I understand the desire and "coolness" of having same same caliber rifles and handguns. If that's all this is that's cool. Especially the uniqueness of a 10mm in an AR platform.
However, if this 10mm rifle is actually for SD I really don't get it. It's still a handgun round and won't give near the effectiveness of the 5.56 round. Let alone the difference in price per round for feeding.
There a .06 a round difference for ball ammo between .223 and 10mm for me for factory loaded ammo. I haven’t calculated out my handload 10mm but it’s not enough for me to worry about. I don’t even own a rifle in .223/5.56 anymore, I prefer other calibers. I’ve got AR’s in 300AAC, 308 Win, 6.5 Grendel and 458 SOCOM so I’m not using this one as a ballistic replacement for .223. If I wanted effectiveness for SD I’d use the 458. I don’t buy firearms due to coolness - I buy what I like.
When I’m hunting hogs I like carrying a handgun along with a long gun (especially when tracking them) and it’s easier carrying both that use the same caliber and even better when they use the same mags. This will fit the bill well. I wouldn’t expect most people to care for it but I’m pretty fond of it so far.
If only there were pictures.....
Everyone should buy what they like....I'd like a lot more if there were money available to buy!
