If you are thinking about the 10mm you might want to start looking tomorrow unless you are fond of CCI Blazer.

That settles that!  I will look, though.

Strongly identify with kjtrains buying ammo first; something I have done multiple times in my gun collecting. In fact, I bought a box of 10MM before I got the Glock 29.

I was motivated by the Bren Ten; a gun I pursued but never found. When Glock came out with the model 29, I decided to see how the cartridge performed and enjoyed it for a few years.

I am also fascinated with old hyphenated cartridges and I bought a box of 25-35 prior to finding a vintage Model 55 Winchester in that caliber. Ditto, .327 magnum, before I found the Ruger SP101, which, at the time, was new to the market.

Buying ammo for a gun you do not own is kind of like buying a suit to match your tie. However, by purchasing the ammo for a gun not yet owned, I found it a mechanism to channel the purchase of the gun "to fit the ammo already purchased"; wink, wink.

The ammo purchase first is definitely an avenue, for me, to make a more serious venture into getting the weapon.  It's worked for me on most every gun I have.

The gentle persuader to culminate the gun purchase; I try to do something similar in buying the best sporting equipment to spur me on to use it.

I going to check Bass Pro Shops here in Ga. for the 10mm.  We'll see!

My crystal ball sees a Glock 29 in KJ's future.

kjtrains: I am not a naysayer but you already have the Glock 33, in .357 Sig. 10MM is more powerful than .357, (an excellent cartridge and superior to the .40S&W), but do you really need the Model 29?

I am your conscience. Pay no attention to what I have written if the butterflies in your belly supercede my thoughts.

ACP.  It's just one of those "want" things.  I like powerful stuff.  You're right.  Don't really need it.

I find it so much easier to be someone else's conscience than my own.

kjtrains, if you like power, than you will love the g29.

Well, I have the Glock 33 .357 sig and have just read that the .357 sig comes very close to the .357 mag, but the 10mm does not.  Says in velocity maybe, but actual delivered power, no.  With that being said, I will hold pat on the 10mm for now.

Oh come on, KJ; I was looking for another virtual experience--check out the HK MP10--might get you stoked up.

I agree.  Does work much easier!

Tracker.  I'm sold on the Glock.  Don't know the first thing about the HK MP10.
