gunblast has never reviewed a gun that did not shoot good, especially a ruger, I will wait for the reports from the field.

I think I will wait a while to see how it works, I have had the Ruger LW Commander length gun, its an OK gun, had no problems with it, but traded it for something else. At 44 ounces it weights as much as my 44 magnum, so I can carry one to starboard and the other to port to keep myself from listing as I walk. My Ruger LWT Commander (aluminum frame, ramped barrel) now in 38 Super, weighs in at 33.4 ounces, with 10 rounds (9+1) and one mag in place. ![[Linked Image]](http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp77/wildcatter264/Tools/Ruger%20SR1911%20LWT%20Commander%2038%20Super.jpg) I imagine the same pistol in 45 ACP would be about 2 ounces heavier, based on my Colt LWT CCO (CCO is 7+1, same round count as a Commander length frame with a std mag) ![[Linked Image]](http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp77/wildcatter264/Tools/IMG_1134.jpg) I'm not sure where the 44 ounce weight being quoted for the SR1911 LWT Commander is coming from. Can you provide a source?

I'm not that up on the issues with the Delta Elite but I know an "unsupported" barrel has been bandied about. Would like to know if that applies to the SR1911 as well---or if its even a problem? The “unsupported” chamber is a much over-blown issue in 1911’s. The only time it is an issue is when you exceed SAAMI pressure limits for the given cartridge you’re shooting. It’s the reason we have a separate case for rounds like .45 Super, and many of the hot 9mm’s. The 10mm case is sufficient for a 1911 barrel in any SAAMI load, so unless you’re going to really hot rod things beyond SAAMI max, it’s really not a concern. Don't believe it. This myth is perpetrated by Delta Elite owners who can't come to grips with the fact that they have a .40 S&W that comes in long cases. Don't buy a 10mm that does not have an integral feed ramp and supported chamber. This is gospel in the 10mm community. The new Ruger SR1911 has an integral feed ramp and a fully supported chamber.

The Ruger SR2922 10mm is all SS, including the frame, which accounts for the 40.4 oz spec weight. This is about 1.5-2 oz heavier than a std steel frameGM, probably due to the bull barrel. I havent noticed that 2 oz difference makes a difference in carrying a 1911. The grip length and configuration have a lot more to do with eae of carry and balance than the weight difference, IMHO.

" ...is a much over- blown issue in 1911’s" Pun Intended Kevin? Can't speak for Colt Delta's... But Glock running a Glock barrel in 45 Super (with 45 Super brass) tends to put a 'smiley' on the case. The reason that with both of my Glock 45 Supers I've used an aftermarket barrel that had more support (KKM). YMMV, Jerry

Sigh. Delta's work just fine at SAAMI pressures which I believe is what Kevin said. I've shot thousands of them at book max without a single issue. The problem comes when you try to turn them into a .41 Magnum, which 10mm shooters love to try. You'd think we were 50's wildcatters, anything for another a few more fps. Damn the Pressure, Full Speed Ahead and if a case blows, why it's the gun's fault. And, of course, this is what happens: ![[Linked Image]](http://i524.photobucket.com/albums/cc327/Son_of_the_Gael/2d4d320d-cc21-4cec-a9d0-488956661253_zpsijfacrsi.jpg) BTDT obviously, and it was my fault, not the gun's. But really, SAAMI gets you 100 fps or more than a .40 and that ain't hay.

I'm very impressed with Ruger's 1911's. As a gunsmith I tend to see a good number of 1911's and I just don't see many Ruger's come across my bench...because they all work...at least that's my impression. Ruger has a LONG history making 1911 frames from doing casting work for Caspian. The cast frames Ruger/Pinetree are so good, Caspian all but discontinued their forged frames, because the demand just wasn't there.
All the other internals, whether investment cast, billet, or MIM, all the parts are nicely made, nicely finished, and the final assembly of the pistols is very good.
I'm absolutely delighted to see they're making a 10mm...always excited to see more life being breathed into this wonderful round. Or it could just be that Ruger is a "baby" in the 1911 manufacturing world.

Super excited. My first 10 was one of the long-slide, adjustable sight Glocks and I love it. I dont knowwhy I waited so long. I also have a couple of Ruger 1911 .45s and they have been great, even when compared to an Ed Brown. I suspect the Ruger in 10 will be great.

Hopefully they will produce a Commander length version quickly

Yondering and I keep having the discussion regards 40 smith and wesson vs 10mm. Most 10mm shooters have a +P+ 40 smith and wesson and most hand loaders for the 10mm are trying to make it a semi auto 41 magnum.
That said, if the Ruger 10mm with a ramped barrel has no initial hickups, and it turns out to have decent accuracy, then its a gun that I could get some use out of.

At 44 ounces it weights as much as my 44 magnum, so I can carry one to starboard and the other to port to keep myself from listing as I walk. My Ruger LWT Commander (aluminum frame, ramped barrel) now in 38 Super, weighs in at 33.4 ounces, with 10 rounds (9+1) and one mag in place. I imagine the same pistol in 45 ACP would be about 2 ounces heavier, based on my Colt LWT CCO (CCO is 7+1, same round count as a Commander length frame with a std mag) I'm not sure where the 44 ounce weight being quoted for the SR1911 LWT Commander is coming from. Can you provide a source? You and I have similar tastes. I had or have both of those guns as well.

I would not hesitate on getting that Ruger 10.
Cast Frame. They have come a long way in casting technology for guns.
Ramped barrel. Best if you like to hot rod the 10 with handloads.
Coned barrel. Cost cutting measure probably. Not preferred by me, but it might work out okay.
Don't know if it will accept an after market 1911 SB firing pin stop.
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

I stopped in at a local "toy store" last evening. Loaded a cart up with hydraulic and motor oil for the tractors, and then stepped over to the gun counter and fondled the SR1911. I gotta admit, I know didley about 1911s. But the gun felt solid and nice in my hand with a decent trigger. $799.99.
But zero 10mm available from their suplliers.
