10 MM
« on: October 13, 2009, 01:04:18 PM »
The Glock 20 seems to be an excellent "all purpose" semi Auto.
.40 Cal seems to be gaining a reputation as a self defense round, it seems that the faster 10 mm would give better penetration and bullet performance in heavier game.
My question is would you use the 10mm semi for hunting, and if so, how large would you be comfortable.
Deer ? Eastern bears (smaller ) Elk ?

Uncle Ted, uses his 10mm alot for hunting. Deer and hogs for sure, haven't heard of it used for elk or bear. But with the right ammo, shot placement and at the right distance.... then again is'nt that where the answer lies  ;)

I'm a big fan of the 10mm.

Are you getting one?

In Coloradao for big game hunting with a hand gun.

Barrel must be min. 4 inches long
Must use a min. .24-caliber (6mm) diameter expanding bullet.
Must use a cartridge or load that produces min. energy of 550-ft. lbs. at 50 yards. as rated by manufacturer.

Deer, hogs, and Mountain Lions, I'd trust a 10 MM for. Black bears, Probably; but I wouldn't use it for elk. I'd go to a .44 Mag for elk.

Not getting one in the foreseeable future but the local gun shop had a G 20 NIB for $550 All the other 10MM's I'd seen had been double that price. It got me curious about the caliber.
Thanks for the comments.

when I go pig hunting, one of my DEs is my back up.  more power and rounds.  Pigs here tend to be in the 150-200 lb range.  Few in the 300+ but they are rare.  deer would be a easy kill, if you could get close.( deer here are less then 100 lbs, but its almost always a 200+ yd shot)

Like most hand gun rounds, the hand loader can load things alot stronger then off the shelf stuff.

I know that the Double Tap rounds are built from the ground up as a hunting round for the Glock 20 and are very potent, not stuff you practice regularly with. Although they probably would destroy your bank account before they destroyed your pistol.

double taps numbers are not from a standard G20, they use a 6" barrel, so don't expect to see thier numbers from a stock g20

I like the 10 mm, cheap pistol in a few brands. Not cheap ammo tho. I would take a hard look at it for a carry pistol.
