A few years back, I wrote an article that compared the subsonic and recoil capabilities of the.45 ACP handguns and the 10mm. The article garnered a lot of attention from the gun community. They are almost identical in terms of size, weight, advertised muzzle velocity, and overall weight. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each. It is important to take into consideration both the speed as well as the range of each handgun before making a purchase.
A 10mm recoil can be compared to a Magnum 357 Magnum.
A 10mm has a similar feel to a 357 Magnum's recoil. The muzzle energy of both calibers is similar, with the 10mm having slightly more energy and the 357 Magnum having more penetration power and a longer bullet. There are some notable differences that you should be aware of between the two calibers.
The recoil is the most significant difference between the rifles. A 10mm auto should have a low recoil. The velocity advantage of the 357 Magnum is greater than that of the 10mm, but the recoil level will be lower. The higher the recoil level, the greater the likelihood that you will only get one shot off. The smaller case capacity of the 10mm also limits its use for self-defense in cities.
Subsonic vs. 45 ACP vs. 10mm
Subsonic loads can be very similar in size, case capacity and performance. Your personal preferences will dictate which hunting rounds you prefer for concealed carry. You can choose which round to use by knowing the differences between these two types of ammunition. Other than the difference in bullet size, there are also differences between the 45 ACP cartridges and the 10mm case. They are available in both single-shot, semi-auto, and dual-shot options. However single-shots are quieter.
Both cartridges are useful for hunting deer-size games, but the 10mm is ideal for self-defense. The 10mm also passes as an effective bear-defense cartridge. This caliber has a higher rate of recoil than the others, but well-trained shooters are able to handle it. For beginners or to practice marksmanship skills you can opt for a 45 ACP.
Recoil is harder
Both calibers have similar recoil but the larger, more soft 10mm produces a louder retort. The latter also produces less muzzle flash, which is useful in acquiring targets. The recoil energy for the 45mm round and the 10mm round is similar, as well as the muzzle flip and kick.
The difference in recoil between a 10mm revolver and a 45mm revolver are minimal when compared to the differences between their flange lengths. At 50 yards the difference between the revolvers is 0.3 in. and at 100 yards it's 1.1 in. But this difference isn’t enough to make the difference between them.
Handguns chambered for.45 ACP carry fewer rounds
Handguns that are chambered for.45 ACP or.45 Super have a different bullet. To achieve higher speeds, the 45 super uses thicker casings with a higher pressure powder. Even though this means that less rounds are needed, the 45 Super's heavier bullet can fly faster than any other bullet. It is therefore better for home defense.
The difference is not important. Gen. John T. Thompson opted for the.45 ACP ammunition after the.38 Long Colt pistol had failed to impress him during his Philippine-American War. Furthermore, the.45 ACP cart is more common than the.38 Long Colt which is used by most NATO armies.
FAQ
Can I bring my dog with me?
Most states prohibit dogs from being hunted together with humans. However, certain states have laws that permit this practice. You can check with your state's Department of Natural Resources to see if this practice is allowed in your region.

However, it is possible to have problems with bringing your pet. Dogs will chase away animals from their hunter. Also, wild animals may attack the pet.

According to the USDA, about 6.5 million Americans hunt deer. Of these, only about 2.2 million actually shoot one.
This means only 0.6% of all hunters will kill a deer each and every year.
