Cast bullets in a 10mm auto

[Love Life]

I love Glocks. I shoot them and revolvers better than any other hand guns I own.

10mm- I feel perfectly fine with the 10mm for the reasons DK17HMR outlined. When loaded to top loadings it is a heck of a cartridge. Unfortunately the Delta is not up to handling the nuclear 800X loads.

Here are my thoughts on the leading. I use HI-TEK super coat exclusively so I don't worry about leading in the Glock barrels. Before I switched to HT I used speed green or Lotak Hard for my 9mm and 45 ACP ammo in the Glocks and never had any issues either. Fit is king blah, blah, blah.

Is the chamber in the 10mm glock fully supported or no like there 40s?

Yes, full case support

Sort of off track, but I have seen a few 10mm Commander pistols on the forum. Who makes those? Are they one off custom items?

I'm not sure of any current production 10mm 1911. Dan wesson used to make one when bob serva(vbob) owned them and he now builds them under the fusion firearms name. Rock island is making a "mid-size" 10mm, 4" bull barrel with full size frame with light rail I believe. I'd kinda like a true 4.25" ramped bushing barrel bobbed 10mm 1911.

I was under the impression that EAA was still making a 10mm 1911?

[Outer Rondacker]

Yes, full case support

Thank you. Well my wife wont now that I know this I will be buying one for sure.

EAA makes the witness, a cz75 clone.

the newer 40 cal glocks have full case support as well.

For holsters give ElPaso Saddlery a serious look....they are great.

I built my aluminum framed 10mm commander myself.

That is a sweet pistol. Do you mind if I pm you and pick your brain on it?

[Adam10mm]

Not at all.

Doug, you are humping it. Go Go.
Do you have any pics of your brass with primers after being shot?
Thanks.

My mountain carry load is a 205gr WFN at 1240fps, loaded with Long Shot powder in a Factory Glock barrel for 700 foot pounds at the muzzle.

My buddies give me a lot of grief about carrying my Glock in the mountains because "you had to have a 44 magnum with 300gr bullets"......6 rounds compared to 16, manageable recoil with very quick follow up shots compared to their ultra light 44 magnums that barely get first round hits...one day at the range we raced on a 7 yard target, I was picking up my brass before they had all 6 shots off....I'll take my Glock.


My concealed carry load is a 180gr Hydro-shock at just about 1400fps. I really love the 10mm cartridge but hate loosing brass so I bought a Lone Wolf 40 S&W barrel for my Glock 20 so I can shoot it on the cheap and not really worry about lost brass. No other changes other than the barrel, same mags, and recoil spring.

BladeTech paddle for Open carry and a Kholsters.com IWB for Concealed carry.

I have tried cast boolits from a place right here in Wisconsin and am very happy with the quality. Loaded and shot quite a few in my 40s&w already. And prices are pretty reasonable. acmebullet.com wis40

Interesting mine was a Gen4 from late 2012 and it was not supported.

Adam10MM that gun looks great. I have to ask how hard is it to make something like that?

This 205gr design is one of JTknives original molds. He cast and heat treated this batch for me shortly after I got the pistol. I am getting a slight bulge with the factory barrel that is why I stopped. I have plans to get an extended length Lone Wolf barrel for a better chamber and slightly more velocity.



JT has a wicked load for it out of his Glock 20, that is heavily modified, that I have personally shot over my chrono that read slightly over 1400fps.....it was hot but his pistol took it and wanted more.

Anyone looking to upgrade sights on the Glock 20, I highly recommend the two dot night sights made by Ameriglo. Excellent day time sight picture and simple night sight just put one dot on the other. The muzzle side of the rear sight is vertical enough to hook on something to rack the slide as well. I will be getting another set for the Glock 32c I am picking up tomorrow.

I personally shoot the 200 gr shallow hp Oreo mihec mold. My hunting loads I can push up to 1450. But got best accuracy at 1400. No leading at all. 6 inch Kkm in a glock 20 lone wolf longslide. Shot 6 deer so far. All amazing damage.

800x is king. Aa9 second. And longshot 3rd.

If you look in the group buy results forum you will find a ton of pics and info on the boolits and 10mm. Pics of deer as well.
