Unless you just want a GAP I would go with the G30. My Favorite Gun! But between the Gap and the 10mm I would go with the 10 mm!I compared a G39 (GAP) and a G30 SF (ACP) at the local gun store this past Saturday and bought the G30 SF. I went in SPECIFICALLY to buy a G39 and still came out with the G30 SF. I have no experience with the 10 mm.
I thought I did want the GAP, but not after a side-by-side comparison with the ACP.sgtcowboyusmc said:Unless you just want a GAP I would go with the G30. My Favorite Gun! But between the Gap and the 10mm I would go with the 10 mm!
What bullets do you carry now? A different caliber is probably not going to change your "stopping power". The right bullet will make a difference.Love them both but looking for more stopping power in an EDC.
That is excellent info! Thanks.Blades said:What bullets do you carry now? A different caliber is probably not going to change your "stopping power". The right bullet will make a difference.
Have you read this article?
Eh, I'm not so sure about this. I haven't seen any auto-loading cartridge that can match the pure power that the 10mm puts out.EvilD said:If you want more stopping power you need to move up to a rifle or shot gun, most major hand gun calibers are essentially the same with proper ammo.
I was considering the G29 before I purchased my G30. Almost got it instead, but then I saw the .460 Rowland conversion for the G30; someday I'll have the .460 Rowland.The 10mm is the most powerful Glock made. Now imagine that power in a small package.
I loved my 29sf. Tons of stopping power. You just can't go wrong with the 10mm.
Anytime, your welcome.That is excellent info! Thanks.
True but finding that cartridge is expensive and hard to do unless you reload.Blades said:I was considering the G29 before I purchased my G30. Almost got it instead, but then I saw the .460 Rowland conversion for the G30; someday I'll have the .460 Rowland.![]()
Yeah on paper, not in real life gun fights, unless you have some data, I've never seen any and I've been following this type of thing for a long time.Eh, I'm not so sure about this. I haven't seen any auto-loading cartridge that can match the pure power that the 10mm puts out.
I mean yeah, any bullet will do, but what other pistol cartridges do you know that are said to take down bears, cougars, hogs, and other large game? None that I'm familiar with.EvilD said:Yeah on paper, not in real life gun fights, unless you have some data, I've never seen any and I've been following this type of thing for a long time.

In a pistol that requires a magazine that is a common caliber was what I was referring to. I'm more than familiar with those cartridges, and I'm familiar with the Desert Eagle calibers.EvilD said:357 mag, 41 mag, 44 mag, 45 lc, 454 cassul, 480 ruger, 460 SW, 500 AE, 500 SW, 445 Wildey, 357 supermag etc...357, 41, 44, 445 Wildey, 50 AE all available in auto
regardless, for a fighting gun, there is essentially no difference. But, I do want a 10In a pistol that requires a magazine that is a common caliber was what I was referring to. I'm more than familiar with those cartridges, and I'm familiar with the Desert Eagle calibers.
Naaa not to expensive; Georgia Arms has a 230gr hollowpoint that is $40 for fifty-- A 230gr Speer HP traveling at 1300fps. Nice.True but finding that cartridge is expensive and hard to do unless you reload.
True, but I'd rather carry a G29/G30 in my waistband instead of an auto in any of those calibers.357 mag, 41 mag, 44 mag, 45 lc, 454 cassul, 480 ruger, 460 SW, 500 AE, 500 SW, 445 Wildey, 357 supermag etc...357, 41, 44, 445 Wildey, 50 AE all available in auto
