I have a Fusion Firearms custom built 1911 10mm 6-inch long slide. Fusion Firearms is run by Bob Serva, the owner of Dan Wesson Firearms when they introduced their 1911 models. It is a work of art and shoots great and with 45ACP recoil with the 6-inch slide weight.

Always liked the caliber. It reminds me of the Elmer Keith designed 41 magnum made for revolvers as a Police revolver round. More power than a .357 magnum less recoil than a .44 magnum. It failed as a Police revolver for multiple reasons. But it is a hell of a hunting round with revolvers slightly lighter than the .44s and with a bit less recoil. I always wanted one for $h!ts and giggles.

I looked at the 10 mm when they first introduced the round but the price of the pistol and the ammo put me off.

Maybe I will look at it again.

always thought of the MP-10 as the epitome of subguns

I had 3 10mms around 1988. Two stainless Colt Delta Elites and one Thompson 1911 style.

The Colts were beautifully made and shot fine. I could barely tell the recoil was heavier than the .45ACP, and these hot early Norma loads.

The Thompson was also a fine gun. I had one of their .45s which was OK but it was clear they had put much more effort into the 10mm. It was better finished and the tolerances seemed tighter.

All good guns but I would choose a large Glock now.

EAA Witness is a good gun based on the CZ75, and probably a lot less expensive than others. Never shot one in 10mm though.

I prefer a 40.
10 seems harsh to me.
Okay if I load it soft for target.
In the field I use the 44mag double action Ruger in bear country(full pressure loads)...with pepper spray & bells.

Wow. A firearms-related article that doesn’t include the word “chambered” in the first paragraph.

I recently purchased a Ruger SR-1911 10mm pistol. I want something I can shoot heavy, fast, cast-lead bullets out of. I evaluated the Glock Model 20 but to shoot lead bullets I would need to spend an additional $200+ to replace the barrel. The Ruger is one of the nicest quality pistols out-of-the-box I have ever owned. Recoil is snappy but not punishing. I’ve shot model 1911’s for years so there was not a new manual of arms to learn. I live in the mountains of North Idaho and there are black bears, cougars, meth heads, and assorted other targets about. I used to carry a 6-shot .357 Ruger GP-100. Now I have a 9 shot 10mm that certainly reloads a lot faster. If I haven’t solved the problem in 9 rounds I should have brought the 12 bore...

Thanks for posting this article. I have been interested in that Grand Power semiauto with the rotating barrel action, and the Ruger New Model Blackhawk with cylinders in both .40 S&W and 10 MM. Here is the Ruger site for that one-

My Glock 20, 10mm kicks buttocks! Love it.
