Sam Hopkins I seen it kill a Cape buffalo, good enough for me. And I too have loved it since seeing it in Fallout. My favorite round. .45 just doesn’t look that attractive anymore know that I have been enlightened.
That screeching sound that you always hear in videos of Bald Eagles is actually a Red-tailed Hawk. The actual sound that Bald Eagles make is a geeky kind of honking sound.
Victor C yea its all great ammo there, 45 expands the most while having more of a chance of staying inside the target but still good enough penetration and not so much noise or recoil for a lot more tissue damage. 45 acp is still a special round, i like either the lower weights or the +p
If a handgun actually looks like it has any significant recoil to it or jumps around at all while Hickok45 is shooting it, you know it must be absolutely brutal for us mere mortals!
Both 10mm and 45acp are great rounds. 45 gets my vote for everyday carrying, bigger initial hole and less penetration so you don't have to worry about hitting your target and the 4 people through the wall behind them. 45 ammo is also easier to come by. 10mm for a woods defense gun due to the penetration benefits, better ballistics and more rounds in a similar size mag compared to 45. Both great rounds! Thanks Hickok 👍
@@noahpeters1873 how powerful do you want it? there will always be a round more powerful than the next..there will be a car faster than yours, it never ends
You can get toned down 10mm perfectly made for defense. Just like you can get hotter or different bullet designs for 45acp for woods carry. I love both load, but the 10mm might be more versatile.
Ten is overall a much superior round than ol' 45s and I'm glad it's no longer the black sheep it used to be. It's getting more and more popular, and for good reasons. It can reach or even surpass the muzzle velocity of old 7.62 Tokarevs (depending on the firearm) while delivering an almost twice as heavy round. That's a heavier punch than a 357 Mag. The reason I brought up Tokarev is because it remains a highly popular round in Asia and was used by over 50 militaries at its peak. A great round for conceal carry that can punch through most light body armors. Personally, the 10mm auto is the spiritual successor of 7.62 Tokarev and that's a massive compliment in my book.
2008 all over again but with masks(no mask for me)! I will say that I never thought I’d see 10mm cheaper than 9mm but in my local gun shop 10mm was a few bucks cheaper for a 50 round box of target load than 9. Welcome to the last few days of 2020. On the bright side, we still have things way better overall than 50 years ago
Thinking about this comment during the Corona virus B.S. 45 acp was virtually impossible to find recently. 10mm was stocked everywhere I went looking for 45.
Great insight. I'm a .45 fella. Proven effective, easy to reload, moderate recoil and socially acceptable. Hell... I just love that a hundred+ year old cartridge is still relevant. Old fat and slow still works. Give me hope. hehe....
Been watching you for many years hickok45. Hard to believe this video is 7 years old😂. Appreciate everything you and your sponsors do for us. Much appreciated
@@hickok45 You've got me curious, what state do you live in? I know it can't be Illinois, they hate guns here lol, but I'm hoping to be living in Louisiana soon, they love guns and people, or Arizona. Also I was wondering if you could do a review of the Sig Sauer 2022 in a 9mm???? I got one when I traded in my glock29 10mm.
I carry 45 for EDC. great Rd for stopping people if need be without to much fear of over penatrating and hitting a by stander. if I go to hiking in mountain or near the coast I'd carry 44 mag for bear protection.
4 years later I am able to buy 10mm for around the same price as 45ACP. With the 9mm taking over the 40 S&W 10mm has started to come back. I love the 10mm. Great round to shoot and now it does not hurt the bank as much.
@@noahpeters1873 my G29 SF Gen 3 is my go to 10mm because I shoot it the best. In fact it is in my EDC rotation. Lol as I write this it is being carried right now.
Holy shit that intro! Hickok45 is by far the father of,if not the founder of, the gun community of TH-cam! He’s taught me and millions of others about firearms. Hickok45, if you read these comments, if you ever need me I’ll be there! This country is losing its way. I’m out here in Commifornia and you have ALOT of support out here believe it or not. Everyone I know knows who you are and we respect and support you!
I remember this one time at band camp... Hickok45 played Beethoven's 4th movement from his 9th symphony on steel targets using 45acp. It was so beautiful I wept with joy.
My biggest issue with anti-gun nuts is that they have an issue with all gun owners, 99.9999% of which spend their time doing exactly this. Having innocent fun shooting watermelons, targets, etc. Most of us wouldn't dream of breaking the law with our weapons, or finding excuses to shoot people. Even if it's mainly because we don't want to lose our rights to bear arms, that should be good enough. If we're wrong for enjoying guns b/c of a few idiots, where are all anti-car and anti-beer people, every time a drunk driver kills innocent people? End of rant, keep up the great work, Mr. Hickok.
The problem is that they aren’t using logic in their argument at all. They’re giving into political emotionalism & fear mongering. Alcohol, for example, can be used both responsibly & irresponsibly, just like guns. They can get people killed, both by poisoning and by drunk driving and other actions. Yet, even though alcohol kills way more people than guns do, even localizing that just to the states, you won’t hear people screaming for alcohol prohibition. But, if the politicians & media were fueling that argument, you’d see a new movement of anti-alcohol protests, regardless of the fact that prohibition brought (and always brings) more violence and death.
But you see the anti-gunners drink more than we do, and even though they may want to get us off the street and out of our cars, they will be damned if they will do the same, especially if they drive a Prius which they never use the electric half of the system. In short, one word, hypocrisy.
Best ammo comparison video ever! You covered all of my questions regarding these two. I needed some protection for deep woods hiking/camping, and your video helped me decide to go with the 10mm. Thank you for making these videos!
I've had my glock 20 for about a month, and have put about 300 rounds through. Of all varietys. And the most mild ammo I've come across, by a good bit, is the American eagle stuff. Enjoyable to shoot, easy to control, and i didn't notice much difference between mine and my buddy's G-21. I gradually stepped up a bit to some harder hitting stuff and, immediately, i felt the difference. Oh boy. Some buffalo bore through my glock was astoundingly powerful. And exactly what I was looking for. It might be more expensive to shoot with, but I couldn't be happier with my choice. I love it. Worth all the way in my book
Regular welding is hard enough, but duel welding? I have a mental image of two people fencing with welding tools like they would with rapiers, complete with welding masks.
You can swap the 10mm barrel into the 45 but not the 45 into the 10. The barrel hole in the 10 mm is too small for the 45 conversion. 45 is bigger then 10
"what has happened to Califronia". Sorry to break it to ya, but Cali has always been the mecca of anything that goes against the second amendment. Just be thankful y'all can even still own firearms in that state period. (that might change once Biden and Harris gets in).
@@sebastianbriones9597 California has the most strict gun laws in America. Many diff types of guns that are basic in most states are considered "assault weapons" in Cali. Also, pistols that hold more than 8 shots are not allowed to be carried in public, not even in your vehicle . I also believe there's a 5 day waiting period before you get the gun. You can't just walk into a gun shop and buy one like in most states.
my dad ran out of trick or treat candy one Halloween and handed out cheese slices from the fridge....yeah, our house got egged that night....true story
