MGFP - 10MM Should be the Industry Standard!

Published on September 8, 2025
Duration: 46:17

The speaker argues that 10mm Auto should be the industry standard caliber for handguns, citing its versatility and power. He suggests that firearms should be designed around 10mm and then downsized or adapted for .40 S&W and 9mm Luger, rather than the other way around. This approach, he believes, would offer better performance and flexibility, allowing for easier caliber conversions and potentially better handling characteristics across different calibers.

Quick Summary

The Yankee Marshal advocates for 10mm Auto as the ideal industry standard handgun caliber, arguing that firearms should be designed around its power and versatility. He believes this approach simplifies adaptation to .40 S&W and 9mm Luger, offering greater flexibility. He also asserts that 10mm recoil is manageable for most individuals, contrary to common misconceptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should 10mm Auto be the industry standard handgun caliber?

The speaker argues that 10mm Auto should be the industry standard because firearms designed around it can be more easily adapted to .40 S&W and 9mm Luger. This approach offers greater versatility and potentially better performance across different calibers, making it a more robust foundation for handgun design than starting with smaller calibers.

Is 10mm Auto too difficult for most people to handle?

No, the speaker contends that most people can handle the recoil of 10mm Auto. He states that the FBI's decision to drop it was due to specific qualification standards for less capable individuals, not because it's inherently unmanageable for the average shooter. He compares its recoil favorably to .357 Magnum.

What are the advantages of designing firearms for 10mm first?

Designing firearms for 10mm first allows for simpler downscaling to calibers like .40 S&W and 9mm Luger. This method is seen as more logical than adapting smaller caliber designs for larger rounds. It also facilitates easier caliber conversions and potentially better overall firearm engineering.

Why is 9mm Luger so common if 10mm is considered superior?

The prevalence of 9mm Luger is primarily due to cost-effectiveness for manufacturers and its adoption for NATO contracts. While functional, the speaker believes it's not inherently superior as a base caliber for firearm design compared to 10mm Auto, which offers more potential for adaptation.
