38 Super, 10mm or 460?
Rob,
I have no experience with the 460, but from what I've seen it would be interesting to say the least.
The 38 Super is another with limited experience. It really does run well with the lighter bullets.
I'm most familiar with the 10mm, and if given the choice, would probably get the nod. There is a plethora of good "defense" bullets out there for the 40, and being into the 38-40, I shot hardcast thru the 10. Even with the 230 grain bullet, it will still step them out at 1100. (double tap even lists a factory 230 at 1120) With the light bullets over 1500 fps, it would give you a bit of both, velocity on the one end and a good heavy bullet on the other, combined with my preference that bullets starting with .4 in the designation are interesting.
All the best

- To me a Super is a +p+ 9mm - I'd go for more bullet weight -
