Ruger 10MM revolver

[billybob44]

10mm has a cult like following, that currently seems to be gaining popularity. It's too soon to tell if this is a fad.
However, your hard core 10mm followers will usually reload due to the cost and availability of 10mm ammo. When you reload the 10mm it's easy to attain pressures that would be very abusive on many auto frames,(but still safe) and the revolvers can easily handle these pressures.
It's also fun to see the reaction people have to revolvers but, that may quickly fade.
Edit: 10mm revolvers accept moon clips also making it popular in some competitions and, it will shoot 40 S&W, which to me is pointless.

^^^Have you seen the amount of .40 S&W brass that is almost rolling down the street at most every range??==Dirt cheap/free brass for just messing around..Bill.

Very good point, I've got a bucket or two of it myself, and I shoot and carry 40 everyday.
Shooting 40 S&W from a revolver requires a little more work when cleaning the cylinder because of the "jump" the bullet makes when fired. If this is not addressed it can cause issues when you go back to shooting 10mm out of that cylinder.

Maybe not as pointless as a 10mm in a revolver in the first place, though.

10mm is a great semiauto round, but it's a weak sister compared to every other caliber that the Super Redhawk is chambered in.

Not something I'm interested in, but I suppose a lower recoil way to shoot hot 10mm. All that weight should make it a fairly tame shooter.

As for me, *meh* but each to his own.

If it was in the GP 100 frame I'd pick one up for sure!

It's a shame that the market is so gun of the moment. its going to get harder and harder to find good starter and frames to build bullseye guns when the classic revolvers finally are gone. If they would make enough of the 9, 40, 10mm revolvers that people could start using them in the matches we could get 40 moved into the 45 class and use 9mm for centerfire class. It would be nice If you could get some 9mm and 40/10mm in true bullseye class accuracy

I don't at all disagree that the Super Redhawk is a behemoth platform for the 10mm, but it is exciting to see manufactures taking notice in the demand the market has for the caliber.
I would think others will notice and follow the money.

I could see it in this platform....The old "Redhawk" rather than "Super Redhawk" in a snub nose or 3 inch barrel..

How soon before some revolver only 10MM loads are developed?

A 10mm in something like that could make me lay down a little cabbage at the local gun shop.

About ten minutes after I get mine.

I have some special 10mm nuclear rounds that only get shot through one gun. I have two such guns each with their own rounds.

I'm betting I could drive them hotter through the revolver, there's plenty of case capacity left even with my nuclear rounds.

My favourite revolver is Ruger GP100 - I think it`s amazing firearm

 

[hopper68]

I'm liking it. However I wish it was on the gp100 frame!

I wonder why they made it on the Super Redhawk, and not they GP100? I guess they figured they have it in .44 Special, so why make it in 10mm?

Needed to be a GP100 frame

I hope so, I need one badly.

If it was in the GP 100 frame I'd pick one up for sure!

Ruger is listening

They will bring it out in other frames at time goes by. Just wait a while.

The time is now, just wait a bit before it hits the stores.

Ruger GP-100 "Match Champion"  10mm Double-Action Revolver

Needs a 38-40 cylinder to go with it.

I love my Match champion in 357. May just have to get the 10mm version just so the 357 won’t be lonely no more. Lol.

^^^This^^^

Plus one other point - Since it uses moon clips, I would ream it out to 10mm Magnum. It has the strength and cylinder length for it, plus then it would be able to shoot 10mm Mag, 10mm, and 40 S&W all with just the one cylinder - pure Mad Max style awesomeness!

ETA: I've been really tempted to get one of these guns just for the 3 caliber factor once reamed out, even without the pipe-dream 38-40 cylinder that would make this bad boy a 4 caliber gun.
