As far as a double stack 1911 in 10mm, that's a tough one as STI does not list 10mm as an option in their double stacks. Caspian does sell DS receivers, including titanium:

and you could do cool things like get a Damascus slide for it smile But there will be lead time to obtain the parts and get them fitted.

In single stack 10mm 1911's today, I'd take a hard look at Dan Wesson's Silverback series. If money is no object Nighthawk makes some wonderful 10mm's. Colt is offering Delta Elites now with frame rails, but AFAIK they don't have fully supported barrels, which limits how heavy you can load.


Gotta stay with the Novak style rear sight Tex, that beautiful Silverback is Bar-Sto.

The DW Valor makes me weak in the knees, if I decide not to spend the money for a custom built double stack, I'll buy a Valor and call it REAL GOOD! smile


Trump Won!
