The Colt Delta Elite is indeed a classic. It’s a bit heavier, but that helps with recoil management. Plus, it’s just beautiful to look at!

I’m curious about the stopping power of the 10mm. How does it compare to other calibers in real-life situations?

13

From what I’ve read and experienced, 10mm definitely has more stopping power than 9mm. It’s great for defense against larger animals and in self-defense situations.

14

I think anyone who says 10mm is overkill for self-defense is missing the point. It’s all about the confidence it gives you when carrying!

15

I wouldn’t say it’s overkill, but I do think users should practice regularly to be proficient. It’s not the easiest caliber to manage for beginners.

16

When it comes to user experience, what’s the best way to break in a new 10mm? Any tips?

17

I’ve found that shooting a couple hundred rounds through it helps. Just keep it clean and oiled for optimal performance. It’s like a good relationship—needs care!

18

I’m really interested in the Glock 20 in 10mm. The build quality is top-notch, and the trigger feels great! I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback from other users.

19

The Glock 20 is indeed a strong contender! But have you checked the SIG P220? It offers something different with ergonomics that some find more comfortable.
