If you were in the market for a 1911 in 10mm what would you buy? I like what I have heard about the Colt Delta Elite, and a couple of the Dan Wesson's. Any others?

It’s been said the Ruger is a good one, just saying.

I just picked up a Springfield TRP RMR long slide and it is an excellent build.
Enough already, just shoot it!

Have had 1911’s in 10mm from Ruger, Colt, Dan Wesson and STI (2011). Plan to be buying the Springer 6” TRP RMR in the next week to so.

I have had 1911 10ms in Sig, Kimber, RIA, Colt, Dan Wesson and just bought a Springfield RO Elite. The RIA sucked and the Kimber had a few issues. I have not tried a Ruger yet but imagine they would be good to go. I would rate the Dan Wesson at the top and then Springfield nd Sig

Only own a Kimber Target II. No longer made, but they did come out with a 6" Target this year. Mine is very very accurate. Shoots fast. Feeds well. Highly recommend the Kimber.
Please God, give me some good tags this year....

I don't think you can go wrong with any of them...just depends on how much you want to spend and what features you like...
If this is going to be a Target/Hunting/Plinking/Range gun then I would suggest an adjustable target sight. For carry/hoe defense the Novak night sights.
Some like a checkered front strap and other, like me, like smooth.
Colt I believe is the only maker that doesn't have a ramped barrel.
Some have the Colt style Series 80 firing pin safety some don't.
Then you have to decide on a 5 or 6" barrel...the new Kimber Stainless Target is a 6" target sighted, smooth front strap, no firing pin safety model that is a bargain at $900 street price...
I have a Kimber Stainless Target II, PARA-USA Elite LS Hunter (now the Remington Hunter) and a RIA Combat Commander. All will put rounds in very small groups...
Good luck with your search....

I read the thread and I don't think it would worry me much. Sounds like isolated incidences of tooling getting out of adjustment. We will never know of course, but all three guns reported could have had the parts made on the same day on the same machine/operator even if the guns themselves weren't completed in the same year..
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost....

I am a big 1911 fan, but if get a 10mm, it'll be an XDm 5.25.
That pistol feels like it was custom made for me.

As for the final outcome, it's too bad that the owner of the problem gun didn't ever try the simple solutions offered by 1911Tuner. Or if he did, he never reported it. I've followed his posts on a couple of forums, and it's rare that he doesn't have the fix.
Lunatic fringe....we all know you're out there.

I've had a post in the classifieds for a day now for a Delta elite post 2004 and no responses. Tells me a couple things, either everyone loves their Colt Delta's, or there are not a lot of them out there. Either way. I probably am going to have to pay up for one

I had a Kimber good shooter no issues with that one. I use a DW Bob for my carry, good weapon, installed all new parts recently including Bar-Sto barrel. I try to stay away from real Hot ammo with that one, have a Fusion 6" no issues there, accurate, dependable. Have an STI 2011, best shooter of the bunch, will handle anything I throw at it. My woods gun is a Sig P220. That one is a beast. Trigger not quite as good as the others but its accurate, dependable, easier by far to strip and clean, feeds everything, has a rail as does the Fusion. If I had to pick one, it would be tough to decide. If the STI had a rail it would be that one, but I guess if I didn't want to customize it and wanted it for just the woods it would be the Sig.
