Boogieman Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I carried a 10mm for a long time. But with modern bullet technology there's really no reason to carry anything but 9mm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with modern bullet technology there's really no reason to carry anything but 9mm. I prefer the 10 to the 9 but I prefer carrying a 9 to a 10. As far as bullet technology, while it isn't as critical in the 10mm, all calibers can benefit from modern technology and I'd like to see federal design an HST bullet in 180 grain specifically for the 10 mm and load it to about 1150-1200 fps and most important sell it for the same price as a box of 45 ACP 230 grain HST Plus+ P's which is currently $24.99 /$0.50 Per Round at Target sports online. I carry a G23 but would like to carry a smaller 9. I have a KKM 9mm barrel fo rit to shoot the cheaper ammo But the one 9mm I'd really like to have is the G19x if they'd ever make the same exact gun in Black. I like it because how it feels in my hands and most of all I like it because it has no finger grooves AND no front magazine cut-out. I've heard rumors that when they finally make it in Black that it will have the mag cut-out just to piss me off.

Sounds to me like it was an impulse buy and impulse buys are some of the best buys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfdad Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The G17 is a fine pistol. I carry a 10mm but prefer a 9mm or 38spl for a house gun. The G17 is perfect in that role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Beararms Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 i changed up a bit. ‘Went with the Gen. 3 FDE Glock 17 instead of the Gen. 4. This one has the old Tennifer finish and I like the Gen. 3 for 9mm Glocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windowasher Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I prefer the 10mm over a 9mm for power, but I like the 15 cent/round 9mm over the 27 cent/round 10mm, especially when I am shooting 200 to 300 rounds per week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger45 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Got rid of my 10mm G20.4. And really started paying attention to my G21sf and G30sf. Really glad I did that. Most comfortable pistols to fire.I still have G19.3 and G26.3 but rather shoot .45acp.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I don't carry my G20 a lot but I'm not going to part with it either. There is just something really pleasing about 10mm power and every so often I get the urge to take it out to the range and shoot the Hell out of it. Even my G21 doesn't put a smile on my face like the 10mm does and I love shooting my .45's. Edited August 29, 2018 by Citra47 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistolay Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I never even put my hands on a G17 until I disassembled a gen 5 in my armorers class in April. What a sweet pistol! Way bigger than I want to carry (I carry a 26), but I'd love to have the opportunity to shoot one at the range. I've only owned micros and subcompacts, so anytime someone puts a full size in my hand, I shoot the **** out of it. I bet the 17 would be no exception. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyzz Kydd Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Nothing wrong with a 9. I prefer .45, but with the proper ammo and shot placement 9s will get the job done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collim1 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I like .45 myself, but .38’s and 9mm are so darn easy to carry. You are forgiven my son. Enjoy your new G17. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0308 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Basically, if you choose an effective cartridge/bullet, and deliver the shot well, it will deliver results. I prefer carrying a G19, but shoot the G17 just a little bit better. Stay safe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my G21 doesn't put a smile on my face like the 10mm does and I love shooting my .45's.I guess I need to add didn’t have the funds available to get springs and guide rods and load development oh and barrels. I was going to sink so much money into it. Then used my brother reloads in my G21 cut a clover at 15 with little to no recoil, G30 about the same. Conclusion, I’m done .45acp or 9mm for me.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Beararms Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 My distance. vision is still excellent but up close, I need readers. I shoot better with the longer sight radius of a full size pistol so I carry a Glock 22, HK P30 and will carry the 17 after I get some trigger time wifh it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can now refract me to 20/15 and i need readers in a +1 at about 1 foot from my nose. It's been a freakish week. One of the first things I did was look at the sights on my pistol (and i could seem them fine before) and suddenly I can see the ridges on the from ramp of the site. With a scope it appears I can see forever. I was hitting steel plates at 700 yards before. Can't wait to get to the extended range. I was once a decent marksman. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duramaxsky Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) HUH my SO was born in France and she likes 9mm. Good for making holes in paper. I will stay with .40 or .45 for carry. 9mm for cheap practice or just shooting fun at the range. Edited September 26, 2018 by Duramaxsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
