I know I am a bit late but I didn't know these were even around for a 10mm. I carry either a 1911 or a 44mag depending on where I am hunting or just carrying. This makes me rethink the 10mm for both bear and "bad ppl" Recoil has been mentioned for the 10mm but I don't see a problem. Thanks Hickok for yet another great video.
@Hickok45 Im a little bit afraid about slide slapping (delta elite), when shooting so heavy Bullets, do you think i need to put in a heavyer recoilspring?
I wonder if there is a difference in twist rate between the barrels? From what i understand heavier, longer bullets need a higher twist rate to stabilize.
I believe you are getting the keyholing (tumbling) with the stock Glock barrel because it either a) has too slow a rifling twist, or b) because it's polygonal instead of having standard groove-and-land rifling.
Nice explanation.
I carry a 10mm S&W 1006 for protection against two-legged varmints.
As far as I know the Danish army is armed with a glock 20 in 10 mm when patrolling Greenland because they need to defend themselves against polar bears.
Thanks for this great video! I've been interested in the 10mm for wilderness defense for a few years now (Including for Alaska), and BB as well as DT rounds have naturally caught my eye as well (As has the LW barrel). My Old Man has a sweet Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum that is great for wilderness protection, but it's a family heirloom that he'll later pass on down to me; in the meantime, the 10mm is very interesting (I know of Bush Pilots packing the Glock 20's/29's as well).
I could be wrong, but I think the factory barrel has tighter rate of twist than the LW barrel (10ish vs 16ish?). Given that, I guess it'd have to be rifling contact like you said earlier. Pretty interesting. Really enjoy your videos.
@damian13531 I have Storm Lake and it's the same with it - fully supported chamber, stainless and standard rifling - both good barrels. Hickock rules!
Also if you're thinking about carrying a handgun for a bear, DONT.
To reliably take down a bear you'll need a rifle or a shotgun with some serious slugs.
There is no handgun that can reliably kill an average bear. Yes there have been bears killed by handguns but there have been far more that shot and later were turned in bear scat.
@wtfdudenotcool101 The point is that a sidearm is utilized as a defensive weapon, and it's something you can always have on you. If I want to assuredly knock a bear on its rump, I'll bring along a Marlin 336 chambered in .35 Remington, but unless I'm out on a dedicated trip into notorious bear country or the wilds in general, then there is a good chance that I probably won't be packing it.
@GUMMYBEAYUH Did you mean to reiterate exactly what I said?
If you don't need to kill bears don't take a gun that will kill it but don't act like there's any handgun round ever made that will reliably take down a bear.
That's what my point was. Not sure what yours is...
YOU KNOW I WANT TO WISH HICKOK45 A HAPPY HOLIDAY AND NEW YEAR TO COME. I AM A 41 YEAR OLD SOLDIER IN THE US ARMY, I WANT TO TELL THE WORLD THAT HICKOK " ROCKS " I WISH YOU THE BEST IN LIFE, AND PRAY FOR YOU TO CONTINUE TO MAKE MORE VIDEOS FOR YOUR FANS. IN THIS TIME OF UNCERTAIN JOBS SECURITY. MANY PEOLE LIKE MYSELF WANT TO BUY OUR DREAM GUNS AND CANT AFFORD TO GET THEM, DUE TO LACK OF FINANCES.. BUT YOUR VIDEOS KEEPS US CONTENT, UNTIL WE CAN AFFORD THEM.. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME !!
SO AS I Was Saying MR. Hickok45, I LIKE YOUR STYLE, AND I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FIREARMS FOR OVER 25 YEARS, AND NOW THAT I HAVE DEPLOYED TO IRAQ TWICE I HAD TO SELL MY GUNS AFTER I GOT STATIONED IN GERMANY.. AND I LOVE TO SHOOT. IT IS A FAVORITE HOBBY OF MINE. SO NOW THAT I AM IN FORT HOOD TEXAS, I HAVE MOVED UP TO THE GLOCK 21 SF 3RD GEN.. AND I LOVE IT. 45.CAL ROCKS. I WISH I HAD THE MONEY TO SET MYSELF UP LIKE YOU, WHERE I COULD SHOOT ALL TIME. YOUR SET UP IS NICE.. NEXT ON MY LIST 10MM.
HEY Hickok45 , Wow I Love Your Videos, I AM A SOLDIER IN THE US ARMY. AND WITH A HISTORY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. SO I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH GLOCKS FOR OVER 15 YEARS.. I USE TO CARRY THE 9MM SIG-SAUER ON DUTY IN DETROIT P228, THEN WHEN I HAD A SHOOTING INCIDENT WHERE I HAD TO PROTECT MYSELF AND MY GIRL FRIEND AT THE TIME. I SURVIVED THE SHOOTING BUT I DID NOT FILL TOTALLY SAFE.. SO AFTER THAT I STARTED CARRYING THE GLOCK 22 /40 CAL. AND I FELT SAFE WITH 15 RNDS. OF SILVER TIPS & GOLDEN SABER. CONT
Ah good call, lol I was just reading about that too, as I own an hk p30 which like the glock has a polygonal rifled barrell. Non jacketed bullets are no beuno
@vdub5818 No Glock can't make a barrel that fires one particular type of cast bullet (which they say upfront don't work well) in one caliber accurately. Actually I'm sure they could make one if that was an important enough reason to.
