PM Rex... he'll tell you all about the 10mm.
Damned right I will.

I fucking love the 10mm. It's perfect. Mild recoil (for a Magnum) designed from the ground up to be an automatic cartridge, and absurd stopping power. The 10MM is awesome, and it *should* be the ultimate auto cartridge round.
Chew on this for a minute:
200 Grain Bullet @ ~1300 FPS
750 Ft-lbs of energy
That's awesome!
"But Rex," you say "Where can I find 10mm ammo? Isn't hard to find/expensive?"
Nah. It's 50 cents more a box than .45ACP. For almost 200 more ft-lbs of energy. You can't buy it in Wal-Mart, but any gun store that carries ammo will carry 10mm Auto also.
Plus, it's freakin' awesome. Between the 10mm and the .357SIG, the .40S&W makes no sense at all.
