New Forum For 10MM Fans

That was a very deft thread drift correction. Once in awhile thread drifts occur for educational purposes.

As my record probably reveals, I'll drift a thread as fast as James Butler ("Wild Bill") Hickok used to slap leather.  And speaking of whom, I think old Bill would have highly approved of the 10mm cartridge.

Sheriff Wyatt Earp probably would have liked it also. He couldn't have had a much better record since he never lost a gunfight.  Although, The 10 mm probably would have saved him a few shots and ammo. Another superb gunfighter who would have loved it was Col. Jack Hays, Texas Ranger. He never lost a gunfight either and died a natural death. He was previously discussed on this forum in the past. The only problem is that their single action army Colts probably couldn't have withstood the 10mm ammo pressures over an extended period.

Well they did have 40 cals..... 38-40.

30 Brens!  Man, I would love to see and coon-finger that collection.

Omegas are sweeeet guns.  Built tough.  The only thing holding me back on those is the ported barrels.

Maybe your Bren buddy will take 2 Omegas for one Bren.  :

What do you have against porting by the way?  It only bothers when indoors for me until I get used to it.

I went through a phase with ported guns about the same time I was shooting IPSC 20 years ago.

The problem was more the compensators on the pistols in IPSC.  Even though I wore double hearing protection, they permantly damaged my ears more than just hearing  loss.  I delevoped a very debilitating conditition called hyperacusis with lead to daily migranes as well.  I lived in Hell for 12 years  and the last 8 have been somewhat normal  due to the cooperation of a sympathetic physician willing to experiment pharmocologically (no pain meds) following my guidelines.

Obviously ports and compensators don't hurt everyone, just very few if exposed long enough and often enough.

The 10mm has been of interest for a few years but being I no longer reload it's not practical.
