I guess Starbucks will finally ban guns in all their stores, now.

Any gun is better than no gun, more gun is even better. This is why I am giving the new XDM in 10mm a serious look. Upgrade my current 8 rounds before reload to 16. =)

2004 ≠ 2018.

10mm is much more mainstream now than it was then, when it was nearly considered an exotic caliber. 10mm is all I have carried in the last 15 years except for formal occasions when I don a 380. ;)

What 10mm do you carry? I have a 5 inch Springfield TRP 10mm and like it pretty well, but for a lighter one I’ve been thinking about a Grand Power.

As soon as I get a holster that fits my RIA 10mm I will start carrying it and givet the Delta some safe time. If I feel like regressing I also have a S&W 610 I occasionally carry.

It's not a 10mm, but my 9mm Grand Power is a great little pistol. More folks should buy them so that I can finally get holsters made for it.

I am disappoint. =( I assumed you must be talking about a 10mm Grande Puissance. Google reality-slapped me.
