A few years ago, I published an article comparing subsonic power and recoil of the.45 ACP and 10mm pistols. This article was extremely popular in the gun community. Both handguns are comparable in size, weight and advertised muzzle speed. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each. Make sure to look at the range and speed of each handgun before you make a choice.
A 10mm recoil is comparable to a 357 Magnum
The 10mm's recoil is comparable to that of the 357 Magnum. Both calibers have similar muzzle energy. However, the 10mm has a slight edge in energy while the 357 Magnum has more penetration power and has a longer barrel. There are some notable differences that you should be aware of between the two calibers.
Recoil is the biggest difference between both rifles. If you want to use a 10mm Auto, choose one that has a low recoil. While the 357 Magnum has a greater velocity, the 10mm is faster. The higher the recoil level, the greater the likelihood that you will only get one shot off. The 10mm's small case capacity makes it difficult to use in self-defense in cities.
Subsonic vs. 45ACP vs.10mm
Subsonic loads have similar dimensions and case capacities, but they perform differently. Your personal preferences will dictate which hunting rounds you prefer for concealed carry. It will be easier to choose the right round by understanding the differences between them. There is another difference between the 45 ACP rounds and the 10mm ones. Both can be purchased in single-shot or semi-auto versions. However, single-shot actions are more quiet.
Both cartridges can be used to hunt deer-sized game but the 10mm is better for self-defense. The 10mm cartridge is an effective bear defense cartridge. While this caliber offers higher recoil than the other two, well-trained shooters can handle it without much difficulty. For beginners or to practice marksmanship skills you can opt for a 45 ACP.
Recoil can be more harsh
Both calibers produce similar amounts of recoil, but the impact of the retort is louder with the larger, softer 10mm. The latter also produces less muzzle flash, which is useful in acquiring targets. The recoil energies of the 45mm, 10mm rounds are not significantly different. There is no kick or muzzle flip.
The difference between the recoil of a 10mm and a 45mm revolver is minimal compared to the difference between the two cartridges' flange lengths. The difference between the two revolvers at 50 yards is 0.3 inches. At 100 yards, it is 1.1 inches. But this difference isn’t enough to make the difference between them.
Handguns designed for.45 ACP are lighter and can hold 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. While this means fewer rounds are carried, the heftier bullet of the 45 super can fly faster than the average bullet, so it is better for home defense.
This is not a significant difference. 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. The.45 ACP cartridge has a lower usage rate than the.38 Long Colt. It is still used by most NATO military units.