@timsgta Well, I'd say if all the barrels are the same as what he has, if you're looking for longer range accuracy, use the Lone Wolf aftermarket barrel. If you don't care much about accuracy (I don't know why anyone would not care about accuracy...), then keep the stock Glock barrel in.
Again, that's assuming all barrels act just like the ones he had with those specific bullets being fired out of them. Individuals might have differing results though, so it all depends.
@insaneguyXP I believe he said for each Double Tap bullet he bought it cost him about $1 each; that's also counting the cost of shipping and handling.
Awesome video as usual. I am just outside of Knoxville and a huge Glock fan. I rely heavily on your videos for information and inspiration for the sport. Thanks again Hickok!
I think the .500 S&W with a shorter barrel, to go in your backpack, would be pretty effective against a bear. Pretty sure bear skin aint as thick as a lawnmower haha
im really wanting to get a 10mm pistol, and have been looking at a g20, but the kind of shooting i want to do would consist of a bunch of offhand shooting at a 20 yard indoor range. I would, however, want my pistol to be able to perform when i go to the outdoor range. I have read the 10mm have awsome ballistics even out to 100 yards, and i would want to be doing some shooting from a rest at 50-100 yards with my pistol. i was wondering if the g20 would be capable of grouping accuratley?
@Heminick67 I've done some shooting with my .357 SIG Glock 31, and the ballistics are somewhat similar to the 10mm Auto. The grouping at 100 yards is reasonable from a bench, I can hit a 6x6 square and I'm not that great of a pistol shot.
You should check out the 10mm double tap Equalizer. Its a imposed load that stack a hollow point on top of a lead ball. A guy at the range was shooting it out of his EAA witness. each lead ball did seem to hit 1 inch high above the hollow point as promised by the manufacturer.
Would there be a disadvantage with the threading on the lone wolf barrel with the non lead cast bullets? In other words wouldn't it make sense to just keep the lone wolf for all shooting?
I just found your channel bout a week ago and you are my new hero your vids make my day and the info you give will be used well.I love my glock 10 mm and your vids are the best on you tube.Thanks and take care
A good after market compensator like the one made by Lone Wolf reduce the recoil significantly making it as easy to shoot as a 9mm. And having a +2 base plate for 17 rounds makes more room for your supporting hand to control the recoil.
It's really nice of Buffalo Bore to make these. You figure after casting with the gas check and essentially loading by hand, a dollar a shot after shipping is really quite reasonable. Thanks for showing this!!!!
@snoeplow These are Double Tap, but yeah, price isn't bad at all for a load that can equal a .41 Magnum and even some high end/lower power .44 Magnum Bear loads. If I don't have a rifle/shotgun, then I'll take 15+1 or (10+1 where I live) of hot'n heavy 10mm with the ability to reload in 2 sec over .44 Mag. 2-4 hits with 10mm > 1-2 hits with .44 Mag.
Hickok - Any chance you could try out some 9x25 Dillon rounds from your G20, and/or 40 Super from your G21?
@seventhSabra Yeah, I 2nd that about the 9x25 Dillon. It's a crazy hot little firecracker of a round and i would love to see you play around with it. im sure you know more about it then i do. but for everyone else, you can think of it as a 357 sig magnum... with a drop in barrel you can shoot if out of any glock 20 or 29. 115gr at 17500-1900fps.... what are your thoughts about it as a self defence round. other then the kick and sound of the round, strictly on balistics and man stopping power?
@madtoonage I'd need to see some data on 9mm Dillon as a defense round. It's almost 2x the KE of .357 Sig. A 9mm bullet moving at rifle velocity (~2100fps) could over penetrate before it got a chance to expand. I think it's just a super high end target round.
I use DT Barnes Tac XP in 10mm, .45 Auto out of my G30SF or .357 Sig, .40 in my G33 for defense against anything on 2 legs and most things on 4 legs.
I'm literally waiting on you to do another g20 video using swampfox and buffalo bore loads, just not enough 10mm videos on youtube, plus you do great videos.
i like this gun alot.. i have one, but i tell you, it is the worst at making a man flinch.. as shown by your first couple shots, you jerked the trigger quite a bit.
its very hard to not jerk the trigger with this gun.. idk what the difference is.. I can rapid fire a 9mm and hit every shot.. ive had more practice with it but still.
Some of your best shooting!! Looked just like the rest of us up to about 6:26. Maybe I should look into one of those Lone Wolf barrels...and a steadier set of hands.
