I have a G22C (10mm lite) I really like the follow up with the comp. Have you shot it at night? this gun is my everyday carry and I like Federal HST for carry, as the flash isn't so intense at night.  good vid

@gunforhire8 Thank you, I don't get many comments on this video. I've shot bowling pin competition at night and load flashy powder like Power Pistol and Blue Dot for full effect. Everybody knows when the 10mm comes up to the line!

Just ordered 200 rounds of Fed 180 HST in .40 for carry after seeing tnoutdoors9's ballistic media testing with that excellent round. Glad to hear that it doesn't flash too much. It is a law enforcement cartridge so that makes sense.

@theKGB65 Have you tried Accurate Arms #7 or #9, or IMR Hi-Score 800X yet?

I find that either of the two AA powders mentioned here give me max velocity.

I consistently push 155 grain Speer Gold Dots out at 1350 fps with either.

@PinkOld Accurate #7 is one that I use for 5.7x28mm and my main staple 9mm 147gn powder but I haven't tried it in the 10mm. I don't push the 10mm too hard because I'd like to avoid early retirement for my precious brass. Don't get me wrong, I'm not loading them to .40 S&W spec's like most ammo manufacturers do.

It would be fun to work up a few experimental loads for max using your recommended powders in the S&W 1066 just to see what a "real" 10mm feels like.

the thing I like most about that 20c, is the nice big fireball that shoots outta the top of the gun haha, nice vid

[theKGB65]

@zazszdzfzgzhzjzkzlzx Thanks, that makes both of us. Handloading with Alliant Blue Dot intensifies the effect.

@theKGB65 The best way to get a good idea of what to expect is to read the data manuals' listings of pressures with each powder.

I started with Blue Dot in my 1006, and it worked pretty well, but I was able to get max velocity with reasonable pressure levels using AA #7 or #9, both of which seem to almost custom made for the 1006.

My 10mm is the massive S&W 1006, and it actually does its best with full power loads.

FBI loads may not reliably cycle that big, heavy slide.

A GREAT gun!

@glock2026 Agree with everything you said and I use the same recipe for most of my shooting. Love to handload Hornady 180 XTPs with Blue Dot for an awesome fire-show during the evening bowling pin matches!

I have a 20c glock , only gun glock makes that needs a compensater. i.m.o. I had a glock 20 ,and traded in for glock 20c after i felt the difference in my glock to my buddys 20c . I think its worth extra cause follow up shots are quicker with comp mdl. I reload ammo for mine ,180gr bullet and blue dot powder the best in 10mm.

@woods9233 Blazer 200s are listed at 1050 fps by CCI. Reality is more like 975 fps; they are very mild. If you can ask the salesperson what he is basing his advice on we could discuss it further, but it sounds like a misunderstanding of some sort. As far as Buffalo Bore full power 10mm goes, you should read what they have to say on their website and then decide for yourself. My inclination is to do research, shoot it, and if the receiver develops any cracks, let Glock replace it.
