[QUOTE="sea2summit, post: 1917086, member: 105720"] Good stuff. My thoughts. Significantly less recoil is directly related to significantly less power/energy. Just like if you put a .22 LR in a video next to a 10mm. Training will overcome a lot of recoil management issues but it takes training. So train less and us an inferior caliber is what most people seem to favor. Ohh well. Significantly less recoil is directly related to significantly less power/energy. Just like if you put a .22 LR in a video next to a 10mm. Training will overcome a lot of recoil management issues but it takes training. So train less and us an inferior caliber is what most people seem to favor. Ohh well. 10mm 220 grain, it actually gets to 1200 fps out of a G20 (it’s not gonna get there out of a G29) is only 700 ft/lbs of energy. I think anyone here would say that’s not enough for an ethical long range shot, but somehow the argument is that’s plenty for defense of your life against some of the largest game in North America when it’s hacked off? Does not compute. Buffalo bore .44 340 grain is advertised at 1,425 fps but even at 1,300 you’re at 1,300 ft lbs of energy. Basically two to one when compared to 10mm so even if you don’t train a lot all you have to do is get one shot of .44 on target for every two on target the 10mm gets and you are gonna tie at worst. But really that first hit on an actual bear is going to mean way more than any follow up hits...if you get that chance. I challenge any average Joe to a timed run with my .44 against their 10mm where they get two shots of to my one either straight run or from a holster. Just name the target size and distance. [/QUOTE]
