Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger GP 100 10mm for Sale
What is 10mm recoil comparable to?
10mm recoil is roughly 50% stronger than .45 ACP and substantially sharper than 9mm. It produces 10–12 lbs of recoil force with noticeable muzzle rise, making fast follow-up shots more difficult. It exceeds .40 S&W by about 30–50% in muzzle energy.
What are the downsides of a 10mm?
10mm's main drawback is significant recoil, which demands shooter experience and makes follow-up shots slower. Ammunition costs more than 9mm or .45 ACP. Pistol selection remains limited compared to other calibers. Muzzle rise can be pronounced, and some find the cartridge overkill for typical self-defense scenarios.
What is a 10mm Auto comparable to?
10mm Auto delivers muzzle energy nearly twice that of 9mm and exceeds most .45 ACP loads. It's more powerful than .40 S&W, which was developed as a milder alternative after the FBI found 10mm's recoil excessive. In terms of power, 10mm approaches .44 Magnum territory, though it does not match that cartridge.
