x2 It is definitely my next restricted purchase.

x3

I want one in the worst way but I already agreed no more for the rest of the year unless I sell something first

A Commander-length 1911 in 10mm.... Why that's just pure ###. Love mine.

Nothin finer than a bobtail commander.. when you actually hold one you realize its the most perfectly proportioned pistol in the world, and it feels great too!

 

[Jeff/1911]

Nice piece, dude!

G37,

That's one gorgeous handgun. Enjoy!

Indeed.

if I finally get one Id like to bead blast and blacken or perma-kote it (though I may change my mind after handling it)...anyone know any good smiths for this?

 

[G37]

Thanks all (and nice to see others who have as well).
The pistol is gorgeous and pics online definitely DO NOT do it any justice; as mentioned, feel is amazing (it shoots good too).
But enough of that... I've spent my weekend shooting the thing and I love it.

I've posted some data for anyone who's interested

Just a heads up for anybody looking for one in 45, I see P&D has one on their website.

Both Pieces Of The Puzzle

The top pistol is my 10mm Commander sized DW and the second is my 45acp DW Bobtail. In truth, I love both pistols but I prefer the feel of a Bobtail in my hand. My 45acp is an awesome pistol but the 10mm rocks! Regards, Richard

PS a lot of people have been sent to their graves by "Girlie" 45acps

What's the price like on factory 10mm ammo?

 

[Homesteader]

www.p-d-ent.com , it would appear $1650 is the price. It doesn't look like my link works, but it is on there home webpage straight off the link from above, just scroll down.

It's comparable to .45ACP last time I checked... but the real kicker is the 10mm Auto "Factory" ammo we get here in Canada (i.e. FMJ/TMJ 180gr cheap stuff) is basically .40S&W ammunition in 10mm Auto format

The coolest thing about 10mm is it's supposed to be on par with the .357Magnum, so... If you go 10mm Auto you HAVE TO reload!

That .45ACP DW CBOB looks sweet!

Thanks for the info. I really need to start reloading...
