    .45 v 10mm

    I know there are lots of pistol threads floating around but I can't search on my phone. As a general purpose carry round and something to have at the ranch which would you pick.

    45 , ammo availability . . .

      Personally I prefer the 45ACP. Same basic size as a 10mm but travels a little slower so there is less chance of over penetration. Also, you can pick up 45ACP pretty much anywhere.

      If I remember what I read the FBI was the first agency to adopt the 10mm but they ran into problems with over penetration and soon switched to the 40SW.

      On the lease I always carry my .357 with snake shot and a speed loader with jacketed hollow points.

        10mm with some Cor-bon loads. It will put anything down!

                that isnt correct. totally opposite as a matter fact.
                you should read up on why the 10mm was chosen and why the FBI 10mm load created the 40 S&W.

                        If you have a 10 you have the ammo for it. Availability means improper planning because leaving ammo at home is tantamount to being irresponsible! The 10 is no less reliable than 45 or 9 or 40 so that argmument is out. Id prefer to carry my 10 because its sexier and jarder hitting :-)

                          10mm all the way. I use Buffalo Bore ammo and it has 887 lbs of energy at 25 yards or less.

                              Thats what I was thinking! Hope all gets better for you Dahmer.

                              As for the OP .45 for reasons stated above, availability and reliability.
