GLOCK 10MM

[maxmayhem]

Why does glock have the 10mm under the hunting tab?
What can you hunt in Indiana with a 10mm?

I have heard that the 10mm might be effective in a pinch against a bear but this isnt exactly hunting but being hunted.
I think you could hung coyotes with any pistol but not sure I want to hunt with any pistol

There was a video floating around either on here, or Glock forum, showing people hunting with Glocks. They were taking out deer with the 10mm. It was a pretty cool video too. Cant remember the name of it, but I'm sure someone on here that knows the video I'm talking about will probably post a link.

deer hunting with 10MM

Yes, I am sure that would work but is it legal in INDIANA?

Oh Im sorry, I forgot to mention that I have no idea about that. I won't even try to tackle that question. I dont want to give out any wrong or bad info, but I'm sure someone on here knows the laws well enough to give a solid answer.

In Indiana you can't legally hunt with any 10mm, rifle or handgun. Other states allow deer hunting with the 10mm because its more powerful than a 357 mag. Different states have different rules.

The 10mm is pretty popular for hog/boar hunting, where legal anyway. A buddy of mine took a 265lb boar in TN a little earlier this year with a G20. In other states, it's legal for deer.

Good lord, thats a big @*s boar! I'd like to see a pic of that!

 

[Boomstick]

you could legally squirrel hunt with it

I think Uncle Ted has a 10mm Glock he hunts with

The problem with the 10MM is that it got water down It's no longer a 200 gr. traveling at 1200 FPS now most 200 gr. load barely reach 1050 FPS, unless you reload, you're not going to be happy with the 10MM

On one of his shows I recall him killing a buffalo with it....and a boar on another.

There are some factory full power loads still out there but they are spendy, like Buffalo Bore

 

[bigjross2002]

Its really unfortunate that 10mm isnt legal in Indiana. I believe that its close to a .41 magnum in power. I have been chomping at the bit to possibly get a STI perfect 10 to supplement my Glock 20. The price tag is alittle steep on it though.

 

[Harley46982]

I like that STI gun had a hard time deciding between that and my Wilson Combat.

Unless you buy from Double Tap:

DoubleTap Ammunition

200 grain lead flatpoint at 1300 fps, out of a G20.

or Buffalo Bore

Heavy 10mm Pistol & Handgun Ammunition

That's 220 grain at 1140 fps out of a G20. Probably about 1200 fps if you get the aftermarket 6" barrel for the G20 that a lot of hog hunters use.

 

[Harley46982]

I'm planning on using the 180 grain Buffalo Bore this fall on a hog hunt in TN.

I remember having a video of Ted Nugent who shot a Cape buffalo (black death) with his bow...when tracking it down, as he was walking up on it it stood up and started to charge him and the camera guy.....Ted drew his 10mm Glock and started unloading....dropped it...good enough for me considering the cape buffalo is one of the most deadly animals in Africa

This guy up here in Alaska killed a black bear with the Glock 20 and 230grain hardcast Double Tap about three weeks ago, here's the thread where he talks about it (He was hunting it, not self defense):

10mm, wounded bear, and 5' tall ferns=dead bear

He's got some pics near the end of the thread

Unless you buy from Double Tap:

I don't buy from Double Tap. I wrote of my experience with their incompetence and lack of caring about their product here:
https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...caution_if_you_have_10mm_from_double_tap.html

Starting at post number 7.

This was not just an isolated problem, this was happening to other folks as well and the company apparently didn't care about what was either **** poor quality control or deliberate outright fraud.

I still have the two boxes I bought that have the problem, minus the few rounds I shot or pulled.


As far as hunting with 10mm, it's gaining popularity. The stock G20 is plenty accurate enough and with proper 10mm rounds it has far more energy than a .357magnum. With a 6" LWD barrel and/or a long slide also available from LWD, it's an awesome hunting pistol. Indiana doesn't allow it for deer because of the arbitrary case size restrictions, but it's more energy than many of the pistol rounds currently allowed. Many other states do allow it for deer hunting, and it has been picked up as one of the best inexpensive autoloaders for hunting.

You can use it for hunting most other animals in Indiana and I know one guy who hunts coyotes with it. If the mythical wild hogs ever appear in my corner of the state I plan on using mine for hunting it.

The DNR equipment regulations below (reprinted from the 2010-2011 DNR deer hunting guide) do not specifically address the legality of deer hunting with the 10mm, but they do list the cartridge requirements along with some specific examples of legal and illegal handgun cartridges. I am wondering if hunting with a 10mm is actually prohibited. Is the 10mm cartridge case not 1.16 inches? Maybe I am missing something here.

"Handguns for deer hunting: Handguns,
other than muzzle loading, must have a
barrel at least 4 inches long and must fire
a bullet of .243-inch diameter or larger. The
handgun cartridge case, without the bullet,

bullets are not permitted.
Handguns are not permitted on any military
areas.
Some types of handgun cartridges legal
for deer hunting include .357 Magnum, .41
