Considering the Dan Wesson Bruin and have some questions. Is the 10 MM chamber fully supported? Is it a "series 70" style? Is the main spring rod full length or "GI" style? Single or multi main springs?

The Dan Wesson site doesn't tell me any of these things. Nobody in this town has one for me to look at and I will have to go to an on-line seller to get one.

Thanks for your help.

Not sure,

I have had a razor back, and currently a pre cz pm10.

It will be 70 series.

It may be a ramped barrel. Iirc all the non 45 acp's are ramped barrels now.

It will be a match grade chamber, that will not chamber glock bulged reloads.

I am not sure about the gide rod. My guardians are gi style, vbob is gi, my pm9,pm10, and pm7 are full length.

There is also their 715 357 mag revolver. Put 180 grn bear loads in that....

There's an article on the 10mm Bruin in the latest issue of "Guns" magazine.

Pictures show a GI style recoil setup, although the plug looks a little longer than standard. If by "Series 70" style you mean a lack of firing pin safeties or Swartz-style safety; than yes, it is a "Series 70" style. If by "main spring" you mean recoil spring, it is a single.

It has a ramped barrel like other DW 10mm's, and offers as much case support, if not more, than any other 10mm on the market; certainly more than a Glock or Colt Delta.

I'm gaga about my Silverback. If I wanted a long slide, the Bruin would be the one. (I just don't want to buy a new crop of holsters.)

Thanks Mesabi. Just cut the bottom out of your holsters and you can be fine with the Bruin.
