Is This Best Self-Defense Gun Chambered In 10mm? - FN 510 Tactical
About this video
Colion reviews the FN 510 Tactical, a 10mm handgun he initially considered primarily as a bear gun. He argues that it’s actually a highly capable self-defense pistol for use against human threats, explaining that 10mm was originally adopted by the FBI as a people-stopper before becoming popular for large animal defense. Colion praises the gun’s shootability, ergonomics, features, and manageable recoil compared to other 10mm platforms, positioning it as one of the best shooting 10mm handguns on the market.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches that 10mm was originally developed as a defensive round for law enforcement against human threats (following an FBI incident) before it became known for bear defense
- According to Colion, the FN 510 Tactical shoots much softer than typical 10mm pistols, feeling closer to shooting a .45 ACP with only slightly more snap, making it viable for extended range sessions
- Colion demonstrates that the gun’s ergonomics and natural point-of-aim make it suitable for instinctive shooting under stress, which he argues is more realistic for defensive scenarios than carefully aimed fire
