Factory 10mm ammo / Re: 10mm Defense Ammo

Cool.  Just stopped by DoubleTap's site and ordered a couple boxes for experimentation in my G29.  Some 155gr. XP's for carrying and some 230gr. HC's for back country carrying, once I see how well they shoot from my gun.  Thanks again for getting me on the right track, folks.  Never worried about it much with the ol' .50DEP  :o, that'll blow big holes in anything!  Just need to make the little Glock a little more "upwardly versatile."

Thanks Shadow and DAVIDF, great info!  Does anyone know when Underwood might have something in stock, again? :-[

Hi everyone!  I'm new to the forum and was quite pleased to find a good quality site for 10mm enthusiasts, so here goes...  I have an original (at least I assume it is, since I've had it since the model was new, about 15 years or so ago) Glock 29.  To address the thread, I keep it loaded with MagSafe Defenders.  They're a boutique frangible and I'd be interested in any learned feedback from the community.  Secondly, I spend a lot of time in the back country (Wa. Cascades) and have been carrying the G29 more and more for personal defense.  I traditionally carried a great bloody cannon about with me, but I've been lightening my load over the years.  I've read on these boards that many recommend a hard cast bullet for hunting/defense vs. larger game, so here's my question:  Some years ago I purchased a couple hundred Hard Antimony Lead rounds for target purposes and couldn't hit a blessed thing with them, at virtually any range.  My assumption at the time was that it was due to incompatibility between the lead bullet and the polygonal rifling of the G20's barrel.  Was this probably the case and, if so would there be a similar problem with a hard cast (as opposed to jacketed) bullet?  Also, what limitations would the factory barrel place upon bullet/cartridge selection?  Any feedback to the above will be highly appreciated.  Thanks,
-Brooke.
