How To Pronounce "10mm"
Must I say "Ten Millimeter"

People here in the hills say "10 em em" Or "nine em em" Whatever the case may be. Sends ripples down my spine but I don't try to change their thinking. I like the "10 Millimeter" sound, myself.

The original is the .41 Magnum. So to piss off folk, I like to call it the .41 Auto.

Pronounce it as it is...
"10 maximum mofo"
Of course, the preferred pronunciation is not to abbreviate anything.

It's pronounced "NEW: and then "CLEAR".

Just for starters...
10MM is ALWAYS stated in CAPITOL LETTERS ! 
And another point...
It's refered to as a .38-40 Rimless  if used in a revolver (I use a S&W 610 in "urban cowboy" class).
And the only "Badder" semi auto is a .44 AutoMag !  (Yep, got one of them too !)
Class Dissmissed !
