Is there a Sam 1911 in 10mm? . . . yeah

[dallasm]

Now there is.

Just finished getting it setup and ready for its first range trip....

 

[john92awd]

Lookin good!

 

[Shooter1of38]

Nice! Such a great caliber

 

[09outlander]

That's awesome, I've just started thinking about adding a 10mm to my collection.

 

[JR Hartman]

really cool. I do want a 10 in my collection one day.

 

[trebor2880]

10mm and a 38 Super, would round out my collecion of 1911's, nicely.

 

[09outlander]

I was going to order an STI Perfect 10 but I realized that the grip portion of the frame is polymer. So now I'm looking at the Kimber Eclipse or Colt Delta Elite.

That is a beauty! Have fun with it Dallas.

You could get a SVI, similar to the STI but with alloy frames.

Yeah, the frame is modular, the top part where the rails are is stainless but the grip and trigger guard are polymer. If I'm paying nearly 3k for a handgun I don't want any plastic.

Thats my thinking too .

Damnnnn back to the drawing board, a STI 10mm would of been sweet but not dishwasher friendly

Same here, I think I'm just going to try and find a Kimber Eclipse Custom II, there's to many things about the Colt Delta Elite I dislike.

Oh and to the OP, sorry about derailing your thread, it's not everyday 10mm talk pops up on this board.

 

[dallasm]

No worries - love the 10mm too!

Well after the first 100 rounds - no failures and some very messed up paper!

Love this gun - 10mm conversion successful!

Where did you get the conversion barrel? Was the gun originally for .40 or .45?

 

[09outlander]

Definitely need more details.

 

[dallasm]

Gun started as a 40S&W.

5" 10mm barrel, magazines (made by Metalform), 22lbs recoil spring and FO front sight are from Fusion Firearms. Rear sight is a Heinie.

Total cost around $850 all in to date including the gun, barrel, mags, springs, grips, sights.

I need to do a trigger job next as it's a bit heavy.

 

[Ceska]

Hot gun! I want a 10mm in my collection as well. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Shooter1of38]

10mm 1911's rule!

my Dan Wesson Classic

 

[black sunshine]

how does the 10 mm mag fit in the frame