Double Tap loads the 10mm in a 200gr hardcast. I think that might be a shorter bullet and because of it's lesser length, be less likely to tumble. What's your thinking on that?
@hickok45 I'm guessing that the 230gr should key-hole even MORE in a G29 with a standard, Glock, factory barrel. If you have any more of the Double Tap 230gr you might be able to check that out. I don't have a Glock 10MM barrel. I am waiting for a KKM conversion bbl for my G30. I will keep my bullet weights at, or below, 200gr.
@andrelemalle, I check them in my G29; they did about the same time. Once a bullet is tumbling at just a few yards, there's really no "worse," I guess. It's like throwing rocks. :-)
@hickok45 Handgun bullets tumbeling in just a few yards? Thats odd, ive never heard of that. It must be because of the heavy bullet out of the shorter barrel. The only way around that is shooting lighter bullets or getting an aftermarket barrel with a tighter twist rate, and i dont think the later is possible.
@Southern661, Wouldn't be the length; they tumble in the Glock barrel that is the same length as the Lone Wolf barrel that does just fine with them. It has to be the rifling and/or diameter of the barrel, or bullet.
@hickok45 I also think it is probably the rifling of the stock barrel. I think the octagonal rifling can not get enough 'bite' on the lead bullet to stabilize it enough before it leaves the barrel. The Wolf barrel with the normal/standard rifling obviously can get the bullet to 'spin' and stabilize.
@hickok45 Speaking of which I love glocks I have a Glock 19 9mm, BUT I am looking potentially for a glock to carry hiking in the woods for bear protection. What's your take on 10mm against seriously stopping a bear hickok45? Like the ammo you just displayed? I'm assuming that, that ammo is also safe with a Glock? So do you think that's fair bear protection, does it have enough penetration power to stop a bear? Thanks for your help Hikcok45. (I ask this because I've never fired a 10mm).
What do you think about a 10mm conversion barrel in a G30? I do carry in AK and MT. Until recently I've been carrying custom loads in my 4" S&W 500mag. I don't need to tell you, it is one heavy revolver. I shoot .45acp in 3 of my non-Glock pistols and was considering getting a G30. I know that Lone Wolf & KKM, both make 10mm conversion barrels for the G30.Might be a lighter, andhigher round count option to my 500. Opinion please??
@hickok45 thanks 4 the info.maybe i just really dont know 10mm.in my own opinion,1911 .45 cal. is still the best option.am one of ur subscribers.i got .45 cal hi cap.i enjoy watching your videos.keep it up.MABUHAY!!
@hickok45 looks like u where using the standard glock plastic sights complete garbage get some trijicon hds and or any other quality steel sights and get rid of those plastic slot fillers.
I disagree with what Hickock says about the 10mm being enough to take down a charging brown bear. His point is that if you hit it in the right place, it will be sufficient. But you have to have time to aim. Look up what happened to Greg Brush in Soldotna, Alaska on Aug. 2 of 2009. The 900 lb.bear came exploding out of the woods from only 20 yds. with zero warning and he dropped it with 3 three rounds from a .454 Casull, no time to aim. It was that huge, heavy caliber that saved his life.
@superhornet69 , Geez, I must not have watched this video for a long time; I don't recall him saying the 10mm is enough to take down a "charging brown bear." I would not even trust 100% my .45-70 Guide Gun. :-)
@hickok45 Well to his credit, Hickok does not actually say, "a charging brown bear" but he does say the 10mm would be enough to take down a grizzly. I suppose that is true, I mean I know of a guy that killed a charging grizzly sow in Montana with a 20 gauge shotgun while he was bird hunting. My point is, especially after having lived in Kodiak, Alaska, as far as a bear pistol, I would trust my life to nothing less than a .44 Mag. But then that is just me. Like he says...personal preference.
@hickok45 ...And I really do enjoy your videos, you have a ton of knowledge and wisdom and I hope you continue to pass it on here and keep up the great work! May you guys have an awesome new year.
I just want to say this, and I think I speak for everyone who subscribes to your vids, I think your vids are amazing and you give really good info and action with a multitude of semi-auto's and revolvers. Thank you for creating something worth watching. :)
My first 10mm was a Colt I bought in 1990. Back then, the preferred round was a 200 grain JTC, moving around 1200 fps. That was a very accurate round, and had plenty of stopping power. I carried it in the bush all the time. I'll never understand why the 10mm faded out the way it did. It just seems like the best all around auto cartridge out there.
10mm is between the 357 mag and the 44mag

