Is 10mm worth getting into?

[SirBannedAlot]

I know that ammo prices are crazy, but some of the lesser used calibers are still actually reasonable...

I never owned a 10mm, but I see that there is a new Springfield XDM in 10mm for $549 and it sounds like a potent round for defense, or hunting, etc...

Is it all it is cracked up to be, or more of a niche/novelty?

Its all it's cracked up to be. I think the XDM is a good deal now. However, I love my Glock 20. All the guides I know in AK are using glock 20's with Lone Wolf barrels (for heavy lead loads). The Glock 20 you can get a 40S&W barrel to shoot cheaper.

Of course, but I wouldn't go the Springfield route. Ewww.

Serious question since we are talking about 10 mm. Isn’t the 357 with good loads more powerful than the 10. But we are just giving up capacity with the 357 Just trying to decide if I want a 10 also

If you can find 10mm ammo, I say go for it.

These guys are usually pretty detailed in their review and data, and they are claiming that at the end of the day, that 10mm and .40S&W aren't all that different?

Do you want an auto (at least a reliable one)?

Decent whitetail round but for anything bigger go bigger.