I love your videos. As a former LEO I am so displeased with all the so called operators on the tube with droves of misinformed followers. You have real education here especially the part about the court. As a former cop, I cannot tell you how many justified shootings I have seen where a misinformed shooter hanged themselves in court. I would love to see you cover cartridge choice and what is less likely to cause over penetration on the street. So many have this idea that a 45ACP is bad because it doesn't penetrate hard surfaces that well. A confrontation is a body to body at a distance of a few feet of an attacker. Chuck Norris may need to shoot through windows but in court they will say why didn't you duck out of the way? Why did you shoot them through a windshield? if so why didn't you drive away? They don't care that maybe you were stuck in the mud. All a prosecutor is concerned with is why.
Glocks may have a lager mag, are generally more resistant to foul-age and have a load of tactical accessory gubbins, but 1911 style guns are minor works of art. I love them so much.
I bought a 10mm from STI (Double-stack, 15 rounds) when they first came out; in fact, I pressured Dave Skinner (owner of STI) to make a 10mm STI Edge available. (He had been selling them to police departments in the Far East ... they really like the 10mm!) Why did I want a 10mm STI EDGE? I got a double-stack magazine with about 17 rounds capacity, and at least the power factor of a .45ACP. I bought it for USPSA competition, and as such I could hand-load ammunition a little bit lighter than the .45 ... closer to the .40 caliber. And realistically, the .10mm should be compared to its closer cousin the .40 Slow-and-Wimpy cartridge than the .45 ACP.. I bought the STI 10mm because I compete in USPSA (Practical Pistol) matches, and I like that the 10mm allows more cartridges in a magazine (10 round .45ACP magazines are not commonly available in double stack; 10 is the limit, while 10mm magazines allow either 17 or 18 rounds in a magazine, depending on the manufacturer and the follower). I WOULD have bought a .40S&W, but at the time there were a lot of KaBOOM! incidents with .40S&W cartridges because the pistols did not typically have fully supported chambers; the guns were blowing up because there was very little 'extra support" in the body of the shell, near the rim; and without fully supported chambers, the KaBOOMs were predictable. I had to pay extra for the 10mm, and the ammunition is almost prohibitively expensive .. even brass costs between 13 and 15 cents a round. But it was worth it. The 10mm has a much stronger "mass of brass" at the base than does the .40S&W/ I've retired from competition (my eyes went bad and I couldn't seen iron sights) but I keep the 10mm around for home defense. Double the magazine capacity, power equal to or better than the .45, and the speed of reloading a double-stack magazine are all major advantages with the 10mm. Plus the ergonomics of a double-stack are better for those of us who have large hands. Oh, and the 10mm Still Kicks A&&! People say that, as a defensive weapon, the pistol allows you time to get to your rifle, or your shotgun. With the 10mm and huge magazine capacity coupled with a fast reaload, the rifle or shotgun might actually be nothing more than an afterthought.
10 mm has more power and punch but a .45 ACP+P will make up for the difference , as I personally wouldn't feel under gunned with a .45 ACP on any day ! If you want speed and velocity go with .9 mm +P and remember if you want to shoot the +P ammo a lot , change the slide spring and look into any other necessary options that would be required for stronger pressures !
I have the first Colt Delta Elite Government Model 1911 10mm and have never had any problems with it. Love this gun out of every gun I've owned or shot. It's the all black and red delta emblem in the center grip 8 shot also. Hands down best gun out there
45 is cheaper and more widely available. You can get 45acp +p with same energy as 10mm. Wider diameter bullets, like the 45, dump it’s energy quicker into a target since it has a larger surface area. Which is what you want in a pistol caliber.
I love my Glock 20, internal Lasermax guide rod laser and Trijicon red dot on top, OC custom trigger and both Lone wolf 10mm and 40 cal barrels. It's awesome to shoot really hot rounds or switch to 40 cal for personal defense in the home or for cheap range rounds. Makes one gun very universal. Camping with my son I carry hot 10mm with no worries, Definitely my favorite handgun!
I shot my first 10mm last week. i can't believe people acually complain about it not being controllable. i'll still take my 9mm any day, but that 10mm was not hard to control.
I agree with you 100% I rented a 10mm at the range, I thought it was very manageable! People say the same thing about tiny "mouse" guns... I think (most) of the people that rant & complain, probably never even shot the gun they're complaining about...
+fordrac1ng81 I shoot buffalo bore 180gn JHP in mine... its controlable. shooting a couple mags at a time makes your hand buzz a little, but its controllable.
I rocked my two-tone Colt Delta Elite 10mm in IDPA for quite a while. Controllability is ALL devolved in ammo/load selection and (most importantly) the basics of grip and gun handling. 😊
My Carry Gun was a Colt 1006 back when it came out which replaced my 4546 once the department backed off of DA only. I loved it. The cadaver tests at the time convinced me of which I wanted to bet my life on.
Have had the G30 a little over a year, and love it. Got the G20 & liked it so much, I brought home a G29 a month later. As the man always states, Life is good😁
@@solidtv6211 It would be an excellent addition. These two years later, I still love both the 29 and 30. One thing you can do, if having the 30 already, their are companies that sell 10mm conversion barrels. My buddy has one for his 30, and loves it.
The glock 20 WAS popular in Alaska until the M&P 2.0 10mm came on the market. I have both and live in Alaska. The G20 has alot of safe time now that I have the M&P 10mm. It's a beautiful gun, comfortable to shoot and no glock knuckle.
Thanks for another great video. An efficient comparison between the 10mm and 45acp. I live in Fairbanks, Alaska. All of the gun shops have 1911s in 10mm and it seems to be a very popular cartridge. If you want to buy a 1911, sellers might act surprised you really want it in 45acp. I carry a 44mag revolver in shoulder holster in the field, which many argue is not enough gun for bears. All I know is, with the hot bear loads, 44mag is as much gun as I can handle and kicks way way harder than the 10mm hot loads in this video. However the big appeal to the 10mm and its popularity in Alaska is due to capacity. 6-44mag in the revolver vs 9-10mm in the 1911 vs 16-10mm in the G20. Many feel 6-44mag rounds vs 16-10mm rounds is a non issue and want the high capacity. My co-worker just bought a Rock Island Armory 1911 double stack in 10mm with 17 round capacity. I am not arguing, but if you only have one shot at a charging bear, which do you want?
You can see in the side by side the recoil difference (in a well practiced shooter, recoil is more visible in novice shooters). The best ammo for carry is a simple hierarchy - aim, power, capacity in that order. Capacity is important (more shots than you need is always better than fewer). Power is more important than capacity because most shooting situations don't require shooting and those that do seldom require many rounds, so stopping in fewer rounds is better than having the same power over more rounds. Aim, however, is the most important because shot placement is always the key factor for stopping a threat. Therefore, that becomes a cap on power to what you can control and put on target quickly and accurately. So, figure out what the most powerful round you can shoot well is, then choose a platform that maximizes the capacity for that round (or course, again controlled for open or concealed carry). That is THE answer to the caliber fight - and it is different from person to person.
And what makes it even easier for all of us these days is that the legitimate research shows more and more that the difference between the effects of quality rounds of 9mm, 40, and .45 is negligible. Placement and multiple hits seem to be proving more important than minimal difference in caliber.