When walking around the town or city, carry hollow point bullets so they'll expand inside the perps body. Probably 180 grain bullets.

Would there be a disadvantage with the threading on the lone wolf barrel with the non lead cast bullets? In other words wouldn't it make sense to just keep the lone wolf for all shooting?

Hey hickok, I just purchased a Glock 20 for home protection and as a trail gun for defense against black bears.
Which round would you recommend for home defense?
And which would you recommend for bear defense? (Are these 230 grains the best with a Lone Wolf barrel?)
I've checked the gun forums, and they all say different things.
I'd really appreciate it if you could help a guy out.
Money is no issue. For self-defense I don't care if the rounds are expensive.
Thanks a million in advance.

.454 Casull is a round, not a gun.
Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan and S&W 460V are a couple guns that chamber the .454 Casull.

A good after market compensator like the one made by Lone Wolf reduce the recoil significantly making it as easy to shoot as a 9mm. And having a +2 base plate for 17 rounds makes more room for your supporting hand to control the recoil.

Fightnight92 5 months ago
@snoeplow These are Double Tap, but yeah, price isn't bad at all for a load that can equal a .41 Magnum and even some high end/lower power .44 Magnum Bear loads. If I don't have a rifle/shotgun, then I'll take 15+1 or (10+1 where I live) of hot'n heavy 10mm with the ability to reload in 2 sec over .44 Mag. 2-4 hits with 10mm > 1-2 hits with .44 Mag.
Hickok - Any chance you could try out some 9x25 Dillon rounds from your G20, and/or 40 Super from your G21?
seventhSabra 8 months ago 4
@seventhSabra Yeah, I 2nd that about the 9x25 Dillon. It's a crazy hot little firecracker of a round and i would love to see you play around with it. im sure you know more about it then i do. but for everyone else, you can think of it as a 357 sig magnum... with a drop in barrel you can shoot if out of any glock 20 or 29. 115gr at 17500-1900fps.... what are your thoughts about it as a self defence round. other then the kick and sound of the round, strictly on balistics and man stopping power?
madtoonage 5 months ago
@madtoonage I'd need to see some data on 9mm Dillon as a defense round. It's almost 2x the KE of .357 Sig. A 9mm bullet moving at rifle velocity (~2100fps) could over penetrate before it got a chance to expand. I think it's just a super high end target round.
I use DT Barnes Tac XP in 10mm, .45 Auto out of my G30SF or .357 Sig, .40 in my G33 for defense against anything on 2 legs and most things on 4 legs.

berretta92fs9 11 months ago
It's ironic the FBI decided the 10mm had too much recoil for the average officer and yet you handle it very well.
The stock barrel should have done better, I was surprised by the inaccuracy of it.
I guess it wouldn't be wise to hide behind a cement block wall if someone has that big, bad 10mm aimed at it.

