One advantage to the Blackout is that if someone wanted more power and greater range and accuracy over a 10mm at a given moment it just requires a load change making it more versatile in a given role. Such as a quiet range gun to a less quiet more effective gun. To me that solves my conundrum. Plus i have a 309 225gr and 230 gr. mold.
But i do love my 10mm. Because who doesn't? They are cool. In an AR platform or PCC I've longed for. But not as much as i did. My pistol is not one where the mags will likely ever interchange like Glock mags in my Ruger PC. I would have to justify selling My Elite match 10mm or purchasing another 10mm Glock in order for me to get a 10mm PCC. Oh no...that's 2 guns...and i stop myself. Since i carry a 9mm...i just stick to the Ruger and the G19 and spend my money on another Savage heavy barrel target gun.
One more note worth thinking about is load. Although i believe it was mentioned already, a subsonic load must be subsonic in a longer barrel. So fast powder is a must to get function and prevent the increased velocity associated with many slower burning 10mm powders.
