Getting into 10mm Auto?

One Brasstard.com reader recently contacted me with some questions about getting into a new 10mm Auto pistol. He had some great questions about 10mm guns, ammo, and accessories, and I thought it would be worth sharing with others who might be considering a 10mm in the future.

Hello,

First, I want to say that I really appreciate the time you put into your reviews on brasstard.com. ; I just found your website today while searching the internet, and I’ve been reading ever since.  Specifically, I’ve been looking at information on the Glock 20 10mm because I am in the process of purchasing one.  I was quite excited when I noticed that it seems to be one of your favorite guns.  I know there are people that have extreme feelings on both ends of the spectrum concerning the 10mm, but I am definitely a fan.

When it comes to match shooters, there are some wide variations in personal sentiment regarding the use of Glock’s for competition. Despite the fact that the majority of those opinions are less than favorable, the G34 tends to draw a lot of fascination from even the most skeptical and die-hard 1911 lover. From the get-go, the gun’s performance was very impressive… far superseding my own level of speed and accuracy. I’d like to thank Brasstard user “KPB” for letting me borrow his toy for the event. Now lets take a closer look at this beautiful little piece of competition hardware… Read more…