True, but it still applies for low calibers (.22, .25, .32, etc), .380 v. 9mm, and .38 v. .357 - so there are places where power differences are power differences. My wife pushes herself to get up to .380, but I carry everything up to .45 from time to time (9mm most commonly). The only time I ever fell under gunned is if I'm carrying the .32 - but for times I really want to be invisibly armed, that thing is an answer.
Oakspar Oakspar That's why I'll end up carrying 9mm over .45ACP. Less recoil, meaning I can be more accurate with the same amount of practice. As well as cost of ammo for said practice. .45ACP is expensive in most cases compared to 9mm.
I carried a Colt Combat Elite 1911 .45 on duty and also used a GLOCK 20 in 10mm with full power 175 gr silver tip JHP when in charge of Bank Robbery Investigations. I use a Kimber Camp Guard 5" 10mm today as a personal defense firearm. I'm a fan of the .45ACP and have carried one for many decades. I'm slow, fat and old like the .45 ACP. In the 1911 these two cartridges plus the .38 Super and a SIG Nightmare Carry 1911 in .357 SIG are favorites for defensive carry. In striker fired10mm i favor the Springfield XDM 4.5" over the GLOCK having owned both. Great review as always you can do worse than to select either cartridge HOWEVER BEST OPTION IS HAVING BOTH.
I prefer a 45 but would say the 10mm is prob a better round. However the 10mm has much more recoil and is harder to shoot fast accurately compared to the 45. I would go as far as saying the 40. Also has more recoil and is harder to shoot fast and accurate compared to the 45.
Thinking about the Ruger SR1911 in 10mm. I have the .45 and love it. I took a large doe with the SR1911 .45 last year. It was a 15yd shot in the neck. But would love to step up the distance and take a shoulder shot. So the 10 sounds like a good choice. Thanks again for great and informative videos hickok45.
.45 acp is popular because it has good stopping power compared to the 9x19 and .40 s&w. The other reason is its light recoil (less than the .40). But it is very limited. The 10mm has more kick but less limitations.
Ballistics nerd here and the key to comparing calibers is finding the optimum weight per caliber, for example a 45acp is much more deadly in a 185 grain then a 230 cause in the 185 your getting the FPS you need and more importantly a lot more energy! But the 10mm in 165 is just superior it’s a brutal man stopping combo of speed and energy
Yep, as long as one practices enough with those light, faster bullets to shoot them really accurately and know where they hit. I've always preferred "heavy-for-caliber" bullets. The shootability in follow-up shots, recoil, and point of impact is more desirable for me. Unfortunately, a lot of people research and study and get into their head which is the "best" bullet or caliber ballistically (10mm, .357 SIG, .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum), but they barely practice enough to shoot even a .22 Long Rifle accurately under stress. Meanwhile, they feel really well-armed carrying some big bad gun or caliber that will cause them to jerk the trigger when they shoot it so badly that they will almost shoot their toes off instead of any potential attacker. :-)
hickok45 just remember you want the most FPS and Most energy possible per caliber that combo is what will stop the threat so it’s the lighter bullets within each caliber line that will work best. If you prefer a heavy bullet carry a 45acp in a 185 or 10mm in a 165
First Name Last Name feet per second and energy equals damage the biggest bullet you can get going the fastest and carrying the most energy equals power that’s not debatable it’s fact lol
Thanks for this video... that being said I love both calibers. I think it's a matter of what you need and what you're comfortable with(wouldn't feel out gunned with either caliber) I like the versatility of the 10mm and I like the .45 for the fact that it's one of the most iconic guns in history! I have owned a 10mm since 1987 it has been a very reliable and trustworthy caliber.... I also have owned a .45 since about the same time.... according what your purpose is... is what you carry...anyway really enjoyed the video!
This may be a little old but gotta love Hickock45. I finally got a 10mm yesterday. Springfield Armory XDm 4.5 fde and love it. I got the 5.25 45 acp XDm for my 65 birthday last week..
Why not carry the G20 in the woods? A .45 is a good round against human targets, but the 10mm gives you a bit more against 4 legged critters with big teeth.
I think this is the biggest reason for the come back of the 10mm. People started seeing the 10, especially the new Glocks, as a great option to a .44 magnum revolver in the woods, and they can always use it in more urban areas for defense against humans too. It's lighter to carry than a model 29 (S&W that is) and more compact.
WhoWouldWantThisName that’s exactly why I bought my 10mm, the .44 was way too heavy to carry and wasn’t practical in most situations, I can use the 10mm for just about anything.
Yeah, somebody recently used the line with me: "9mm for the hoods, 10mm for the woods". But I corrected him: "10mm defense round for the hoods, 10mm hunting round for the woods".
@Tony B - Nonsense. You've been buying into gun mythology. Sure, 10 HUNTING rounds would rip right through a person. But 10 DEFENSIVE rounds wouldn't. 10 penetrates very deeply, but it still expands and then stops after about 16 to 18 inches in ballistics gel, which is the ideal depth according to the FBI. Even then, it barely has any velocity at the end of that trajectory, so it doesn't pooch out of the back of the gel with enough oomph to wound anymore. That's exactly why they chose it as their official caliber, once upon a time. It is the veritable sweet spot for defensive handgun ammunition.
My experience with shops and ranges was the opposite. They mostly looked at me like I was from Mars when I specifically asked for 10mm. That is, until I found a shop that praised me on my choice and made the purchase super smooth. I have bought all my guns through that same shop, now. 👍
I just like how people keep bringing the 10mm to the public's attention. I carry a G29 daily. The 10mm has a huge advantage because the bullets and dies are more versatile.
I love the 10MM, but there are drawbacks. Expensive to shoot or ammo thats harder to get. The 10 has experienced a huge boost in popularity in recent times. I do feel that the 10 often gets maligned by those who don’t know enough about it. Yes, it has more recoil than many other semi autos. This makes it more difficult for less experienced shooters. It would appear that there are a lot of less experienced shooters that become owners of semi autos. Of course this is not everyone, but in general. The 10 mm is an extremely versatile and powerful cartridge! It should be loaded softer for concealed carry, But full house loads make it a great hunter in the woods. The 10 is a creation that spans time. It is a great development! It must be understood! When ammo manufacturers can catch up to new demands, it will take away a major detractor. The 10 however, is very different from many semiautomatic handguns. It kind of fills its own niche. It fills this individual niche in a special way. I wish more people understood how great and how versatile the 10 MM is.
I've hunted wild hogs with my 10 mm Glock 20 (using cheap ammo) along side my friend trying out his .45 ACP carbine (also using cheap ammo). Despite the longer barrel of the .45 ACP, the 10 mm was hands down better at dropping hogs.
Thanks Professor Hickok45…you definitely clarified my confusion between 10mm and 45 acp…. I picked up the SW MP45 Shield with the impression it’s the best CCW defense pistol because of the size and 45 ACP… now I have to checkout a compact 10mm.. thank god I live in a state where handgun purchase is not limited…. ‘Carry what the police carry so you don’t have a hard time in court…good advice… but I’ll still be looking for a 10mm to check out..
I was able to do a direct comparison with Glock 20 vs 21. I had the same recoil arc with both. The reason, I believe, is that the 20 has a noticeably heavier slide.
I choose the 10mm. If its powerful enough to take down Super Mutants, Feral Ghouls, and Raiders then its good enough for me.
Sam Hopkins I seen it kill a Cape buffalo, good enough for me. And I too have loved it since seeing it in Fallout. My favorite round. .45 just doesn’t look that attractive anymore know that I have been enlightened.

