10 mm v. 357 - 03/27/08 02:30 AM
I am sure this has been covered. I own a 357 and would like to buy a 10mm. From what i have seen they are very have very similar ballistics. What do yall think? If they are so similar I just can't justify buying a 10mm. Thanks for the input.
My son has a 10mm and loves it. Be prepared to have limited choices and limited and suppliers of ammo compared to the 357.

seems like I've seen more animals taken with the 10mm. I have the 357 and love it, but if I could, I'd get a 10mm too
Stupid question, where is .40 at in standings compared to the 10mm?

they shoot the same bullet, just the .40 has less powder. Therefore is about 180 fps slower.

I've seen a couple of Ted Nugent's shows where he talks very favorably about the 10mm in the Glock using a Corbon load. He suggested it would work as a bear load. If you check with Corbon, they make a 180gr load and claim 696ft lbs at 1320fps. That ain't hay.

I have a Glock 10mm and I shot a bobcat in the head with it this past year with unbelieveale results! I was actually using some very tame loads (Remington sub-sonics) that I bought extremely cheap awhile back, but it still split his head wide open on the exit side!! I cant wait to see what Black Talons will do to a deer this year!!
By the way.......If I am not mistaken the 10mm was developed for the FBI, but it was said to be way more power than was needed to stop a human so they cut the case down to the current 40S&W length and called it a 40 instead of a 10mm!

Thanks for all the input guys. I didn't know the ballistics for a .40 and 10mm were so close. Since I have a 357 and a .40 I think i am gonna have to stay where I am.

I recommend the 10mm over all the above rounds also. The gun was dropped by the feds because it would pass clean through a human and the possibility of inoccent bystanders being struck was very high. If you can find one, get a Colt Delta Elite. You wont be disappointed. You'll sell that 357 and the 40.

When you say the ten doesn't use all it's energy on target. What are you refering too? Have you used the talons? And I have a Delta Elite 1st edition. I bought it new, which was a long time ago. And I've never had a problem with it. If my life was on the line. The delta elite would be in my hand not a glock. But that is why there is different manufactors and different calibers.

to me the 40cal is a waste a 9mm is cheaper too shoot and the .357sig 10mm 45acp and all wheel guns 38 and up run circles around it

225, I think he meant, if the bullet passed through then there was excess energy that was not transferred to the game or evil doer. There is so much more damage that occurs from other factors though, such as cavitation damage, tumbling, etc that varies with every bullet, even in the same case.
I get in this arguement with my buddies at work all the time. especially talking archery. Kinetic energy is mass time velocity squared. Therefore, if you go up a little in velocity the increase is energy is exponential versus an increase in mass. This is the basis behind the "go faster" craze with new cartridges. But that is not the only factor, there's BC and a ton of stuff and people that are a lot smarter than me that figure all this out so we can blast stuff.

Hunted up by yellowstone couple years ago with outfitter that carried a glock 10 mm for bears. Year before I hunted with him he used on a sow and cub that was chewing on his [censored]. Just for whatever its worth.

Just shot the 10mm and it was amazing. Really felt like a 357 mag coming out of a plastic framed auto wait it basically is.

Went to the fort worth gunshow today, I saw there were very few 10mm however I saw alot of 357sig also if you looked at the ammo for sale there was alot of 10mm ammo and very little 357sig ammo. I think that seams a little strange any ideas
