Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 10mm owners/fans - your fave out the box?

Not the Double Eagle; I've shot the Colt Delta 10mm. To me it kicked more than the Glock, although I do like a 1911 trigger more than a Glock trigger.

The plastic Glock grip frame with wider grip plus the weight, seems to make the Glock 40 a rather pleasant gun to shoot. On that note, I like it better than the Delta.

I would think the Double Eagle would handle similar to the Delta, minus the 1911 trigger.

I took the Glock Armorer course years ago and they don't even mention trigger jobs. It's all part replacement.

Its still a 1911 trigger, after the first pop.
The weight in regards to the mousetrap makes it equal to the LS Para posted for recoil.
Its second hand, in regards to the idiot mark, but it handles the same 200 gr. 10mm loads easily.
It could use some more chamber support. The Para has it.

Ruger 1911 here. Found it for the price of a Rock Island at the LGS. Shoots 180 XTPs to about 1250 very accurately, about as accurate as my series 70 .45 Gold Cup. I’m very happy with it, except for it’s tendency to throw brass like an AK.

Funny, I love the cartridge, but the only one I've got, or ever had, is the Glock 20 I got over 20 years ago. I was close to getting a Sig a few months ago, but didn't. Would really like a 1911. If a Les Baer weren't a couple of years wait, last I heard...

Anyway, the Glock shoots 180 grain XTP at 1300 over 2400 powder. I had to put in a heavier recoil spring than stock, also replaced the plastic recoil spring guide rod with a heavy one. I shoot new Starline brass for the XTP's, reload it once with 180 grain plated lead hp's and toss it. The Glock was my knocking around on quad, horse or tractor gun when on the farm. I've always been amazed at what I could hit out to 100 yards or so with it. At my former club, we had a berm at 70 yards on the pistol range and the Glock would break clay pigeons on there very consistently.

Not sure what all my bud did, but it worked. He may have replaced some parts, springs for sure. Polished others.

He's a retired SWAT LEO and sniper, gunsmith for years.

He could build better rifles than his dept bought, but for legal reasons, they had to go with factory stuff.

Good guy. In today's LEO environment, I think he's glad to be retired.

I've had a number of 10's. IMO the best was the first, the Smith and Wesson 1006. Kinda wish I still had one. I've had two Glock 20's. Just can't warm to them.

There's not much to warm to in a Glock. They are great tools, though.

EAA Witness Elite. 15 Shot.

glock 20, its as good a close range blaster as you can get. I like the sig but not for twice the price, now if I could wring all of the accuracy out of a sig that exists in the gun, then maybe yes, but for me and my common handgun skills at 7 yards the g20 is "worth the money" and it don't weight a ton. Plus it won't every let you down when you need it to fire.

No mention of the SA XDm 10mm?

I thought the XDm platform was good to go.

The only 10 I've had is the XDM 4.5" model. It shoots fairly soft with 180gr/1250fps ammo and it carries easily enough. I like the sights and the trigger is fairly decent. I bought it for a hard-use outdoors and truck pistol and it gets nasty and beat up. No complaints yet.

I’ve owned 10mm autos since 1990 ….. I still have my 6 inch long slide Springfield Armory Omega and the Glock 20 G3 I’ve had since 2001 .

I owned a Colt Delta Elite made in 1990 and it was the only 10mm I sent on its way . Fixed sights , rattled quite a bit and just wasn’t up to Colts standard ( the standard I thought Colt was known for ) . Mind you , it ate everything that was put in the magazine , just seemed cheap and got battered .

I would stay with the linkless designs and fully supported barrels / chambers if you are going to be reloading or shooting spicy loads .

Nice.

Bet it shoots as good as it looks.

I always did like the CZ 75 design. EAA does a good job with those guns.

I have heard mixed reviews regards the witness 10mms.

What's the deal?

DF

I had one and it shot OK but I just didnt care for the way it felt. It just felt clunky to me

Smith who worked on my Glock 40 has one of these. The XDM trigger (he worked on it) is much better than the Glock (even after a trigger job).

DF

I had an EAA 9mm that had been tricked out as a comp gun. It shot great. I gave it to my son. He still has it.

Google might help you.

Something randomly selected...

EAA just has that rep for not only not paying but being really rude to their customers and sending back unfixed guns all the time too.
