10mm Service Pistols

[Win]

Is the Glock 20 the only full sized 10mm service type pistol out there or am I missing some? Thanks for any insight!

You can get 1911's in 10mm.

Used S&W 3rd Gen 1076's appear on the market frequently.

Colt Delta Elite was a service gun, I believe.

Probably the most available and least expensive.

There are revolvers too

The 610 is the only one I am aware of...are there others?

The Ruger Buckeye Blackhawk was made in 10mm & 38-40

Thanks for all the insight and suggestions. When I lived in Colorado I used to love revolvers, now that I live here in Mass. I love semi-autos. I don't know what it is. Culture I guess

Smith and Wesson 10mm's are built like tanks; you can't go wrong.

Go with the S&W models. A Bren-Ten will cost a fortune. Magazines are very pricey and as rare as the proverbial 'hen's tooth.'

EAA made the witness semi auto in 10mm

smith & wesson #1006 was the FBI issue weapon while they ( VERY briefly ) adopted the 10mm as the standard service weapon in the late 80's.

Until you need parts...then you're ****ed (because the S&W 10mm models have been discontinued, as has parts production).

If out-of-the-box reliability, durability, in-the-field maintainability, and the long-term manufacturer support of the pistol is important to you, the Glock 20 and Glock 29 can be recommended.

Is this based on your on experience or is it speculation? There are several really good sources of 3rd Generation S&W Semi-Auto parts available including the factory and the factory will make up special runs of S&W 3rd Generation semi-autos like it did recently for the West Virginia State Police. 10mm might be problematical because of caliber, but then again maybe not. I'd avoid sweeping generalizations unless you can back it up with your own experience. I recently had to get a part replaced for my first generation S&W 39 and had absolutely no problem getting a part.

The 310NG and there is a dual caliber Ruger I am pretty sure.

Are any of the above mentioned revolvers still in production? I would love to get a 610 but it's not listed on Smith's web site catalog.

I think with S&W it can be hit or miss, I had a 686-1 that needed a new rear sight, when I called them about it they shunted me off to some smaller buisiness who deals with older S&W stuff, can't remember the name of the buisiness however.

I bought a 310NG awhile back and ended up selling it to a member here. I think I bought it about 18 months ago.

The 610 is one of those models that only get a production run when they get enough orders and requests to warrant it. Less & less as time goes on. They'll be back someday but who knows when. Buy a used one.
