10mm Ruger GP100, This looks kind of cool! Thoughts?

Seems like 41 magnum would make more sense for a revolver.

They can do a 41 mag actually!

I don't know, but there just may be enough room to still keep the GP100 a six shooter. I know with the .41, .44 they have to be five shooters, but I think with the 10MM along with the size of the cylinder it just may hold six. Now if it does then comes the question is there enough steel left to be able to handle heavy loads. If not, them you may have to go with her being a five shot cylinder.

They can or have done a 41 rem mag actually, IDK if they could take all loads but theyve done it.

I guess you could, but your going to ruin alot of 9MM brass as the 9MM is a tapered case an would probably split, plus accuracy would suffer since 9MM is actually .355 compared to the bore diameter being .357.

Forgot about the tapered case. As a caster, I could just size the bullets to .358 instead of .356; or just use .38/.357 bullets to start with.

Just don't get it mixed up with what your taking to the range that day. Just might mess up one of your SIG's.

I think a 158gr SWC would be hard to miss!

Although I'd be more worried about the Glock or 1911 than the Sig. It eats anything!

If you have a .357 Mag cylinder cut for moon clips can you then run 9mm in it with clips also?

No you can't. It won't fit but about halfway into the chamber. Remember that taper?

I'm a long-time 10mm fan, but 10mm wheelguns have always seemed like an answer desperately seeking a question. The whole point of 10mm was to give you .357 Mag ballistics in a cartridge that would reliably feed in a semi-auto; if you're going back to a wheelgun, why not just go with .357 Mag?

Personally, I'd rather have a S&W, but whatever blows your skirts up, I guess.

I've always wondered how those old Medusa 47s worked around that... They were able to shoot 357s and 9s. I've heard of conversion 357s that now shoot 9s and 38 supers but the smith doing it always says don't put 357s in it after conversion because of expansion . Any explanation? Or thoughts?

My thoughts on the medusa is that light strikes with rimless calibers would probably be pretty common, as would split brass with .38/.357s.

It's just not a good idea and that's why they aren't made anymore and nobody has picked up the design.

Well that and the design is extremely expensive.

So the 357 case is tapered?
