Re: Poll: only one defensive handgun

That is the downside of the 10mm. Can't just walk into any store in Texas and buy ammo. You can always find it online but have to wait a few days. A buddy in the Navy says it is all over the place in Washington state and the Pacific Northwest. It mainly has stayed alive because of mountain hikers and hunters.

Re: Poll: only one defensive handgun

Well I went with the 10mm. Here is why. 15+1 rounds in the Glock 20. It has more energy on target then the .45. . It has 357 mag like ballistics. Contrary to belief the 10mm is not a recoil beast like a .44 mag. Most say it is and that was what I was told by everyone until I shot it and realized I should never listen to caliber rumor. Just a little more recoil then a .45 acp. There is no way the .45 acp is going to lose this battle. Yes I own a .45 acp but if I needed a "battle semi auto" it would be a 10mm.

This reminds me of threads on the internet when people ask what handgun you would have during a zombie apocalypse. Many say the 10mm!! No one is going to go against the .45acp. It has proven it’s self in war and for law enforcement. Many people carry the .40 so they can carry more rounds but have power approaching .45acp. Why not carry just as many rounds as the .40 S&W and the energy of 10mm. That’s why I never understood the whole .40 vs .45acp when you have the 10mm. Just my 2 cents.
