not the case. There are a few brace options for the Stribog. SB Tactical and Strike Industries makes one. Rainier Arms has a minimalist brace with an integral sling point. I settled on a polymer folding brace from HB Industries. With the Stribog squared away, I headed to the range with 400 rounds of 10mm to see what I could learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/stribog-shooting.jpg\" alt=\"man shooting sum-machine gun\" class=\"wp-image-208885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/stribog-shooting.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/stribog-shooting-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/stribog-shooting-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/stribog-shooting-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Jim lines up a shot with the Stribog.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ergonomics\">Ergonomics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a brace and this minimal optic, the Stribog SP10A3 weighs just 6.6 lbs. fully loaded. Although the brace made shouldering a bit crowded for my six-and-a-half-foot frame, I quickly learned my way around it and concluded that the braced Stribog would be a quick deploying option that doesn&#8217;t tire the arms and is set up just right for someone with an average to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a southpaw, it was a treat that the Stribog 10 is mostly ambidextrous. The controls are easy to manipulate on both sides, even with my shorter thumbs. The magazine release drops empty magazines with authority, whether you choose to press the magazine button or flick the latch. The bolt release is best set up for the right-hander&#8217;s shooting thumb, but it is easy enough for a lefty who gives it a smack with the palm of the shooting hand. This worked out for me as I was reaching for the charging handle with the same hand when loading on a closed bolt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a shooting perspective, the SP10 is a pleasant balancing act. The 10mm Auto is a powerful handgun cartridge and the lightweight and compact size of the SP10 lets you know that. But the barrel rides at the lowest point of the upper receiver and the added weight over it keeps the muzzle rise low enough that I could consistently keep it shouldered and see the green dot of my optic at all times. Recoil is a brisk push on the shoulder that you will feel, but it is not onerous with brief range sessions. I was, however, tempted to take a break after my first hundred rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shooting-with-the-stribog-sp10a3\">Shooting With the Stribog SP10A3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Braced pistols combine some of the positive features of dedicated handguns and rifles but never completely. The 10mm Auto isn&#8217;t a rifle round, but it is easy to expect better accuracy with a third point of contact with a brace and a longer 8-inch barrel compared to a handgun. I zeroed the rifle at 25 yards and the lion&#8217;s share of my shooting was at that distance. I did go for groups from the bench at 50 yards and tried my hand at steel out to 100 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/stribog-accuracy.jpg\" alt=\"grand power stribog sp10 accuracy 50 yards\" class=\"wp-image-208884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/stribog-accuracy.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/stribog-accuracy-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/stribog-accuracy-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/stribog-accuracy-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>My initial shots at 50 yards off the bench using S&amp;B 180 grain FMJ.  I later dialed it in for a 50-yard zero.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I did not test a wide variety of ammunition through the Stribog SP10A3. Most of the four hundred rounds I went through consisted of Sellier &amp; Bellot 180-grain FMJ target ammunition. But I also had a box of Hornady Custom 155 grain XTPs and Buffalo Bore 220 grain hard cast flat point ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-accuracy\">Accuracy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At fifty yards, I could reliably get five rounds into a 3-inch group using the S&amp;B load. The XTPs performed similarly but printed an inch and a half higher. The Buffalo Bore Outdoorsman load&#8217;s group opened up to 3.5 inches but hit the same point of aim as the S&amp;B load. The accuracy may have been better with a magnified optic, but the reflex sight fits well for what is expected out of a PCC and I found the accuracy to be more than adequate for personal defense and even hunting medium game like hog or deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offhand, it was easy to knock my 8-inch steel plates at 50 yards and I could reliably hit a 1\/2 size steel silhouette at 100 yards as long as I switched to decaf. Transitioning from target to target was a bit slower compared to a traditional 9mm PCC, as the SP10 wanted to move around more, even though I never lost sight of my optic window or my target. But the 10mm is hitting those plates with more authority and less drop. At 100 yards, my rounds struck just three inches below my aiming point. That is not much drop for a pistol round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-power\">Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Handgun hunters, including our own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/author\/kat-ainsworth\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\">Kat Ainsworth<\/a>, trust the 10mm Auto as a hunting cartridge&#8211;out of a handgun. It is a powerful flat shooting option that you can pack in a holster. Putting the 10mm in a carbine helps in the accuracy department beyond typical pistol distances, especially for average shooters like me. But does that longer barrel also help boost the 10 power-wise? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is yes, marginally. I fired the SP10A3 for a few five-round strings across my Caldwell chronograph from a distance of ten feet to shed some light on how velocities might improve over a conventional handgun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Buffalo Bore load, marketed as dangerous game medicine, clocked in at an average velocity of 1,388 feet per second over an advertised velocity of 1,200 feet per second. The Hornady Custom load, with its light bullet, has an advertised velocity of 1,410 out of a 5-inch barreled handgun. It came in at 1,603 feet per second. The S&amp;B load has an advertised velocity of 1,150 feet per second. Out of the eight-inch Stribog, this round came in a 1,244 feet per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A true 16-inch barreled carbine might yield the best results but at the cost of compactness. But even the most underloaded 10mm round is faring better out of the Stribog, which might make the difference depending on what you are looking to shoot at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reliability\">Reliability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stribog SP10 was an interesting shooting experience, but not due to a lack of reliability. It is boring in that aspect as I had no failures to feed, fire, or eject. I initially had doubts about how a blowback-operated action might be able to handle the 10mm round over conventional lower-powered rounds like 9mm or .45. Those doubts were unfounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/one-armed-boom-stick-the-robinson-armament-xcr-l-pistol\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-carbine\" title=\"Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm Carbine\">One-Armed Boom Stick \u2013 The Robinson Armament XCR-L Pistol<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-grand-power-stribog-sp10a3-10mm-one-of-a-growing-niche\">The Grand Power Stribog SP10A3 10mm: One of a Growing Niche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 10mm Auto cartridge went to the proverbial dustbin of history in the early 1990s not for lack of performance but for institutional and political reasons. Although it is not a magnum revolver round, the 10mm has its virtues that simply didn&#8217;t go away because it lost popularity. The 10 deserves its resurgence and there are now more 10mm pistols on the market than there were during its brief heyday. With the 10 now in carbine form, the future is looking just a little brighter.
