`Just a comparison of 180 gr bullets with 700 and 900 ft lbs of energy.....10mm did a darn good job!

Either one would hurt.

Remember a 180 gn .40 cal bullet has a higher BC and SD than a .44 cal bullet of the same weight. Hence the smaller diameter bullet penetrates better than the larger at less velocity.

Look at a 150 gn 6.5 Swede vs a 150 gn 30-30. even if you load the 30-30 with a similar profile bullet to the 6.5 bullet.


Just mentioning it for grins.

I personally love the 10mm round. It "'can" hit my particular sweet spot on ballistics.

For a fair comparison, the G20 should be compared to a .44 with a 3" barrel.

I thought it was fair enough with the G20 having a 4.5 inch barrel....and the 44mag with the 6 inch? I believe...both put nasty holes through first metal barrier and nice dents in second...barrier with the 44mag having a larger dent in the second barrier...*I thought the 44mag would of went through both....Makes me love/respect the G20 even more now...

That's a huge difference since autos include the chamber in the measurement, and revolvers only the barrel. That 4.6" barrel on the Glock has only 3.35" of barrel in front of the bullet.

Thanks for the video. I don't want to be in front of either one. i do still like my 10's.

[Wolfdad]

Is not the standard bullet for the 44mag 240gr., and also the most commonly utilized in that caliber?

Agree Sir...and you are welcome

I was impressed that the 10mm made such a good comparison to the 44 especially given that a G20 is a much smaller and lighter weapon holding far more rounds.

Its also good to see just how much more you can get out of Underwoods with a 6" barrel.
