All of us here value your opinions about these matters, and if 10mm is your choice in a self-defense round, I for one feel the need to sit up and take notice. 
I've been a 45ACP guy at heart, though I toyed with 40S&W at one point, but I eventually "ran home to mama" and have been dedicated to big, fat, and slow ever since. I read that the FBI Hostage Rescue and SWAT teams are still issued 10mm, and that some police agencies use it too. I guess recoil was the biggest knock on 10mm as a "one size fits all" round for LE, but I've never had a problem with 45ACP and don't think 10mm would be an issue for me.
What say you on this? |
I'm going to point out a little thing that worries some folks...
HRT's using 10mm know it also does one other thing...
they can shoot thru a victim and into a terrorist pretty easily...
sometimes you have to put a non-lethal wound on a good guy,
to give a fatal wound to a bad guy...
or if the bad guy is evil enough, you'll sometimes have to
give fatal wounds to hostage AND bad guy.
Just the reality of the world since the 1972 Munich Massacre...
