Stopping Power of 10mm Auto

In this week's video, we take a look at the stopping power of the 10mm Auto. We are firing into synthetic ballistics gel at approximate FBI Standards with 180gr FMJ and 170gr and 180gr JHP. We also look at the difference in controlled firing speed, as well as testing penetration in the ballistics gel from a range of 50 meters.
Thanks for watching. New videos post every Thursday!

    Stopping power from a handgun is kind of a misnomer. The the 10mm Auto is a powerful handgun round, especially by the standards of semi-automatic duty pistol cartridges. I EDC a Glock 20, and have for a couple decades now. My first was a Gen III, and I have now supplemented it with a Gen IV. I like to remind people that the 10mm Auto is a duty cartridge first, a woods cartridge second. Too many people these days seem to think of the 10mm as mostly useful for hunting and bear defense. It is adequate for those tasks; I have taken several deer with my Glock 20s and my Underwood 200 gr XTP carry load, and do carry it is grizzly country with 200 gr hardcasts, but it was designed for duty and self defense against two-legged predators, and remains exemplary for that task. That being said, all 10mm ammo is not created equal. Mike McNett probably single-handedly saved the 10mm Auto from obscurity selling his handloads out of his garage in the late 90s, and starting Double Tap Ammunition in the early 2000s. The demand for full power 10mm Auto was always there, and those of us who like the 10mm showed out appreciation to Mike my making him a millionaire. Double Tap Ammunition continues to make some of the best Norma+ spec 10mm Auto ammo you can buy anywhere. Other boutique ammunition manufactures saw the success Mike was having and soon got in on the action. Underwood is perhaps the best known, and they too make some superlative quality ammo loaded to "real 10mm" specs. I think their 180 and 200 gr XTP loads are among the best on the market, as the Hornady XTP seems to handle full power 10mm velocities better than most. These bullets get good expansion, and continue to expand as they drive deep into the vitals. They don't over expand or lose a bunch of their mass, like many JHP designs intended for the .40 S&W. Buffalo Bore and Grizzly Cartridge Co also get in on the action, but I never appreciated how Buffalo Bore loads outside of SAAMI specs and then blames the gun is something goes wrong, and Grizzly Cartridge Co has some quality control issues that need to be addressed. I've gotten some 200 gr XTP loaded by Grizzly that went passed the Lab Radar from a 4.6 inch Glock barrel at 1350 fps. I like a full power 10mm load, but that is for sure dangerously overpressure. Still waiting on the big ammo manufactures to realize the increasing popularity of the 10mm Auto is due to its performance, and anyone who wants .40 S&W level performance already has a .40 S&W. Most of the big manufactures have yet to get on the full power 10mm bandwagon, and it is their loss. Some people are making a lot of money selling full power 10mm Auto, it just isn't them.

I like the XTPs for magnum velocity handguns and have been impressed with their performance and consistency in .357 Magnum, 10mm Auto, and .44 Magnum. They don't open as wide as some, but they expand deeper in the body and do better with full power 10mm velocities than most other bullets. The SIG VCrown is decent; better than most big name brands.

    @@pronewbofficial No. I remain skeptical of gimmicks. I tend to rely on proven technology. A good JHP, like a Gold Dot or XTP, with an established reputation for consistent performance; I tend to prefer controlled expansion and deep penetration, loads most people associate with hunting medium game. I like a load with a momentum of over 30 gr ft/sec, a sectional density of at .16, and an impact velocity that is at least supersonic, preferably by a considerable margin. The goal is to see the body of the wound channel, that portion where the bullet is expanding, go into the back half of the block of gel. Most common police loads in common service cartridges have little to no neck, so they begin expanding immediately on contact, but they have fully expanded and settled down by the time they reach 8 inches into the gel block, and the last half of the wound channel is the tail, where the bullet has settled and has enough momentum to penetrate, but not enough velocity to expand. This part of the wound tends to be narrow and uncomplicated, and in living tissue means the bullet has a good chance of pushing it aside rather than penetrating it if hit at an oblique angle. This means these loads do most of their damage relatively shallow, before they get inside the chest cavity where large blood-bearing structures are. I like rounds that have controlled expansion and enough momentum, SD, and velocity to expand in the second half of the gel block, so they are still actively deforming and chewing up tissue when they get deep in the body. I don't care if they have a little bit of neck before they start expanding, and I don't care if it "over penetrates" by some standards. I just tend to find what works and stick with it. My wife knows what I eat at every restaurant, because I never change or experiment. I know what works for me and I am hesitant to embrace new technology. I've seen XTPs perform on game. I know they consistently provide the performance I am looking for. I am not likely to abandon this chasing the latest and greatest. If I was to experiment, it would be with another JHP with a good reputation for cleanly harvest 300 pound mammals with one round to the thoracic cavity; a Nosler or a Gold Dot perhaps. But heavy for caliber and driven fast, like Jeff Cooper intended from the 10mm.

    This is my personal opinion, I've looked into dozens different 10mm loads, and this is what I discovered. These rounds used aren't even close to full power 10mm. They aren't moving fast enough, hence the over penetration (excluding the fmj). I've noticed when people use subcompact/ compact pistols, 10mm tends to not open up reliably unless you're using lighter and faster rounds. The 180gr should be hitting 1300 fps minimum for reliable expansion. A vast majority of main line ammunition companies selling 10mm load them to 40 s/w specs that's HUGE issue and one present in this video. I know the first three are supposed to be range rounds, but I'd opt for private manufacturers like underwood, or doubletap even for range ammo. These are loaded to the same specs as their defensive JHP rounds. Which is perfect for adjusting to the 10mm full powered for EDC. Personally I'd select 180/165 bonded, the 155 SC-HP from doubletap or the 165 bonded from underwood. These have very nice expansion and all around great performance for a carry round. Just my opinion I enjoyed this video and your content keep it up!

