You can sign me up for a HK USPc in 10mm also. I'd like mine with bar/dot night sights please.

That 45 to 400 Corbon is an idea to consider also.

I converted my Para Ordnance P12 to 400 CB and I have been pleased with the results, but the lower pressured 400 CB loses more in velocity then the 10mm from shorter tubes (comparing my G29 to my P12 in 400 CB and a friends G30 in 400 CB).

In like loads (135 to 135 from CorBon), the 10mm was an average of 65fps faster (1345fps to 1280fps). Is that a big deal? I don't think a BG will giggle maniacly and continue his attack if he's blasted by the "slower" round!

Figure both loads are generating about 500ft/lbs+. With accurate shooting, either load should see us through the day. If not, it is not your day!

Now the only true advantage, IMO, is the capaicty increase that the 10mm offers-10 rounds vs 8 rounds.

So sign me up for the HK USPc duo-tone in 10mm!
