We issued the 1006, starting in about 1991/92 and kept it till 2006. I'm not gonna hash over some of the things said here, but the reason the 10mm got picked #1 was politics. There's secondary consideration that it's a hell of a subgun round, but that blows the 1 type of ammo argument right out of the water if you have 10mm for the subgun and 10 lite for the handgun.

We used a custom load: 180 @ 1200 +/- 50 fps for years. Our officerettes had no problem with the load, but the N frame length of reach to the DA trigger was an issue for many.
