10mm on the rise!!

cablecutter · 12-29-2011, 14:59

seems to me that 10mm is on the rise. What would you guess would be the next gun manufacture to produce another 10mm?

Gamisouu · 12-29-2011, 15:18

M&P 10mm Compact plz!

well I would love one in a XDM but I doubt that springfield armory would go for the 10mm since they don't have the xdm in 357 sig yet.

The 10MM would be the only XD, I'd have!

There are some die-hard 10mm fans out there, and I'm not trying to be a wiseguy when I ask this, but what signs tell you that the popularity of that caliber is on the rise?

alwaysshootin · 12-29-2011, 16:39

How about a CZ 105?

They have a 75,85, and 97! EEA makes a 10 and they could beat Veltor to the market!

If you go towards the top of the GT home page, and click on "new posts", frequently, you'll find, that most, caliber specific, questions, thoughts, and new firearm purchases, are of the 10MM. You will see that there is a growing population of shooters seeing just what the 10 offers, and most are quite exuberant in their find!

10mm sucks!

A 1911 mfg will make a limited run at some point in the future. I don't see any evidence of more interest in 10mm now than there was 5 or 10 years ago.

I want a Ruger GP100 & SP101 in 10mm.

Ridgeway · 12-29-2011, 17:06

I'd love a 10mm M&P. But realistically I'd say a limited run 1911 is about all we will get for the foreseeable future.
It may be on the rise on some of the forums, but we are still in the minority of gun owners. I doubt there is enough interest to get a major manufacturer to tool up for what would be a low volume product.
Just look @ HK essentially phasing out .357 sig (I believe).

How cool would that be?

Vltor

oh nevermind

None! Neither the market nor the profit is there. If it was they would be built and so far no one even seems to be willing.

lordofmpower · 12-29-2011, 17:09

I'd make love to a P30 in 10mm or a p2000sk in 10mm

Which still are not, however, the vast majority of the shooting public, military, law enforcement or civilian. That majority has already rejected the 10mm as a every day option for a myriad of reasons.

And no amount of high priced 1911 platforms will change that.

Vltor, I'll give you

but,

How long were the reintroduction of the S&W 610 around?

When Kimber reintroduces the Custom Target in 10 with a suggested retail of $1250+, how long will they be around?

I'll have to disagree. It wasn't "that" population, for the most part, that rejected the 10. It was rejected for them, LE, and military for sure. Most have been handed stun guns, to use in the field. So, I think that tells the tale on why they aren't allowed the use of the 10!

esh325 · 12-29-2011, 17:27

If it becomes more popular good, if it remains a niche cartridge with a small loyal following, then oh well. Doesn't matter to me.

Stun guns? Huh?

My bad. Tazers, couldn't think of what they were called!

Oh, and not to mention, bean bag guns! Just a couple of tools to be used that are less than lethal. Wonder why they make them use them?

blastfact · 12-29-2011, 17:49

It is on the rise and I'm glad. It's a great caliber. The LSG's around here can't keep any currently or pass production 10mm weapon in stock. Everything on there standard stock orders are sold and used weapons never last more than a day or so under glass.

There are more custom ammo manufactures coming online supplying great full power well made, safe 10mm ammo. Priced well might I add. I even see 10mm whimpy ass .40 S&W class junk in Wal-Mart every once in awhile. And at a couple of local farm and ranch store's. And as always match grade full power and above 10mm ammo is only a reloading bench away.

If you want a mag. class auto pistol load? 10mm is the way to go! And more shooters are finding that out and embracing it.
