The Big 10

[Talyn]

The author says one of his good friends is a Montana native and hunts what I call "scary country." During his hunting tenure, he has lost bull elk kills to grizzly bears and has been charged at close range by a bear he was forced to shoot in self-defense. What I thought was interesting, especially after interviewing him about the incident, was the sidearm he chose to carry in the bear woods—a semi-automatic Glock chambered in 10mm Auto. "It gives me remarkable stopping power, is super accurate, and cycles extremely well," he said.

Those reasons pretty much sum up the appeal of this now-classic cartridge, but let’s dig deeper into how the 10mm Auto came to be and what it offers shooters today.

My first 10mm and it's a dream to shoot. Yes, it's a SA XDM-Elite full size. Another range day coming up. I think this time I will bring 7 mags and 2 more boxes of 50 to hold me over.

Loaded properly, 10mm is no slouch, hell, I recently read an article about a guide in Alaska that killed a charging Grizzly with a 9mm loaded with Buffalo Bore hard cast ammo.
It's all about shot placement and capacity