45 for the great expansion and 10mm for the penetration and energy, both amazing rounds
Winchester Ranger-T 45 (230gr) expands to 25mm on average. Underwood 45 (174Gr) expands to 32mm
Victor C yea its all great ammo there, 45 expands the most while having more of a chance of staying inside the target but still good enough penetration and not so much noise or recoil for a lot more tissue damage. 45 acp is still a special round, i like either the lower weights or the +p
The bullet caught more speed going that pitch I'm joking imm no scientist but 10ens daddy ok but the 45 acp will never let u down
10mm hollowpoints shouldn't penetrate much, I would think.
If a handgun actually looks like it has any significant recoil to it or jumps around at all while Hickok45 is shooting it, you know it must be absolutely brutal for us mere mortals!

Ten is overall a much superior round than ol' 45s and I'm glad it's no longer the black sheep it used to be. It's getting more and more popular, and for good reasons.
It can reach or even surpass the muzzle velocity of old 7.62 Tokarevs (depending on the firearm) while delivering an almost twice as heavy round.
That's a heavier punch than a 357 Mag.
The reason I brought up Tokarev is because it remains a highly popular round in Asia and was used by over 50 militaries at its peak. A great round for conceal carry that can punch through most light body armors.
Personally, the 10mm auto is the spiritual successor of 7.62 Tokarev and that's a massive compliment in my book.
When in doubt buy both.

