- In a previous article, curt@access.digex.com (curt williams) says:
-
- #I keep hearing vaguely worded criticisms of the 10mm cartridge, but I
- #can never get any specifics. I understand that the FBI dumped the
- #10 after having problems. Were these problems:
- # 1) feed problems (possibly caused by FBI-required modifications
- # 2) overpressure problems causing damage to the pistols
- # 3) control problems caused by recoil and/or blast
- #????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
- #Does anyone know the real story?
-
- 4) quality problems caused by insisting on S&W as a manufacturer.

- BTW, there is nothing about 10mm above that isn't also true about
- .40. 10mm is just a .40 with the potential to go hotter.
-
- I wonder why the FBI doesn't just let their agents pick their
- own guns, like some police departments do.