Double Tap loads the 10mm in a 200gr hardcast. I think that might be a shorter bullet and because of it's lesser length, be less likely to tumble. What's your thinking on that?
andrelemalle 1 year ago
@andrelemalle , Don't know; I'd like to try them sometime.
hickok45 1 year ago
@hickok45 I'm guessing that the 230gr should key-hole even MORE in a G29 with a standard, Glock, factory barrel. If you have any more of the Double Tap 230gr you might be able to check that out. I don't have a Glock 10MM barrel. I am waiting for a KKM conversion bbl for my G30. I will keep my bullet weights at, or below, 200gr.
andrelemalle 1 year ago
@andrelemalle, I check them in my G29; they did about the same time. Once a bullet is tumbling at just a few yards, there's really no "worse," I guess. It's like throwing rocks. :-)
hickok45 1 year ago
@hickok45 Handgun bullets tumbeling in just a few yards? Thats odd, ive never heard of that. It must be because of the heavy bullet out of the shorter barrel. The only way around that is shooting lighter bullets or getting an aftermarket barrel with a tighter twist rate, and i dont think the later is possible.
Interesting none the less, take care.
Southern661 10 months ago
@Southern661, Wouldn't be the length; they tumble in the Glock barrel that is the same length as the Lone Wolf barrel that does just fine with them. It has to be the rifling and/or diameter of the barrel, or bullet.
hickok45 10 months ago
@hickok45 I also think it is probably the rifling of the stock barrel. I think the octagonal rifling can not get enough 'bite' on the lead bullet to stabilize it enough before it leaves the barrel. The Wolf barrel with the normal/standard rifling obviously can get the bullet to 'spin' and stabilize.
faniesmith 9 months ago
@hickok45 Speaking of which I love glocks I have a Glock 19 9mm, BUT I am looking potentially for a glock to carry hiking in the woods for bear protection. What's your take on 10mm against seriously stopping a bear hickok45? Like the ammo you just displayed? I'm assuming that, that ammo is also safe with a Glock? So do you think that's fair bear protection, does it have enough penetration power to stop a bear? Thanks for your help Hikcok45. (I ask this because I've never fired a 10mm).

What do you think about a 10mm conversion barrel in a G30? I do carry in AK and MT. Until recently I've been carrying custom loads in my 4" S&W 500mag. I don't need to tell you, it is one heavy revolver. I shoot .45acp in 3 of my non-Glock pistols and was considering getting a G30. I know that Lone Wolf & KKM, both make 10mm conversion barrels for the G30.Might be a lighter, andhigher round count option to my 500. Opinion please??

I disagree with what Hickock says about the 10mm being enough to take down a charging brown bear. His point is that if you hit it in the right place, it will be sufficient. But you have to have time to aim. Look up what happened to Greg Brush in Soldotna, Alaska on Aug. 2 of 2009. The 900 lb.bear came exploding out of the woods from only 20 yds. with zero warning and he dropped it with 3 three rounds from a .454 Casull, no time to aim. It was that huge, heavy caliber that saved his life.
superhornet69 1 year ago
@superhornet69 , Geez, I must not have watched this video for a long time; I don't recall him saying the 10mm is enough to take down a "charging brown bear." I would not even trust 100% my .45-70 Guide Gun. :-)
hickok45 1 year ago
@hickok45 Well to his credit, Hickok does not actually say, "a charging brown bear" but he does say the 10mm would be enough to take down a grizzly. I suppose that is true, I mean I know of a guy that killed a charging grizzly sow in Montana with a 20 gauge shotgun while he was bird hunting. My point is, especially after having lived in Kodiak, Alaska, as far as a bear pistol, I would trust my life to nothing less than a .44 Mag. But then that is just me. Like he says...personal preference.

@superhornet69 If you hit the bear with a 105mm round in the leg or shoulder it might not go down! Shot placement is very important.
The same with a human. If they are hopped up on drugs even a fatal head / heart hit might not work. {unless you get the brain stem}
A 22 cal in the brain stem of a bear or human could do the trick!

My first 10mm was a Colt I bought in 1990. Back then, the preferred round was a 200 grain JTC, moving around 1200 fps. That was a very accurate round, and had plenty of stopping power. I carried it in the bush all the time. I'll never understand why the 10mm faded out the way it did. It just seems like the best all around auto cartridge out there.
