10mm

does anyone know where i might get a 16 in barrel for a glock 20 ????? or will a 16in even fit in a glock? I own two 10mm handguns and have thought that a 10mm carbine would be AWESOME.

Ive got a kimber tle II in 45, is it possible to change the barrel
to convert to a 10mm, or should I sell and get me a 10mm?

I have a Kel Tec 2000 in 40 using Glock mags, great gun!! However would love to have a Kel Tec or something like it in a fold up style for back packing, hiking etc.. It just seems that no one seems to remember the 10mm when they come to making these great little carbines. I have seen the Mec Tec and since its the only thing out these beside the Victory arms 10mm in a MP5 formatt $$$$ in my price range. I am sure many of you have seen the 16 inch barrel for the 1911 along with its wooden stock. Great Idea! could the same idea apply to a glock 20 or 21
The question is, If I had a 16 inch barrel made for my glock 20 10mm,and then used lets say the RONI, would the barrel need any extra support like a bushing or something so that the accuracy would not be compromised? The bigger question, Would it even work? knowing that the barrel in a Glock kicks upward slightly during the cycling process. And would the Glock offer enough support for a 16 inch barrel to act as free floating??
Thoughts anyone?????

What are the practical advantages of the 10MM over the .38Super?

Thanks

Thanks chris.

I saw a post on here recently and it was talking about the 10mm, it had pictures of all the different calibers and it looked like the 10mm was a lot bigger than the 9 which I didn't expect. I don't know much about the 10mm, but I was wondering if anyone knew the average price for the ammo. Also what size would it be in between? It looked like it could have been bigger than the .357 and .45 but I don't think it really was, just longer or something. Anyways, I was just wondering how the ammo compared to the 9mm.

I am not sure about that model, but if it is an alloy framed one, stay away from the 10MM. I know that GLOCK has a poly frame, but they seem to hold up. If it is not alloy have a good pistolsmith fit a new barrel and slide to it. Reason being is that the 45 ACP has a bigger rim diameter, and the extractor would need to be modified. you will not be able in other words to have one slide to shoot both 10MM, and 45 ACP out of.

Breech face & extractor spaceing dimensions are larger on .45 caliber slides then 10mm slides, i.e. just swapping out barrel and magazine is not going to work reliably.

Rather then sell your Kimber outright, you might give the customer service folks at www.brownells.com a call.

At one time they sold replacement 40Cal./10mm ( the slide dimensions for the 10mm and .40 S & W are the same ) slides, barrels and magazines for the 1911. If they still stock them? It would be only a matter of replacing the ejector at the most, to convert your Kimber to a 10mm. This way you would still have your .45 ACP top end. .45 Auto ammo is easier to get and cheaper then 10mm. My 2?.

...I'm pretty sure it can be done, for enough money....maybe enough money you could just buy a nice 10mm and avoid the hassle.

...Dan Wesson makes a 10mm...not as good a gun since CZ bought them IMO, but a quality gun.

...Kimber made the Eclipse 10mm but the price is absurd when you can find a very nice Colt Delta Elite 10mm for a LOT less (some), and the Colt wont depreciate like the Kimber.

...The DE's have only climbed steadily in value, and continue to do so. First year runs (1987) of the DE's had a problem that was WAY overblown; but Colt still fixed the problem with a very small simple cut to the slide after the first run. There was the possibility that there could be a crack develop, maybe, once in a blue moon. ALL other"bad" things you might have heard about the DE are myths.

...The DE is a fantastic gun and the 10mm is an awesome round, VERY flat shooting (great hunting round!) and potent. Plenty of factory rounds to choose from, mild to wild...and mostly from Double-Tap.

...The FBI chose it as their issue gun but the female agents complained about the recoil, as all the loads for the 10mm back then were HOT. The 'fix'"?? The FBI had their armory dept. work up a 10mm load that was FAR less balistically than the .45!!!! So...in their infinite wisdom they felt THAT round was not potent enough, DUH, and dropped the DE.

...Rounds that are below and equal to the 45 in ballistics, or rounds that approach the ballistics of the .357, not the .357 sig...the .357 mag...I love my DE and the 10mm round...[:p][^]

Colt,

You state"...The FBI chose it as their issue gun but the female agents complained about the recoil, as all the loads for the 10mm back then were HOT. The 'fix'"?? The FBI had their armory dept. work up a 10mm load that was FAR less balistically than the .45!!!! So...in their infinite wisdom they felt THAT round was not potent enough, DUH, and dropped the DE."

I was not aware that the FBI had DE's. I thought it was all the 1076 S&W's that there seem to be a few of out there?

EDIT:
Colt...I was just asking if the DE was in fact an FBI issue. I was not trying, nor will I ever try to correct your affection for Colts. I do have an fondness for them and Winchesters also.

...Thanks for correcting my poor use of the english language DUDE, I'll keep an eye on yours from now on................, KIDDING!!![:D]

...What I was "thinking" and what I wrote, did not come out the same.
...Taken "in" context". you can see what I meant, just said it poorly. I should have said "the FBI chose the 10mm as their issuegun",...the way I used "it", left it up to anyones interpretation, sorry...I stand head bowed, humbly corrected before all....head down, right foot drawing semi circles in sand....[:D]
