Does the EAA have a supported chamber?

All that said about me not wanting to shoot watered down loads in my 10mm, I still think a 45 Auto-Rim in a handy 5" barreled revolver would be fun as hell, even though their are 44 Mags, 45 Colts, and a FA 454 here.

250 gr hardcast at 1000 fps would have to be loads of fun, not to mention very effective on deer and pigs.

Fotis, good shooting, I'd hit something that ugly 15 times too.

Viking, IIRC the EAA's do have a ramped barrel.

EAA is tempting.

I wouldn't hit that.

Gunner I didn't look at those links, but from what you're saying, suspect they are about shooting a .40 in a 10mm. I've never done it and don't plan to. IMO the main point is that you can shoot a 40 in a 10 and not vice-versa, just like a 44 Spec. in a 44 Mag. It just makes the 10mm platform more versatile than a straight-40. The 40 is a lot more easily obtained than the 10, although this is less the case than it used to be. Some Walmarts around here even carry 10mm...but it hasn't been too long ago this wasn't the case and there are still a lot more options with the 40.

Yup, notwithstanding versatility, gives us enough cause and reason for more handgun purchases.

I've had my fill of the 10...maybe. I've owned and shot a bunch, successfully reloaded it, etc. Right now it doesn't interest me a lot. The 40 never did, but at one time everything was off the shelves around here but 40. So having resisted the cartridge for years, I got one. I've got a 40 right now because I've got a lot of 40 ammo. I never did stock up on the 10 properly, or I'd still have one of those.

I'm loving this DW 10mm EE, I should ask those in the know about the brass, I have already fired one bag of 100 twice, have it all reloaded again, that said my carry loads are loaded with new brass from another bag, the twice fired 10mm brass looks just fine, no smileys Buddy.

The 40 to me is a utility cartridge, a straight working gun, guess that's why my 40 is a 16 round P226, it has never once hinted at any sort of balk and is more than accurate for SD/CC purposes with both the 140 gr Barnes at 1250 or the 200 gr Nosler HP's at 1050, I'm no pistol hand but can't tell one bit of difference in the point of impact with either load out to 20 yards, she's a keeper too.

Gunner, I looked at 10mm 1911's before the G20 and didn't find what I was looking for, I was looking at a lower price point though. The Valor is a sharp looking handgun and I hope you enjoy the hell out of it!

I was a dedicated 1911 45 fan for a few decades but sold my Kimber Classic around 1998, dumb move for sure!

In reference to running 40's in a G20, I wanted to use my Glock for the CCW test and reloads were not allowed. I watched the videos and read what was available on on the subject and I was not able to make a 40 chamber in front of the extractor, so I grabbed a box of white box 40's and had no issues whatsoever so I passed on buying a 40 conversion barrel. My thought back then was to use 40's for practice because the brass is cheaper and easier to find at the range so losing a handful was a non-issue. I solved the brass problem by adding a G19 to the lineup along with 1000's of once fired brass and stocked up on 180's and 200's to run full throttle in the G20.

The black plastic fantastic's are addictive but I still want a 10mm Nightguard bad.

I don't know if these have been mentioned: 6" in single and double stack.

Absolutely!

Off of the 10mm subject but relative to 1911s, I just bought an all-stainless 1911. I have an all-blue and a CM/SS hybrid, the frame being SS and the slide being CM.

I justified it by saying I needed it for the transition from CM to SS to be complete....I know, getting thin, but.....

Then my Daughter says she really likes a SS slide better than CM, referring to the two-tone gun,

New Objective! (read that, Another 1911!!!). A two-tone with SS slide and CM frame.

Now, You and your 10mm thread comes along! I can relax for a while now, I have all the reasons in the world for more 1911s.

I used to carry on duty a 1911 platform chambered for 45 Super. It was a custom pistol, it had a Kart bull barrel and one heck of a recoil spring. Plus, compared to the striker fired pistols the trigger on that 45 Super was a dream. I don't foresee striker fired pistols ever equaling the pure joy of a tuned 1911 trigger.

That is also an alternate interest...The .45 Super.

All of my 1911s have most of the right parts in place, or so I think. So far, EGW flat Firing Pin stop, 23 lb mainspring, extra power Firing pin spring. From what I understand, a pretty heavy recoil spring finishes the project.

At the risk of a minor, short hijack, what else did you use?

I started on stupid and bought a Model 29 "Dirty Harry Special". To compound my stupidity I sold that model 29. I carried it for a year before I went to the 45 Super. While my 45 Super was being built I borrowed a 686. After the 45 Super I bought my Glock 20 and finished my career with it.

I like the 29, but in the 4 inch version, started playing with H110 today, but the 10mm in a glock might be s lighter carry

Thanks Dave, I got the DW Razorback, am liking the hell out of it, the reason for the RB instead of the Valor was because I have a 200 dollar credit at my 'Smiths, will use that for a nice custom front strap checkering job, he already gave me a nice stainless magwell, also, wanted to shoot the 200 gr bullets, had to make sure the load shot to point of aim with the factory sights, new going in I'd have to replace the black sights on the RB with night sights, in case I had to make sight height changes, it could be done then.

40's in a 10 could be fun practice, or if sthtf shot for defense, that said, I've been looking at a 460 Rowland conversion kit for an all steel 1911, and that's Gibbys fault.

supercrewd, have heard plenty like the RIA's, i damn near bought a double stack 10mm.

LOL, Glad I could help Vic ;]

MD, a 45 Super for a carry gun would bring plenty of peace of mind, and yessir, not only the triggers, but no other handguin points, comes into peripheral sights on target, or feels/fits my hand better, IIRC, getting the gun out and on target and firing accurately first is what it's all about.

Speaking of Dirty Harry, today I bought a 1956 year model 5 screw N frame S&W revolver with a 6.5" target barrel, grips, and trigger chambered in 45 ACP, ordered some full moon clips, 300 sticks of Starline 45 Auto Rim brass and a shellholder.

That damn thing is gonna be a blast, I'll shoot warm 230 gr FMJ-FP's 45 Super loads in Super brass with the moon clips and warmish 250 gr flat nosed hardcast bullets in the auto rim brass.
