I have a para P16-40 SS with a Limited slide that is a great gun, but has terrible accuracy. I have not seen many other .40s that shoot gnats @$$ accuracy, either. 'Course my problem just may be because I load both lead and jacketed in the mid-range of recommended powder charges. (BTW I also have a P14-45 that shoots unbelieveably accurately no matter what I feed it.) So, 'cause I'm always looking to improve what I already have, I'm thinking about doing a conversion to 10mm with a Bar-Sto or Kart barrel, and a heavy duty recoil spring. Now I need some expert advice from those of you who have been .45 shooters and who have made the move to 10mm:
Can the 10mm be as accurate as a .45?
Would loading up the .40 to a max charge to approximate the 10mm improve the effectiveness of the round? (I note in Speer's manual that there isn't much difference between the .40 and the 10mm with same weight bullets)
Is it really worth all the trouble to make the conversion?
Thanks, in advance, for your thoughts
