The maxed-out loadings are typically for hunting and protection from dangerous game. For the. People who want to shoot lower power ammo out of a. So how does the.

In most comparisons of these two cartridges the writers seem to work hard at making the Sig come out on top by cherry picking ballistic stats in its favor. We tested both.
They expanded to around 0. The muzzle velocity for the 9mm was FPS. The gr HST in. The rounds expanded to about 0. Compare this to the. However, there is one HUGE advantage to. Because it has, there are a lot more guns for it. Not just revolvers and rifles, there are even semi-auto magnums, as pictured here:. Because there are more guns, that means that there is also a lot more manufacturers making ammo for them. Because this is true, it helps to keep prices lower because there is more competition.
In conclusion, the Magnum is a tried and true cartridge. It has a lot of different uses from self-defense to hunting, and is versatile. The cartrdiges themselves can be loaded to the extreme to achieve excellent ballistics for any application.
That said, the SIG is a great defensive tool, as well. If you can find a gun and some ammo for it, the extra capacity given from the SIG cartridge affords a lot of defensive firepower. But it comes at the loss of more expensive ammo that is also hard to find. I compare 9mm vs SIG in that article.

T he idea of the 10mm cartridge was originally conceived by Jeff Cooper, himself a. It centered around a cartridge that would outperform the. The target velocity was at least 1, feet per second. But no handgun at the time could handle such a powerful cartridge. The three collaborated, with the two businessmen on the engineering side of things and the handguns expert acting as an independent consultant. Their efforts led to the creation of the Bren Ten handgun. Afterward, they went to Sierra to make.
They chose to modify. With everything loaded in, the overall length of the cartridge went up to only 1. This first batch was called the 10mm Bren. The businessmen needed the ammo mass-produced so they approached a few ammunition makers but were turned down by every single one of them — except by FFV Norma AB now Norma Precision , a Swedish ammunition manufacturer. Later that same year, Norma Precision started producing the 10mm.
Michael Dixon christened it the 10mm Auto, but the purists refer to it as the 10mm Norma. In , the FBI included the 10mm Auto in their handgun ammo tests as a possible replacement for their then standard issue 9mm after two of their agents were killed and a few others were severely wounded during what is today considered one of the bloodiest armed confrontations in the history of law enforcement: the Miami Dade Shootout.
As a handgun caliber, the 10mm was deemed a little too powerful. They down-loaded the cartridge to lower velocities but even in its crippled version, it still outperformed its competing calibers. Ultimately this would result in Smith and Wesson developing the. The 10mm would then fade to near obsolescence. They called this cartridge the. Not much is known about the. As it was designed to be a semi-auto cartridge, the. But strangely, the caliber never caught on in the civilian market in terms of popularity.
For anyone who had to skip the history section for some reason, the most important takeaway from it is that the. How do we define success? Unlike the. Bullets for the.
