I love the 1911 platform but capacity and the small difference between 45 and 9 mm made me edc a 9 mm. I was shocked to find that 10 mm is only a few cents more expensive than 45 so I’ve been wondering if the juice is worth the squeeze or if 10 mm is just an overhyped meme. Are 10 mm guns prone to breaking and with less reliable track records? Is 10 mm a good gun for being in the woods as a sidearm? Or is 9 mm still king?

10mm is best mm. Glock 20 is doing fine.

9mm is a creepy little cartridge that serves no real purpose.

9mm is a round that was picked for financial reasons by departments that has been picked by poorfags for poverty reasons. People who want a good defensive round pick the .40 S&W

Both, depends on what you want to do with it. It suffers from a lack of good loadings with bullets under 180grs due to them almost universally employing .40 S&W bullets way outside of their velocity envelope.
>Are 10 mm guns prone to breaking and with less reliable track records?
Earlier 10mm 1911 pattern handguns did have wear and parts breakage issues like cracked slides on the delta elites IIRC. Supposedly these have been hammered out over the years and frankly im no expert on the 1911 but i'd still expect it to wear faster than a .45 or 9mm one.

This is what 10mm is best at.

Never was unless you're a capacity fag.

10 millimeme 1911s are Appearently amazing. My dad is a glock fag and he went shooting with a buddy who had a 10mm 1911 and he said it was stacking shots.

They are amazing. Wouldn’t trade my SR1911 in 10mm for any 1911 in .45aarp at all.

What 10 mm pistols or rifles would you recommend?

Glock 20 for open carry, glock 29 for concealment... don't get a 10mm rifle, that's really dumb
