What 1911 in 10mm

[johnwin84]

I would get the sig over the 1911. I owe a nicer 1911 ( dan wesson silverback) and still prefer the sig over it.

^^^ Is that a 310 Night Guard? If so, any issues with the frame?

[johnwin84]

Yep. Its a 310, im probably the 3rd owner. The previous owners didn't shoot it much. I only fire 18 round so far. The frame seem fine

But first we have to ask, what is your purpose for a 10mm 1911?

[uhhohh]

I have a Kimber Eclipse in 10mm as well. Only likes to eat good ammo. I've been buying a lot of the SigSauer 180g FMJ's that snaps back stouter than usual. The Kimber seems to like eating that a lot. The weird thing was that it starting to nick the guide rod. How, I have no idea but when I called Kimber, they sent me a new SS guide rod and spring with no questions asked.

G20SF, I love it that one & my G29SF love that one too and it only eats defensive loads.

I don't have a nice 10mm collection..., yet... I've been toying with the idea to re-chamber a Ruger GP100 into a 10mm. Maybe might just turn out to be a novel idea...

For the budget you have, buy anything you want. If the 10mm bug bites you there are so many platforms to choose from now. I don't think 10mm will go anywhere soon.

Good luck!

Dan Wesson Razorback RZ-10

I have regrets selling mine..

Get a 2011 frame and build one with a 6" slide and bull barrel. That will tame the hottest 10mm load.

[Fishslayer]

No brainer for me. Dan Wesson RZ 10. Not on the roster though.

[LowThudd]

None are on the roster except for the Kimber AFAIK. You might consider buying a donor 1911 in .45 and have a builder build it how you like. If I was looking to spend $5k, that is what I would do, especially in this state. In that case, I would go with a Stainless Springfield GI. Excellent (bones) for a custom. Or, a Dan Wesson. But that would eat into the build funds. What ever you do, make sure the builder puts in a ramped, fully supported barrel.

[LowThudd]

Here is what happens to full house 10mm loads in an unsupported chamber. lol

[crufflers]

If you are into rails, the new Delta Elite Rail Guns should be out soon if you just leave CA or you have a relative to gift you one.

[Marinos]

I can't speak for that price point but I did pick up a Rock Island 10mm for well under $1000 back when there was still SSE. It comes with a fully supported barrel but did not like to cycle with full power 10mm loads. I sent it in to Rock Island and they replace a few springs and polished the feed ramp. It now cycles everything 100 percent. I have even shot 40 S&W through it just to see if it'd cycle weak loads. I have about 200 rounds through it and there are no signs of any stress on the slide. Don't buy a 10mm unless it has a fully supported barrel.

I'm sure somewhere in the bylaws and "whylaws" there is an ADA compliance mandate that says you must install ramps for feed-challenged and pressure-stressed ammo.

Poor thing; I say anything chambered in 10mm should be exempt from the Roster as it qualifies for a special-needs class.

Get the ACLU on this - stat!

For this reason, plenty of 10mm ammo is advertised with special notations that state "do not use in X-brand gun" (which usually the Delta Elite is cited) or "do not use in guns without fully supported chamber".