They're both good calibers. I tend to prefer the .45 ACP because of availability of ammo. 10mm can be a little hard to find sometimes.
Having the same dilemma. Planned on getting a g20 ended up with the g21 instead. Friggin .45 ammo everywhere! . .and 9mm.
I can make my own for plinking and save cash for the carry ammo.

Been watching you for many years hickok45. Hard to believe this video is 7 years old😂. Appreciate everything you and your sponsors do for us. Much appreciated
Enough with the gong already!!! my wife's sleeping and doesn't know I'm "researching"!!!!
That's what you get in OUR videos; just return to the Victoria's Secret website for some more "research." Remember, it was not so loud over there. :-)
wouldn't have it any other way!! Always enjoy your content. Just thinking you could smoke more pots is all.
Well it's better than the gong show.

@@hickok45 You've got me curious, what state do you live in? I know it can't be Illinois, they hate guns here lol, but I'm hoping to be living in Louisiana soon, they love guns and people, or Arizona. Also I was wondering if you could do a review of the Sig Sauer 2022 in a 9mm???? I got one when I traded in my glock29 10mm.
I carry 45 for EDC. great Rd for stopping people if need be without to much fear of over penatrating and hitting a by stander. if I go to hiking in mountain or near the coast I'd carry 44 mag for bear protection.
4 years later I am able to buy 10mm for around the same price as 45ACP. With the 9mm taking over the 40 S&W 10mm has started to come back. I love the 10mm. Great round to shoot and now it does not hurt the bank as much.
Yep

Holy shit that intro! Hickok45 is by far the father of,if not the founder of, the gun community of TH-cam! He’s taught me and millions of others about firearms. Hickok45, if you read these comments, if you ever need me I’ll be there! This country is losing its way. I’m out here in Commifornia and you have ALOT of support out here believe it or not. Everyone I know knows who you are and we respect and support you!
I remember this one time at band camp... Hickok45 played Beethoven's 4th movement from his 9th symphony on steel targets using 45acp. It was so beautiful I wept with joy.
I wasn't there but I did hear how beautiful it sounded !
For real? I would like to hear that one!
@@Misskitty15 it really happened

My biggest issue with anti-gun nuts is that they have an issue with all gun owners, 99.9999% of which spend their time doing exactly this. Having innocent fun shooting watermelons, targets, etc. Most of us wouldn't dream of breaking the law with our weapons, or finding excuses to shoot people. Even if it's mainly because we don't want to lose our rights to bear arms, that should be good enough. If we're wrong for enjoying guns b/c of a few idiots, where are all anti-car and anti-beer people, every time a drunk driver kills innocent people? End of rant, keep up the great work, Mr. Hickok.
The problem is that they aren’t using logic in their argument at all. They’re giving into political emotionalism & fear mongering. Alcohol, for example, can be used both responsibly & irresponsibly, just like guns. They can get people killed, both by poisoning and by drunk driving and other actions. Yet, even though alcohol kills way more people than guns do, even localizing that just to the states, you won’t hear people screaming for alcohol prohibition. But, if the politicians & media were fueling that argument, you’d see a new movement of anti-alcohol protests, regardless of the fact that prohibition brought (and always brings) more violence and death.
Gun control isn't about guns its about people control. IMHO
Will they way things are going now.civil war is on the Horizon.all these anti-gun laws being passed and the police being out of control
ChunkyThund3r
Guess we won’t get clarification on that statement...
I was waiting for some genius..
But you see the anti-gunners drink more than we do, and even though they may want to get us off the street and out of our cars, they will be damned if they will do the same, especially if they drive a Prius which they never use the electric half of the system.
In short, one word, hypocrisy.
When he goes hard after the steel targets, sounds like church bells to me. Very cool!
Best ammo comparison video ever! You covered all of my questions regarding these two. I needed some protection for deep woods hiking/camping, and your video helped me decide to go with the 10mm. Thank you for making these videos!
Springfield 10 compact is on my radar.
I've had my glock 20 for about a month, and have put about 300 rounds through. Of all varietys. And the most mild ammo I've come across, by a good bit, is the American eagle stuff. Enjoyable to shoot, easy to control, and i didn't notice much difference between mine and my buddy's G-21. I gradually stepped up a bit to some harder hitting stuff and, immediately, i felt the difference. Oh boy. Some buffalo bore through my glock was astoundingly powerful. And exactly what I was looking for. It might be more expensive to shoot with, but I couldn't be happier with my choice. I love it. Worth all the way in my book

Everytime I hear 10mm pistol, I think of Fallout
wasn't it a Browning Hi-Power?
No, the Hi Power was a 9+p in game. The 10mm was that weird robo cop-ish looking thing with a desert eagle lower.
most common handgun in the wasteland haha
There's a mod on Xbox One and probably for PC too of the default 10mm pistol turned into a Colt Delta Elite
There's one with a 10mm glock also. Dunno if it's on xbone I'm on PC
Was considering getting a 1911 in one of these calibers and after watching this video I’m leaning towards the 45acp
I just picked up a .45 1911 CS I love it, going to get a 10mm next for a back up while hunting/fishing
Glock 21 with a Lone Wolf 10mm barrel. Best of both worlds.

