10 MM 1911

[wcd]

Skip the Rock Island (sorry just my opinion). Ruger is solid value for the money. It looks like you are in TN but there is a Ruger 10 mm and Tanfo 10 mm in the classies. That Tanfo is a nice piece. I have a similar model.

Ruger's have always been good guns for me. I have the Original Gov size and the Aluminum commander size very happy with both.

I have a Springer TRP Tactical in 10mm. It was a .45 when I got it. It sucked. Springer sucked in fixing it. Large amounts of cash changed hands. It is now a sltck as snot 10mm to die for.
Get the one you like. But get a full size just because.
This little turd will rock your world with full monti loads.....

Fiocchi also makes a 1250 fps 180 gr load but I have not shot it....I do like their 9mm and shotgun ammo.

I think most of the other off the shelf stuff runs in the 1000-1100 fps range?

ableammo is good at posting velocities. these are the 180s unless otherwise marked.

I've shot many a magnum J-frame SW that has far more snap than a 10 mm. The 1911 is a relatively stout platform that soaks up a lot of the recoil. Now the slides tend to be beefy so you have some reciprocating weight.

My experience with first time 10mm shooters is their response tends to be, "Well, That wasn't too bad".

Go rent one with some Sig 1250 fps ammo or maybe someone nearby will let you shoot one. The Sig ammo is a decent approximation of the original loads. Sure isn't the screamers mentioned up thread or the downloaded stuff on the store shelf.

Here is a pic of a proper 10mm by CM...he knows how to do 10 mm!

where can I get one of those?

I've asked before but forget... was the Colt Delta Elite 10mm capable of handling the full power loads? It came out way back when 10mm was hot but I don't recall if it survived the pounding.

I know of an original Colt for sale in near perfect condition. It isn't cheap. It might be a good trade for my 44 S&W 629 though. Thinking about it...

No. That gun is why the load was neutered.

I am to understand the newer ones are better but still highly over priced.

Here is a thread that covers the CDE pretty well.

It is a hoot trust me on this....

Do you have any information on that gun?

I will jump in with what I know.It is a re-barreled S&W. AllenM did he work. I am sure mcapo will come around and fill in the gaps I have left.

 

[deo62]

If I had to guess, I would say it would make a pretty good flare gun. LOL!

CM is correct. It is a converted SW CS40. Pretty simple conversion though the CS40 was a relatively low production gun. Started out as below. AllenM is a master!

With the right loads nd that short barrel I beat it does carry a serious muzzle flare at dusk.

Everyone needs a 3" 10 mm.

Some people thought the conversion was crazy but, as you said, its a hoot of a gun.

I bet that with some practice you could actually hit something with it.......

I sure could not.
