Since June has come and gone, is there a latest ETA on the 10mm conversion?

I know you guys are probably wondering where the hell your slides are, so here's an update.

I shipped the slides off to have the breech faces machined and they arrived back in the shop on Thursday. Now, I'll be able to go into production mode and knock out the rest of the slide work. I can finally fit the barrels and send things off for refinishing.

The only delay I can see now will be caused by the mags, which we're having custom engineered and built specifically for us.

Scott,

Thanks for the update. I'm sure you can understand the agony caused by waiting........

BTW, what you are seeing is the third customer gun as it came back from the range. The mags are 8-round Metalform. We will supply 10-round mags as well. I'd like to ask each of you to tell us what combination of 8's and 10's you'd like? We'll also have extra mags available for sale on a reasonable cost-plus basis to keep you all in mags 'till Hell freezes over.

Bruce - get'n time for me to pay up. Need to pick 8's and 10's. Do you have pics of the 10 rounders in your mag well?

When are we doing a group buy on 10mm Ammo ?

I can probably aid you fellas in that. I should be able to get a good price from our supplier if we buy in bulk. Let me look into the prices I can get and we'll see what we can do for you guys.

in case some of you have missed it, the GGI traning website is up and i just tweaked it a bit including pictures with captions

how is this related to the 10mm project you might ask?

in the gallery, you'll find a picture of a 220 Elite converted to 10mm and refinished in Gray-gun-nite

9mm,
Funny you should mention the 10mm project in the gallery of the training site. I was thinking this AM that there should be a page on the GGI's site dedicated to this pistol conversion and poof your post. Guess great minds do thing alike - well some what anyway
Wangle

it's a bit easier for me to update the traininng site than the regular site...that's why is doesn't look as nice

great minds...hhmm...kick back and let the dark side out

Exciting project, this 10mm Sig. I can say a little about the barrels.

Bar-Sto's reputation does not need bolstering, but I had a chance to visit their facility. Great shop.

Irv Stone gave me a tour of the steps from bars of stainless steel to finished barrels. Even saw some barrels for this project.

I left with the impression Irv makes sure anything leaving his shop is of the highest quality.

+ a million for Irv and his products. There are none better, nor better people.

Bruce, agree a million about Barsto and remarks apply a million+1 about you and your crew!

Apologies if this has been brought up before.
Since glock was able to make a plastic 10mm, why don't we try a 10mm full size 250?

Anyone game? Maybe a while yet before the Sigs come out anyway, but doesnt hurt to ponder the requirements to try it.

Hadn't thought about it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. As long as the frames and opening in the frame rail is large enough for a 45 size magazine, we're good to go.

How much interest is there?

Incase you fellas are hoping for an update, we're nearly done with the breech face cleanups. After that's finished, we're moving on to adding weight to those slides that have been lightened by the factory, it's about 60% in case you wanted to know.

Once we have the weight blocks in and ground to perfection, we'll start fitting barrels, this it's off to the refinishing shop for the Graygunite/Super Black for those who want it.

Torie and Roy spent most of last week working on magazine wells and beaver tails for those who requested them. If you're debating between getting a mag well or not, remember this.......Chicks Dig Mag Wells....

We're making progress, with the 10mms on a daily basis, it's just a slow process to finish them.

It's obvious that a caliber conversion done right is an involved process. It's gratifying to see that GG is attending to all the details. Thanks for the update.

and the details are immense. We've redone 6 breech faces due to them looking kinda "Off", the dimensions were perfect, but it has to look good too, so we're making them all look as perfect as possible.

Cool

Any idea on starting a Ammo group buy >

It's a bit late now, but let me talk to my supplier and see what kind of killer deal I can get on High Quality reloads.

Anybody interested?

Someone over on the HKPro boards did a conversion an a fullsize USP to 10mm. I have heard some rumblings from GGI about doing a USP 10mm conversion.

I'm definitely interested.