@@tempviduse I know on my G21 Lone Wolf makes the barrel and that's all I had to swap out.
You can swap the 10mm barrel into the 45 but not the 45 into the 10. The barrel hole in the 10 mm is too small for the 45 conversion. 45 is bigger then 10
Glock 40(10mm) with a KKM barrel, that’s the jam!!

I remember growing up in California watching hikock videos can’t believe it’s been 15 years it’s so sad what has happened to California

What happened in California?? All comment of that but I don’t know what they’re talking bout
@@sebastianbriones9597 California has the most strict gun laws in America. Many diff types of guns that are basic in most states are considered "assault weapons" in Cali. Also, pistols that hold more than 8 shots are not allowed to be carried in public, not even in your vehicle . I also believe there's a 5 day waiting period before you get the gun. You can't just walk into a gun shop and buy one like in most states.

I love your videos. As a former LEO I am so displeased with all the so called operators on the tube with droves of misinformed followers. You have real education here especially the part about the court. As a former cop, I cannot tell you how many justified shootings I have seen where a misinformed shooter hanged themselves in court. I would love to see you cover cartridge choice and what is less likely to cause over penetration on the street. So many have this idea that a 45ACP is bad because it doesn't penetrate hard surfaces that well. A confrontation is a body to body at a distance of a few feet of an attacker. Chuck Norris may need to shoot through windows but in court they will say why didn't you duck out of the way? Why did you shoot them through a windshield? if so why didn't you drive away? They don't care that maybe you were stuck in the mud. All a prosecutor is concerned with is why.
Glocks may have a lager mag, are generally more resistant to foul-age and have a load of tactical accessory gubbins, but 1911 style guns are minor works of art. I love them so much.
I bought a 10mm from STI (Double-stack, 15 rounds) when they first came out; in fact, I pressured Dave Skinner (owner of STI) to make a 10mm STI Edge available. (He had been selling them to police departments in the Far East ... they really like the 10mm!)
Why did I want a 10mm STI EDGE?
I got a double-stack magazine with about 17 rounds capacity, and at least the power factor of a .45ACP.
I bought it for USPSA competition, and as such I could hand-load ammunition a little bit lighter than the .45 ... closer to the .40 caliber. And realistically, the .10mm should be compared to its closer cousin the .40 Slow-and-Wimpy cartridge than the .45 ACP..
I bought the STI 10mm because I compete in USPSA (Practical Pistol) matches, and I like that the 10mm allows more cartridges in a magazine (10 round .45ACP magazines are not commonly available in double stack; 10 is the limit, while 10mm magazines allow either 17 or 18 rounds in a magazine, depending on the manufacturer and the follower).
I WOULD have bought a .40S&W, but at the time there were a lot of KaBOOM! incidents with .40S&W cartridges because the pistols did not typically have fully supported chambers; the guns were blowing up because there was very little 'extra support" in the body of the shell, near the rim; and without fully supported chambers, the KaBOOMs were predictable.
I had to pay extra for the 10mm, and the ammunition is almost prohibitively expensive .. even brass costs between 13 and 15 cents a round. But it was worth it. The 10mm has a much stronger "mass of brass" at the base than does the .40S&W/
I've retired from competition (my eyes went bad and I couldn't seen iron sights) but I keep the 10mm around for home defense. Double the magazine capacity, power equal to or better than the .45, and the speed of reloading a double-stack magazine are all major advantages with the 10mm. Plus the ergonomics of a double-stack are better for those of us who have large hands.
Oh, and the 10mm Still Kicks A&&!
People say that, as a defensive weapon, the pistol allows you time to get to your rifle, or your shotgun. With the 10mm and huge magazine capacity coupled with a fast reaload, the rifle or shotgun might actually be nothing more than an afterthought.
10 mm has more power and punch but a .45 ACP+P will make up for the difference , as I personally wouldn't feel under gunned with a .45 ACP on any day ! If you want speed and velocity go with .9 mm +P and remember if you want to shoot the +P ammo a lot , change the slide spring and look into any other necessary options that would be required for stronger pressures !
I have the first Colt Delta Elite Government Model 1911 10mm and have never had any problems with it. Love this gun out of every gun I've owned or shot. It's the all black and red delta emblem in the center grip 8 shot also. Hands down best gun out there

45 is cheaper and more widely available. You can get 45acp +p with same energy as 10mm. Wider diameter bullets, like the 45, dump it’s energy quicker into a target since it has a larger surface area. Which is what you want in a pistol caliber.
False
I love my Glock 20, internal Lasermax guide rod laser and Trijicon red dot on top, OC custom trigger and both Lone wolf 10mm and 40 cal barrels. It's awesome to shoot really hot rounds or switch to 40 cal for personal defense in the home or for cheap range rounds. Makes one gun very universal. Camping with my son I carry hot 10mm with no worries, Definitely my favorite handgun!
It's always a pleasure to watch and listen to someone who knows their stuff and can communicate what they know effectively.
I shot my first 10mm last week.
i can't believe people acually complain about it not being controllable.
i'll still take my 9mm any day, but that 10mm was not hard to control.
I agree with you 100% I rented a 10mm at the range, I thought it was very manageable! People say the same thing about tiny "mouse" guns... I think (most) of the people that rant & complain, probably never even shot the gun they're complaining about...

