Ruger 1911 in 10mm

[D. Hargrove]

Yes it was, I am considering this gun strongly. Saw a few on Gunbroker for 699.00, buy now price. Need one like a hole in my head, but ya know how that goes...

I've been kicking the idea of a ten around for a year now. This one might put me over the edge. Almost bought a Glock...

Can you buy "full house" 10mm easily or is it still the watered down stuff they sold for so long?

Looks like Doubletap is making a bunch of rounds. Some pretty high numbers, but I can't say if they're the "full house" power level, but they seem pretty impressive.

I have been looking at this a bit.
My .45ACP is around:
830 fps
350ft lbs
10mm from Armscor http://www.luckygunner.com/10mm-auto-180-gr-fmj-armscor-1000-rounds-1
1150 fps
529 ft lbs

Looks decent to me.

Underwood and Buffalo Bore also make full power loads. The SIG 10mm is also right up there. The S&B loads aren't bad either. It's a good time to have a 10mm. The S&B 180 gr FMJ was on sale recently at Sportsman's Guide for $300/1000.

My bad experience was with a DW Pointman 7, an early one. The rear sight was just pinned in place instead of being dovetail. The recoil sheared the roll pin - actually 2 of them - and as it left the slide it also took the threads for the elevation adjustment screw.
Two lessons learned:
1) always get a dovetailed rear sight on a 10mm slide
2) never buy another DW

Early DW before CZ had issues, now they are some of the best 1911s out there.

I have a pre-CZ DW Pointman, and I had the same issue with the rear sight. After sending me a couple of replacement roll pins, they replaced the sight with a dovetailed version under warranty, and it's been great ever since. Poor design, since rectified.

That is the only problem I've ever had with mine; otherwise, it's been as reliable as a stone axe, even when dirty. Love the thing.

I've been drunk since I've last seen one, but didn't the old ones have a goofy proprietary sight on the rear? Did they replace the entire slide?

I've been comparing this new Ruger to the DW Razorback. Roughly $600 separates them (current street prices). Are there any parts on the Ruger that ya'll wouldn't trust?

Nope.
