Probably bad ammo but that is why I like the 1911 over the Glock...with the Glock the frame would have probably split... Even with the unsupported chamber of the Delta only minor damage...

A man needs good tools that he's proud of.


They also hold their value more than all the others.

Untold thousands, never kept count. Full house means different things to different people but let's say I've tested the limits of the design. Broke one extractor.

SOTG, that's a beauty! Liking that oversize safety. Lefty here.

Thank you LD.

Lefty here too, can work around about anything but the safety. Trigger finger works the slide and mag releases just fine.

Speaking of 1911 10mm's, I shot a big old wild black boar at 534 yards yesterday morning with my heavy 300 win from the back porch, he made the 15 yards into the thick brush, I put my DW 10mm stoked with 200gr XTP's in my pocket and headed up to find him, I parked the 4 wheeler and walked the last hundred yards up to where he was hit so I could hear, i went into the thick pines, mud and down steep bank, there he lay, it was a rainy, windy crappy morning, I felt plenty well equipped with that 10mm going into a chitty muddy thicket with what may have been a still alive and pissed off boar.

Handled a 10mm SR1911 yesterday after examining an XDM in 10mm (sadly, the XDM won't work for me with my hand issue,, and I thought of this thread. Which prompted me to review the linked rugerforum thread. It strikes me that an awful lot of guys seem to think that a heavier recoil spring is a potential cure for a host of feed problems in a 1911. But that's a subject for another thread.

While considering a 10mm for myself, I'm apparently limited to one with a single stack mag and slim grip, such as the 1911. What other pistol fits that description?

To me, my EAA Witness pistols compare well with a 1911.

FreeMe...only other one I can think of the SIG P220...have not handled one for a long time so not sure how much bigger around than a 1911 is...

That said, what's wrong with a good 1911....lots of them out there from $500 RIAs to $4K Nighthawks...

Thanks for the response, RJM. Nothing wrong with a good 1911 at all, and it's also what I'm most familiar with outside of DA revolvers and the Kahr. It's been years since I handled a Sig 220, and I honestly don't remember what I thought of it. I'll have to check that out. Pretty likely I'll go with a 1911 though.

I have a Sig P220 in .45 ACP that I like well enough I'd really like one in 10mm!
