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.
I'd definitely like a 10mm M&P. I own or have owned just about everything in the line. I have a EAA Witness in 10mm that I really like. I wouldn't mind trying a G20, though. Or this may be my ultimate 10mm, http://www.stiguns.com/guns/Perfect10/Perfect10.php.

Does the snake shot cycle the slide?

How does the EAA Witness in 10mm handle? It's an all-steel gun. Their .45 ACP steel guns are great to shoot, so I imagine the 10mm is built on a .45 frame. 15rd mags are nice...hmmmmmmm Maybe I shouldn't have seen this.
Wow, those are some very nice prices on that blaster! Mags are $23 as well. That pistol would look nice with a meltdown on the slide, and Cerakoted. I wonder if there are varying weight recoil springs available for it for tuning different loads. I really love 10mm, with the increased range and penetration advantages over other pistol calibers. I usually buy a minimum of 5 mags for every pistol that I shoot, if not more. That is an affordable package right there.
Do you reload for yours? Any die recommendations if so?

i have carried my s&w m1006 a few times. i have always been a 10mm fan. when i need a few more rounds my g22 goes on the hip.
I carry either a Glock 29, 10mm or my Para-Ord LTC 45 and/or the 10mm conversion slide/bbl I did for the LTC.
I normally carry my .357 when deer hunting. It's a good round to use to finish off an animal that is down but still kicking. Plus, up here in Washington state we do have bears. It's the smallest pistol caliber I would ever consider using on a bear. Plus, it's legal to use during deer (rifle) season as long as it has a 4 inch barrel.
Smith & Wesson .460. Enough said.
I shot my buddies .460, those things are almost reduculous. The four foot fireball that comes out really messes up a follow up shot. Plus, at 7 pounds you really have to hold the thing with both hands. I'm sure it would be accurate and effective, escpecially with a scope on it.
As for the "what not to do" video, he's damn lucky he didn't kill the guy with the rifle.

For hunting game with I've used a T/C Contender for years. I have four barrels for it(12"-.35Rem, 14"-.17HMR, 10"-.22LR, 10"-.45LC/410). Of all the guns I own I've used this one more than anything else.
Back-up pistol, S&W 629 5".
I always carry my 500 S&W as a back up sidearm. I'm still holding onto the hope that I will be the first person to kill a bigfoot.

G31 (.357 sig), managed a head shot on a doe at 60 yds a few years back with it. Put down a few hogs with it also.

1911 but looking for something more. Possibly a 10mm.
I'm with you Greg, the 41 mag is the best of both worlds! Ruger BlackHawk for me.
I think this was a nice thread idea and i really liked the responses.
I like my midsized glock 40sw because it is light weight. when you fill your hunting pack if you carry a full sized 1911 it is gonna weigh a pound or so more than the glocks and every ounce matters to me because i have a bad back and carry alot of equipment.
in texas where i hunt the two main concerns for me are hogs, rattlesnakes, and two legged varmits. I like that the 40sw you can buy rat shot, i keep a clip of it in my pack. the biggest hog i ever shot a little over 300lbs on the hoof was with that glock. i shot him right between the eyes and he fell over stone dead at 15 yards or so. I have shot hogs almost that size with the 308 in the head and it just made them mad and they came back for more lead so you never know, so I like to have high mag capacity in my rifles and guns when it comes to hogs because they can take some lead.
what handgun to carry and what caliber should depend on where you hunt and what you might have to use it for.
are you scared of 4 legged varmits or the two legged variety?
do you encounter snakes?
is weight or size of the handgun an issue?
does capacity matter?
I would trade my 40sw for a 10mm if they made factory rat/snake shot loads. I am also tempted to get a 44 mag or a judge, but they weigh more and carry less ammo than my glock, but the pack a bigger punch for snakes and hogs....
Has anyone looked into the .460 Rowland

44 magnum performance out of a compensated 1911 package. It uses special brass that is slightly longer than standard 45 ACP for safety, but uses standard magazines because loaded OAL is the same. It uses standard 45 ACP dies for loading and some of the same bullets (bullets must be able to withstand much higher velocity).
I want to convert a nice Kimber 1911 into a portable hand cannon