Also IMO, Balistics Gel seems to not give the same results as the Ordinance Gel the FBI used and gives deeper penetration than the real thing. Just food for thought. Did you use 10% or 20% gel?

    To emphasize your point, I suggest comparing Federal 180gr 10mm to Federal 180gr 40S&W, both JHPs, not Hydrashoks. What you will find is the 10mm with same bullet is ~40fps slower than 40S&W. Worse, that Federal 40S&W load is weaker than Winchester, Remington, and Sig loads. However, 10mm from Corbon, Underwood, or even Sig will produce significantly higher velocities than 40S&W with the same projectiles. Also, while gel blocks are very useful for some testing, the velocity and energy cannot be inferred from penetration because bullets can be engineered to expand at different rates and to different degrees.

    As someone who got into reloading about a year before covid I can say it's definitely worth it. Especially if you shoot more than just 10mm. I wouldn't quit any platform based on prices or availability today as it fluctuates wildly due to our current federal administration being a clownshow of ineptitude. While I hate bringing politics into this, things will eventually get back to normal once the democrats are ousted. I've been considering getting a 10mm barrel and spring for my G21 simply because it gives .357 mag level power out of a semi auto pistol. The only reason I haven't made the jump is because I'm already set up for .45 Super which gives similar performance.

    I own a lot of pistols, a lot. My woods carry, camping, hiking etc is and will always be the Glock 20. It'll put bears down, and 16 rounds is a lot of rounds. Would I carry it in the city ? Absolutely not. It's just too much power. It would be like carrying a 44 or 357 , in the city I carry believe it or not a Bersa Thunder Plus, 16 rounds of 380 fmj . I am not poor . The Bersa is fast and accurate. Ask any Bersa owner , see what they say. A glock 20 is a wonderful gun , the Glock 29 is for small humans , with small hands. And the recoil from the 29 is punishing. The other cool factor of the Glock 20 is you can shoot with barrel changes like 7-8 different calibers . With one gun. Peace.

    Great penetration means to me it can break the pelvis, hit the spine, etc. big game hunters in Africa choose penetrating rounds to bring big animals down with good shot placement. But I don’t want a bullet to exit an intruder and go into my neighbor’s house. Any thoughts on 10mm rounds requiring greater maintenance with glocks?

    I can tell you only from my own experience of owning multiple glocks chambered in 10mm that they don't live very long. I have never suffered a catastrophic failure but by the 4 to 5 thousand round mark the recoil system is shot. The spring is done and you notice very heavy recoil and the brass flies at least twice as far as it did when new. I also have noticed more reliability issues at that same usage, perhaps related to throat erosion?? But I have never miked it to see. For what they cost I just go get another one. Thanks for viewing and be safe.

    10mm cartridge manufacturers have upped their game as of late. S&B, which is known as one of the makers of the some of the weakest rounds, has increased the velocity of their 10mm. So has Hornday, which had their 155gr XTP going out at 1265, increased its muzzle velocity to over 1400 fps. Maybe, the ammunition manufacturers have realized their apparent mistake and changed their offerings. Does an increase in velocity to a given JHP bullet, impart more of an ability to rapidly open and dump its energy quicker? I have noticed there is a correlation between velocity and energy dump. In fact, sometimes, the faster bullet doesn't penetrate as far, which is a direct indication the hollow point has violently opened, and thereby transferred the remaining kinetic energy into the media it traveled through. My question is, is someone willing to test my theory with something like Hornady's 10mm, 155gr XTP at both of their manufactured velocities? A cartridge's velocity potential isn't obtained in a shorter barrel, so a barrel of 4.5 or greater should be used. *I am not a carry person. If I do, its with an old S&W 1006. I have a Glock 40 with a 6" barrel, but I haven't tried a way to efficiently carry it. I intend to purchase a Glock 20 with its 4.6" barrel to be my future personal carry weapon.

    Well, in fact it makes sense… the more energy is transfer back to the recoil and into the hand, the less energy is put on the bullet and the less energy is transfer to the recoil the more energy is transfer to the bullet. I think no one has done this… try to fix the gun as static as posible not allowing it to bounce back… just the natural recoil of the gun but not allowing the entire gun to move by any fraction. Just fix it as much as posible and then shoot it then measure the speed, penetration, kinetic energy etc. The difference in speed, etc then is the factor of poor hand grip by each individual.

    My understanding is that clear synthetic gel has a thinner consistency and/or greater plasticity/deformability than brown organic gel. This means that clear gel allows greater penetration than brown gel does. We should reduce the clear gel penetration depths by some sort of correction factor. I've read -20-25% cited most often. So 21 inches in clear would translate to about 16 to 17 inches. And that's very good.

    Not much difference in pistol rounds from .380 to 10mm-you may get better penetration with certain loads or certain calibers or slightly more expansion but for the most part the wound tracks appear to be very similar with all pistol rounds in all calibers. I would say shot placement is key and stopping power is a myth! You stop someone with a well placed shot it has nothing to do with caliber or muzzle velocity and everything to do with reaching vital organs or enough power to make a break in the attack but the 2A is why we have the freedom to protect and defend ourselves as we see fit and we stand United fighting for that freedom to do so and pick our tools for the job, GOD BLESS AMERICA~