Thanks for another great video. An efficient comparison between the 10mm and 45acp. I live in Fairbanks, Alaska. All of the gun shops have 1911s in 10mm and it seems to be a very popular cartridge. If you want to buy a 1911, sellers might act surprised you really want it in 45acp. I carry a 44mag revolver in shoulder holster in the field, which many argue is not enough gun for bears. All I know is, with the hot bear loads, 44mag is as much gun as I can handle and kicks way way harder than the 10mm hot loads in this video. However the big appeal to the 10mm and its popularity in Alaska is due to capacity. 6-44mag in the revolver vs 9-10mm in the 1911 vs 16-10mm in the G20. Many feel 6-44mag rounds vs 16-10mm rounds is a non issue and want the high capacity. My co-worker just bought a Rock Island Armory 1911 double stack in 10mm with 17 round capacity. I am not arguing, but if you only have one shot at a charging bear, which do you want?
I love my Delta Elite, had it since '89 and don't think I'll ever let go of it.

Camera quality is superb ! Great job ! Love the 10 mily
You can see in the side by side the recoil difference (in a well practiced shooter, recoil is more visible in novice shooters).
The best ammo for carry is a simple hierarchy - aim, power, capacity in that order.
Capacity is important (more shots than you need is always better than fewer).
Power is more important than capacity because most shooting situations don't require shooting and those that do seldom require many rounds, so stopping in fewer rounds is better than having the same power over more rounds.
Aim, however, is the most important because shot placement is always the key factor for stopping a threat. Therefore, that becomes a cap on power to what you can control and put on target quickly and accurately.
So, figure out what the most powerful round you can shoot well is, then choose a platform that maximizes the capacity for that round (or course, again controlled for open or concealed carry).
That is THE answer to the caliber fight - and it is different from person to person.
And what makes it even easier for all of us these days is that the legitimate research shows more and more that the difference between the effects of quality rounds of 9mm, 40, and .45 is negligible. Placement and multiple hits seem to be proving more important than minimal difference in caliber.
True, but it still applies for low calibers (.22, .25, .32, etc), .380 v. 9mm, and .38 v. .357 - so there are places where power differences are power differences.
My wife pushes herself to get up to .380, but I carry everything up to .45 from time to time (9mm most commonly). The only time I ever fell under gunned is if I'm carrying the .32 - but for times I really want to be invisibly armed, that thing is an answer.
Oakspar Oakspar
Oakspar Oakspar
Oakspar Oakspar That's why I'll end up carrying 9mm over .45ACP. Less recoil, meaning I can be more accurate with the same amount of practice. As well as cost of ammo for said practice. .45ACP is expensive in most cases compared to 9mm.
I carried a Colt Combat Elite 1911 .45 on duty and also used a GLOCK 20 in 10mm with full power 175 gr silver tip JHP when in charge of Bank Robbery Investigations. I use a Kimber Camp Guard 5" 10mm today as a personal defense firearm. I'm a fan of the .45ACP and have carried one for many decades. I'm slow, fat and old like the .45 ACP. In the 1911 these two cartridges plus the .38 Super and a SIG Nightmare Carry 1911 in .357 SIG are favorites for defensive carry. In striker fired10mm i favor the Springfield XDM 4.5" over the GLOCK having owned both. Great review as always you can do worse than to select either cartridge HOWEVER BEST OPTION IS HAVING BOTH.
The sounds of LS engines and gunfire, we love you!
I prefer a 45 but would say the 10mm is prob a better round. However the 10mm has much more recoil and is harder to shoot fast accurately compared to the 45. I would go as far as saying the 40. Also has more recoil and is harder to shoot fast and accurate compared to the 45.
Your experience and vision &voice make a great information resource. There's a comanality in your understanding of just why we shoot. ITS JUST FUN .

Thinking about the Ruger SR1911 in 10mm. I have the .45 and love it. I took a large doe with the SR1911 .45 last year. It was a 15yd shot in the neck. But would love to step up the distance and take a shoulder shot. So the 10 sounds like a good choice. Thanks again for great and informative videos hickok45.
Hickok and Demolition Ranch and probably the best 2 gun review Channels on TH-cam! 🇺🇸
.45 acp is popular because it has good stopping power compared to the 9x19 and .40 s&w. The other reason is its light recoil (less than the .40). But it is very limited. The 10mm has more kick but less limitations.
the velocity on those 10mm's as they were hitting the gong, hoo boy
Ballistics nerd here and the key to comparing calibers is finding the optimum weight per caliber, for example a 45acp is much more deadly in a 185 grain then a 230 cause in the 185 your getting the FPS you need and more importantly a lot more energy! But the 10mm in 165 is just superior it’s a brutal man stopping combo of speed and energy
Yep, as long as one practices enough with those light, faster bullets to shoot them really accurately and know where they hit. I've always preferred "heavy-for-caliber" bullets. The shootability in follow-up shots, recoil, and point of impact is more desirable for me.
Unfortunately, a lot of people research and study and get into their head which is the "best" bullet or caliber ballistically (10mm, .357 SIG, .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum), but they barely practice enough to shoot even a .22 Long Rifle accurately under stress. Meanwhile, they feel really well-armed carrying some big bad gun or caliber that will cause them to jerk the trigger when they shoot it so badly that they will almost shoot their toes off instead of any potential attacker. :-)
hickok45 just remember you want the most FPS and Most energy possible per caliber that combo is what will stop the threat so it’s the lighter bullets within each caliber line that will work best. If you prefer a heavy bullet carry a 45acp in a 185 or 10mm in a 165
First Name Last Name no that is correct lol just look at big game hunting same applies to humans
First Name Last Name feet per second and energy equals damage the biggest bullet you can get going the fastest and carrying the most energy equals power that’s not debatable it’s fact lol
First Name Last Name happy new year and I hate to tell you it’s a fact the more FPS and energy the better that’s science fact bud.
I figured the 10mm was stronger. The 45 is a little bigger, but it's much slower and lower pressure.
Thanks for this video... that being said I love both calibers. I think it's a matter of what you need and what you're comfortable with(wouldn't feel out gunned with either caliber) I like the versatility of the 10mm and I like the .45 for the fact that it's one of the most iconic guns in history! I have owned a 10mm since 1987 it has been a very reliable and trustworthy caliber.... I also have owned a .45 since about the same time.... according what your purpose is... is what you carry...anyway really enjoyed the video!

