10 mm 5" vs 6"

Been looking for a 10 mm semi auto. Was thinking about a Glock mod 40 long slide 6" bbl but found a good deal on a RIA 1 911 with 5" bbl. Does anyone know what the velocity difference would be between the two? I assume either would be good for wild pigs and self defense against most predators here in the south. If I ever go to bear country I have my 44 mag revolvers.

I think the velocity increase is about 50 to 100fps at best.

Longer sight radius unless going with optics, and extra slide length and weight to better tame recoil. My vote is for the longslide.

10mm

I have a Kimber long slide 10 mm that is my favorite 1911 now. The recoil control, balance and shootability is great. The extra inch does not carry any differently. I would recommend the 6" for those reasons rather than velocity.

Forget 10 mm

Go with 40 Super! I shoot the new 200 Swift at 1400 fps from my custom 6" 1911 at HHC. One shot a 250lbs hog at 60 yards. Double lung shot, ran 20 yards with a massive blood trail and fell over dead! If you are going to hunt with a 10mm use the 180gr swift at 1300fps.

I would be impressed if you got more than 50fps in an inch

45 to 50 fps per inch is the norm.

Depends on bullet weight, The 200 gr is about 30 fps ,

the 150-165gr is about 60-70 fps .Different powders make a difference also. You always get a better powder burn with heavier for caliber bullets.

depends upon bullet and load

as to how good for pigs. The shot placement can be critical,,, depending upon if you want to see DRT or not. I am try to get to test the GDHP in the 165gr? waiting on them. I also would like to see how the new Swift will perform. A question is velocity with the 10mm and the Aframe.
Getting back to subject Keep it under 50yds 40 might be better.
I shoot behind ear 90% and if the pig faces me then it’s right between the shoulders. Those bullets that look like a phillips screw driver are junk. steer clear. XTPs come apart. Hope to also be trying some GT HPs soon.
Winchester’s black talons work. You need to be accurate to drop them.
If you have to aim for the shoulder you will live with how that animal reacts to your placement meaning some run a long ways,,,,, and do not expect to see a very long blood trail.
hair and fat seal up holes, that’s why I prefer an expanding bullet.
Break the spine !

10mm

When i built the first ultimate 10 longslide we shot some double tap 135 gr nosler HPs thru it and we were getting almost 1800 fps. Thats a 41 mag basically.

Kase that's pretty darn fast

About 300-400 fps faster than the ballistics tables I've looked at that have 135 gr projectiles. Were these hand loads? I'd like to see what effect a 135 gr pistol bullet at 1700-1800 fps mv does to a hog.

it was Double Tap ammo. On the box it says

1600 fps in a 4" barrel. So the 1800 fps in a 6" barrel is not out of the norm. And that was chrono'd, not just guessed at.

Not enough bullet Grover. Hog need penetrration

that is about stopping power on thinner skinned critters. It might not even reach the inner cavity on a hog. Then again I can be wrong. For me I'd want a non-HP of at least 180 gr. for a hog. I like two holes, in and out.

I'm not sure if Kase shot one with it but he had that rig at an old, old, HHC in TX in the early 2000's. He and Puffy were having a heck of a firefight with hogs. There was carnage.

that was our Hot & Nasty hunt. Texas in

mid summer and it lived up to his name. Kase shot a big hog up the ass with that 10mm and those lightweight bullets. he hit the hog 3 times and finally finished the hog off with his 378 GNR. But the 3 rounds of 10mm went all the way thru most of the hog and ended up in his lungs. A bit heavier bullet would have probably done a bit better but the 135s at least slowed the hog down enough for a finishing shot. A pic of that hog with bullet holes in his ass is included here. I think we had maybe 15 Misfits at that hunt. It was Hot & Nasty but still a good time. Even got to do some night time hunting out of deer stands.

That was the last animal I shot with a longgun.

.376 Steyr Cooper Scout. Basically a 9.3x64 (bigger 'round than 9.3x62) opened up to .375. It would scoot your glasses down your nose. lol

Greg had a grand weekend! I filmed a sow take a full on .416 Rigby hit and run 100 yds. THEN she swapped ends and tried to get him! I got it all on tape. Greg deep-sixed her with his .410 GNR.

It was a while weekend.
