10mm, Glock or EAA Witness

[hipower]

I never really cared for the 40 myself. Until the G24. That sucker makes the 40 great. Not like a 22, but nothing like a 40 in guns from a few years back. Now these reviews make me wonder how the 10mm would be in something like a 5/6" barreled Glock.

 

Somehow, the Glocks just seem to tame felt recoil better than others.

I'm not a glock fan, so as I said earlier, I went EAA for my 10MM. That gun makes the round a pussycat to handle. My wife shoots the gun with no problems, and enjoys it! She's a thin hottie who doesn't like a lot of recoil, but she loves the EAA.

Be mindful certain models of the EAA Witness in 10mm, and 45 ACP, have issues with cracking frames and slides. It is the slides with the well rounded top that are cracking.

 

Here are some stories of it:

Witness Elite. Built better than many $1,500 1911s for under $600 and no slide or frame issues. :)

Gen 3, not Gen 4 Glock 20 all day long Baby!! Supposedly the Gen 3 handles full boat 10 mm better than Gen 4!

I heard that from one of my inlaws. He loves 10mm/hates Glocks. So when he told me about shooting one I was stunned.

Seems he was shooting with one of his friends and got a chance to to a Gen3 in 10. He didn't esactly rave about it, but admitted that it shot well and had a different feel to the recoil impulse and almost liked it.

That was high praise from one who thinks that plastic are the worst thing to every happen to firearms. If it ain't steel...it ain't real.

Ok, I will play; why does te gen 3 handle them better than the gen 4? I sold my gen 3 20sf in hopes of acquiring a gen 4 that has less recoil and better chamber support. All it took was shooting a gen 4 to make me want to uprgade. In fact the gen 4's are supposed to have better chamber support than aftermarket barrels. This does come with a trade off: some rounds may not feed as reliably.

I would definitely go gen 4 20 for the reasons stated above...
