10mm loaded by the major manufacturers is watered down, closer to 40 S&W ballistics. To realize the full potential of the 10mm, you need to handload. DT is a little hot and I see no reason other than bragging rights to fire their "nuclear" loaded ammunition. I load 10mm commercially and see no reason to push the envelope, but I do load faster than the main factories.

I shoot full snort loads for hunting, but my defensive loads are about 100fps less than that, maybe a bit slower even. There's no reason to unleash 700+fpe at someone when 550-600fpe will do the job. That's the versatility of the 10mm. I absolutely love the 10mm.

You can buy DT ammo straight from them or at Midway; Buffalo Bore, Black Hills, and the others can be had there too.
