A couple years ago I started down the 10mm road. Asked some questions, received good feedback, and wanted to update the forum on what happened since. Heres that link.

I ended purchasing a Sig Sauer P220 Elite 10mm in single action 2 yrs ago, (and a Dan Wesson Razorback this spring
....). I hunted with the Sig last year and missed one I should have hit, and it haunted me all year. I think I missed because he came too fast I couldn't think the shot through. I went from thoroughly bored to firing in about 5 seconds 
.... This year I practiced from stand, and was more thoroughly prepared.
I was rewarded with a nice bodied 9 point buck last night night! The Sig 10mm with Underwood's 200gr XTP JHP worked perfectly. Hit him in the lungs, and he was too stunned to run off. He ran 15 yards, stood there for a few minutes, then walked another 20 ft and fell. There was no exit wound. He was following a doe and I was able to rest the gun on the stand and wait for him to enter the shooting lane, about 25-30 yards away. Couldn't ask for a better way for it to go down.
Sorry for the lousy pic, I was too pumped to take a better one last night. This is the nicest deer I have taken, and to do it with my favorite handgun after last years debacle, then preparing hard for this year's hunt and sitting on stand for 10 hrs yesterday was overwhelming. Going to butcher him this morning and have some sausage for winter!!
