[QUOTE="sea2summit, post: 1678923, member: 105720"] You took to long and I had to go some repaired steel at the berm. Took my 3-gun go to (Sig 320-X5) and the S&W 629 performance center. 4.5” circle at 21 ft from the low ready. I surprised myself that first round splits were identical at 1.4-1.7...like I said I’m not fast. Only counted “all hits” times and out of eight strings with the .44 I discarded one, with the X5 out of 8 strings I discarded three...because I’m not that good and ten shots is a lot in a string. For the .44 I was 2.3-2.6 for two rounds and my fastest four was 3.6...shooting more than two got pretty unpleasant so I only did it three times. For the X5 my fastest times for 10 was 4.75. This is a 9mm built to go fast and my third rounds barely beat the .44’s second round. So my humble opinion is you’ll never match the power in 2.3-2.6 seconds of .44 with a 10mm. Best case you’ll put about 1 1/4 of the horse power on target and that trusts that a semi auto that’s been out in the elements is going to function 100%. Ohh, and if you let me shoot four times in 3.6 you’d need to hit your 10 rounds of 10mm in the same 4.5” circle I did...if you can do that in 3.6 I’m impressed because it was hard for me to keep 9mm in there even a second slower than that.
