I've always really liked the 10mm caliber, since the Bren Ten caught my interest as a young man. For a very brief period, I owned a hybrid Bren/CZ custom that a gunsmith in Virginia had built from CZ 75, Peregrine, and Bren parts.
When the gun shot, it was a pleasure, but because it was a hybrid, small things had a tendency to fail, and it was a major crapshoot to get it going. I shot maybe 450 10mm rounds of out the gun before selling it to a Bren collector who took it apart and used it for spares.
Basically, I understand the 10mm round, and while I liked it, I also like the .32acp, the .40 S&W, and the .41 Magnum- however, I don't own any of those.
I've come across a smoking deal on a Dan Wesson Bobtail 10mm as well as an equally good deal Dan Wesson Bobtail .45 acp.
I already own 2 Dan Wesson's .45's, but I wouldn't rule out owning another as I don't own a Bobtail.
Basically, I'd be interested in hearing from people who own or have owned both 10mm and .45acp guns, especially( but not limited to) 1911 clones. I'd like to know what the 10mm offers to them, and why they own it versus another .45acp or other gun.
I had planned on giving my dad my Pointman Panther if I buy the Bobtail .45acp, so I'd still have a pair of .45acp's. I'm just still on the fence whether to go with a 10mm or another .45acp.
Thanks,
Vaughn
