[QUOTE="Les in Wyoming, post: 2629388, member: 115820"] A 10 mm loaded to its intended spec is slightly more than the a typical .357 magnum. But the pistol is lighter and shorter with a longer sight radius for the same length barrel. It also has more rounds (Glock 20 and Sig 320X hold 16 rounds) in a lighter package. It also has a faster reload if you have expended all 16 rounds and are still alive. By comparison, a revolver typically has 6-7 rounds. It is heavier to carry, with a shorter sight radius. If you don't make a good hit in those, it is over. I love revolvers, but I cannot overcome the advantages of a model pistol. Especially since a 10mm can be a bit more than a .357 with a bigger bullet. I have heard of bears taking 5 or 6 .44 magnum hits and keep coming. But the recoil of a .44 magnum can be hard to get accurate follow up shots in a hurry. But 16 rounds of 10 (which are not as powerful but very little recoil by comparison) can be more accurately placed. Just some thoughts to consider in comparison. [/QUOTE]
