Lets breath some life back into this thread-Anyone own one of these Ruger 10mm? Reviews on it?

I would love to shoot one of these.

Having a few 10mm's I am always interested.

The metallurgy will have to be improved over the SR1911's if you want to run full house 10mm loads.

Just my personal opinion, but I think Ruger would have been MUCH better off with a higher capacity closer to that of the Glock of around 12 or more rounds. Possibly prohibited by something inherent to the 1911 design maybe? But capacity in full sized HG's is a major selling point.

Para had an entire line of double stacks in 45 ACP. It is doable. My 10mm Bob commander is a 9 shot (10mm)

There's a certain irony IMO of running a 10mm in a 1911. The 10mm was all about improving on the .45; it was Cooper's effort to build a more modern combat handgun caliber that would have more power AND more capacity.

And then we turn around and load this modern, hi performance pistol cartridge...in a single stack 1911.

It's like putting Cam 2 in a Model T.

There are ways to run 10mm in a 1911 that work for me:

While I would like to add a 10 mm 1911 to the stable (Colt Delta Elite or the Ruger) - I have zero complaints about my S&W 1006.

I have shot both of CM's custom 10's and man they are awesome and truly a work of art. Recoil is very manageable and deadly accurate

All of a sudden, the number one spot on my WANT list has changed! Two spectacular firearms!

A couple of years ago I got the bug for 10mm. I wanted either a delta elite or a Sig p220. But then I thought well, what if I don't really like it and spend that much for it. So my wife talked me int buying something cheaper, shoot it for awhile, and if I like it enough, sell the cheap one and get what I want. So I bought a RAI 10mm 1911. And I enjoy the hell out of shooting it.

So now I'm thinking about upgrading. I rarely run hotter ammo through the RAI because I don't want to wear it out sooner. So now I'd like to get something Nice, something I feel is built to handle shooting hotter loads out of. The Rugers look interesting. But CM's customes are like
