Any knowledge about a TC carbine barrel in 10mm?
Bought a Glock 29 SF awhile back and it has piqued my interest in all things 10mm. I am looking for a G20SF now and have been thinking that a 16" barrel for my G2 Contender would be a sweet little carbine.
According to ballistics by the inch the point of diminishing returns in a 10mm, for most loads seems to be 13-14". I would prefer a 16" carbine barrel . Anyone have any first hand knowledge of such a beast?
I realize it would probably be easier and more reasonable to chamber the .41 mag but then it wouldn't be a companion to my Glock(s).
TIA for any and all replies.

extension. It is about like a .38-40. About. Best I can get velocity wise with the 180s is around 1200-1300 fps using BlueDot. Useful yes, but might be disappointing to the high-velocity adherents. I would often use it with the Choate folder and that made for a compact "truck" or woods bumming rifle. The thing is is that a good .44 or .45 revolver is more compact and easier to carry. Further, while we can carry concealed on National Forest here (outside of hunting seasons), we can't open carry so the carbine is prohibited except during hunting season(s) or from September to the end of January.