My God he's a friggin awesome shot!!!
Why not carry the G20 in the woods? A .45 is a good round against human targets, but the 10mm gives you a bit more against 4 legged critters with big teeth.
I think this is the biggest reason for the come back of the 10mm. People started seeing the 10, especially the new Glocks, as a great option to a .44 magnum revolver in the woods, and they can always use it in more urban areas for defense against humans too. It's lighter to carry than a model 29 (S&W that is) and more compact.
WhoWouldWantThisName that’s exactly why I bought my 10mm, the .44 was way too heavy to carry and wasn’t practical in most situations, I can use the 10mm for just about anything.
Yeah, somebody recently used the line with me: "9mm for the hoods, 10mm for the woods".
But I corrected him: "10mm defense round for the hoods, 10mm hunting round for the woods".
@Tony B - Nonsense. You've been buying into gun mythology.
Sure, 10 HUNTING rounds would rip right through a person. But 10 DEFENSIVE rounds wouldn't. 10 penetrates very deeply, but it still expands and then stops after about 16 to 18 inches in ballistics gel, which is the ideal depth according to the FBI. Even then, it barely has any velocity at the end of that trajectory, so it doesn't pooch out of the back of the gel with enough oomph to wound anymore.
That's exactly why they chose it as their official caliber, once upon a time. It is the veritable sweet spot for defensive handgun ammunition.
@Dio Black - Depends on the load. Which one is that?
This is my first time watching this man he’s a HELL OF A SHOOTER
Hell yeah brother
Every gun store I've gone to, when I ask for a just a fun round, all break out 10 mm and say this is best.
My experience with shops and ranges was the opposite. They mostly looked at me like I was from Mars when I specifically asked for 10mm. That is, until I found a shop that praised me on my choice and made the purchase super smooth. I have bought all my guns through that same shop, now. 👍
I just like how people keep bringing the 10mm to the public's attention. I carry a G29 daily. The 10mm has a huge advantage because the bullets and dies are more versatile.
I love the 10MM, but there are drawbacks. Expensive to shoot or ammo thats harder to get. The 10 has experienced a huge boost in popularity in recent times. I do feel that the 10 often gets maligned by those who don’t know enough about it. Yes, it has more recoil than many other semi autos. This makes it more difficult for less experienced shooters. It would appear that there are a lot of less experienced shooters that become owners of semi autos. Of course this is not everyone, but in general. The 10 mm is an extremely versatile and powerful cartridge! It should be loaded softer for concealed carry, But full house loads make it a great hunter in the woods. The 10 is a creation that spans time. It is a great development! It must be understood! When ammo manufacturers can catch up to new demands, it will take away a major detractor. The 10 however, is very different from many semiautomatic handguns. It kind of fills its own niche. It fills this individual niche in a special way. I wish more people understood how great and how versatile the 10 MM is.
10mm all the way 😉. thanks for the video.
Not when its chambered in those ugly clunky fat glocks
I've hunted wild hogs with my 10 mm Glock 20 (using cheap ammo) along side my friend trying out his .45 ACP carbine (also using cheap ammo). Despite the longer barrel of the .45 ACP, the 10 mm was hands down better at dropping hogs.
I switched to the Glock 40 after the 20 and the pain in my hand went away .
@@TheArchersTungsten I have a G29 & a G40. Love the G40. I also have 8 ..44 mags & a couple of .454 Casulls, so the 10's don't seem so bad.
Yeah when it's almost on top of you lol
@@davidgomez5116 Lol, last one I shot that charged me I shot between the shoulder blades and had to jump out of the way of 200 lbs. of tumbling meat.
Thanks Professor Hickok45…you definitely clarified my confusion between 10mm and 45 acp…. I picked up the SW MP45 Shield with the impression it’s the best CCW defense pistol because of the size and 45 ACP… now I have to checkout a compact 10mm.. thank god I live in a state where handgun purchase is not limited…. ‘Carry what the police carry so you don’t have a hard time in court…good advice… but I’ll still be looking for a 10mm to check out..
Hickok makes the glock 20 look like a 29 in his hands.
I was able to do a direct comparison with Glock 20 vs 21. I had the same recoil arc with both. The reason, I believe, is that the 20 has a noticeably heavier slide.
Yess, Glock 29 is winner
