I don't see what advantage the 10mm has over the .45 except for hunting. If you want to hunt with a handgun, you'd be better off getting a .44 mag or better. .44 ammo isn't much more expensive than 10mm. Don't get me wrong, I like the 10mm, it just seems to be not very practical IMHO. I bought a 657 .41 mag years ago. The gun shot great, it was neat to be a little different, but it just wasn't a .44. I sold it and got the .44, because ammo is easier to find and I think the .44 is superior in every way. If you insist that your new purchase has to be an auto, go for it, but I just don't see a practical advantage it has over the .40 or .45.
