The 10 is a great cartridge if you reload. Mainstream ammunition companies have watered down the factory loads to the point where it is hardly more than +P .40 S&W. While I am not a Glock hater, I do fault the Glock partially supported chamber in the 10 for the reduced power loads. I would also recommend that you never buy once-fired brass for loading. Most once-fired has gone through a Glock and therefore is ballooned near the rim and not good for anything but pussycat loads. A couple of guys who should know told me the S&W 10XX series is the best 10mm pistol to date. I have a pair of 1066s (both SKUs!) and they are big, heavy and a joy to shoot. I also have a 5 inch 610 that has yet to yield the accuracy I think it should. (No, I am not very good, but even bad shots have standards!) I will find a load to make it shoot, but the autos seem to deliver with anything I put in the magazine. Great caliber--get on board!!
