The more I shoot .40 S&W, the more I hate it. Recoil is way too snappy, follow-up shots are extremely difficult to squeeze out, unless shooting an all-steel gun, and ammo is pricy. I've always wanted a 10mm, but haven't gotten around to one yet. I would probably just load for it using Starline brass, and a mix of paper-cutting pills as well as good tissue-blasting projectiles. It would be nice to have an M&P on the .45 frames chambered in 10mm.]
Interesting. I haven't shot a 10mm, but I thought the .40 Short and Weak was the answer to the 10mm's propensity to be difficult to control? I actually think it is snappy, also, and prefer my .45 to my .40, and I like both over 9mm. (But I'd really love a major caliber that shot like my .22 LR P22!).
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
