He pointed-out that in the USA -"Double Tap" make and advertise two duplex loads for the 10 mm cartridge. One load is a bullet and ball, while the second loading is a twin projectile version. I had no idea that there was anyone making commercial 10mm duplex loadings.
- Their 190gn Equaliser round consists of a 135gn JHP projectile loaded in front of a 55gn solid. They say that the 'solid' consistently impacts a little higher than the JHP ( two inches at 10 yards).
The recent 'American Handgunner' magazine (Sept/Oct) that I bought ran an article on 10mm guns - Apart from the Glock G20 - it seemed to consist of a list of 1911 "also-runs" complete with pretty photographs of half a dozen pricey semi-custom chequered grips and extended 'beaver-tails' that may (or may not) survive having a few boxes of 10mm ammunition run through them.
- Pretty toys but.. You could even buy a set of 10,000 year old Mammoth Ivory Grips for your 1911 10mm (for only $450) - consider how that might improve your effectiveness.
- The best of the lot seemed to be conversion on a Ruger Blackhawk built by Hamilton Bowen.

- There is some impressive choice of guns and gear in America - that you'd need to be very patient and insistent with our regulatory authorities here in New Zealand - before you might get your hands-on an example here!
SIG-Sauer have announced recently that they will be releasing a 10mm version of the SIG 220 in January next year - and it will be made in both D/A and single-action only versions. - with any luck at all we will have an alternative to the Glock G20 to compare the best calibre handgun cartridge performance.

P.S.
- I read online that Kel-Tec are making a new high capacity pistol - The Kel-Tec PMR-30 in 22 Magnum (.22"WMR) that uses a THIRTY round 'double stack magazine.
- This announced WMR-30 gun is generating a lot of comment on the gun webs for multiple reasons.
- It seems that it is both very good & very bad, needs a careful procedure to load the magazine if you want it to work, that it is very ammunition sensitive, & that the WMR ammo costs as much as 9mm, - Dealers are charging big bucks for them, etc. etc. - and the ultimate turn-off for some, - it's made of plastic!
- Sounds like my kind of toy - provided it works and I could afford the ammo. - Like I've admitted before - I seem to have no taste!
