we were talking recently about the "experts" that

gunsamerica and gunbroker use on their web site to report on new guns. The "expert" for gunsamerican that did a report on the new Cimarron 10mm informs you that the 10mm is better at handgun hunting than a 44 Magnum, and as a hunting handgun "it rocks" (he obviously is at least 18 by his gun terms). He obviously has never used the term "rim" on a cartridge, calling it the edges at the rear. Gunsamerica could have done better...here is part of his article..

Out on a ranch, where a coyote opportunity may be very brief, and where you just don’t need the extra power of a .44 Mag for even large hogs, a 10mm is kind of just perfect.

In a revolver the 10mm can be a problem though, because it has a rimless case, meaning that it does not have a protruding edge at the back. In a magazine, you don’t want those edges because they can stack up on each other. Bun in a revolver, those edges are handy, because they hold the cartridge at the back of the cylinder.

For rimless cases, in a double action revolver, where the cylinder swings out, generally you have to use “moon clips” to hold the cartridges at the back, or the gun has to have some kind of built in retention system.

In a single action, where the cylinder stays in the gun, and you load and extract through a loading gate, none of this is a concern. You just drop the 10mm cartridges in as you would a .44 Mag, .38 Special, or any other rimmed case.

The MSRP on the Cimarron’s 10mm Bad Boy is $726.05 (I don’t know if that extra 5c is a wooden nickel or not), On GunsAmerica the existing .44 Mag Bad Boys are just north of $600.
