as I remember it, the reason the FBI dropped it was that many of their agents could not handle the recoil.... fans of the 10 mm tend to be the die hard type, really the 10mm is like the .41 magnum, born out of a desire to make a good compromise between extreme power and being manageable, as well as having a many rounds as possible on tap- add to this the fact that the .357 magnum has something like a 97 percent one shot stop rate when shooting perps- thus what all departments really wanted was a .357 that had near the capacity of a nine milimeter - out of this quest came the .40 s+w , the .357 sig, and even the ill starred .45 GAP- it looks as though of them all the .40 has won out, filling the space between 9mm and .45 with a tenable compromise.... 10 mm on the other hand , is not a compromise so much as what a desert eagle .357 always wanted to be- the glock platform making the best use of this line of thought, as mentioned, if 16 out of a 10mm wont kill it, it is probably a really large bear.... or some kind of suddenly sentient piece of farm equipment.......
