I've been in the market for one for a while. Does 4.25 vs 5 v 6" barrel make that much of a difference to shoot? I'm not so much interested in velocity because 10mm out of any barrel is stronger than Superman so... Mainly looking at Alpha Foxtrot's newer Romulus 10mm. They have a true 4.25" and a 4.25" with compensator for 5" overall. I can't find a CBOB for a decent price so I am changing directions. Are 6" 10mm's that much nicer to shoot? I've only ever shot a commander 1911 in 10mm (Everything else was plastic or PCC). SHOULD I be looking at a DW Bruin or similar? Eight years to retirement! Just waiting! | ||

Tisas has a 10mm bobtail commander called the Yukon Carry. No personal experience, but the word seems favorable for them. https://tisasfirearmsusa.com/t...h-black-gray-finish/ "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

I owned 3 at one time. Was a fantastic pistol. Not sure why I'm not considering them now to be honest. Eight years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

I think so. I found a deal on a used STI Perfect 10 a few years back. It became my go-to 10mm for most anything but a carry piece. Not sure what a 10mm 2011 would go for now, but wouldn't be surprised if it would be a shock. | |||

For me, I would look hard at the Tisas Yukon (4.25 inch barrel) or even harder at the D10 (5.0 inch barrel). The Yukon is fitted with Fiber-Optic Front and U-Notch Rear. Features Ed Brown bobtail treatment, licensed from Ed Brown. I have not shot the Yukon, so no thoughts on control or recoil. The D10 was/is offered with a LPA Bomar Small Blade Adj. Rear Sight, Serrated Black Front Sight. 20LPI Checkering Front & Back Straps w/ Trigger Under Cut The D10FO is fitted with Fiber-Optic Front and U-Notch Rear. 20LPI Checkering Front & Back Straps w/ Trigger Under Cut. The D10s are two-tone finish. I have shot both versions of the D10 and had no issues with either. Recoil is manageable. FWIW, I shoot the D10s more accurately than my P220 R5 reverse two-tone. I attribute this to the 1911 trigger vs the DA/SA trigger of the P220. The Yukon can be had for around $542.29 + shipping and the D10s for around $612.44 + shipping. Pros - IMHO, the Tisas 1911 punch above their weight for the price. Forged frames, hammer forged barrels and lack of MIM parts (IIRC the recoil spring plug is the only MIM part) and series 70 internals. Cons - "Novak style sights". Sounds like Tisas in the past tried to license Novak style sight systems but Novak said no. To some this is a big deal, others not so much. Hopefully this post gives you some more options to consider. Be safe. | |||

I can get the Romulus for $1350. I’m waiting to see what some auctions go for the next two days then I might pull the trigger on the Romulus. Eight years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

I noticed that little play on words as well. I initially took it as Novak dovetail but not Novak sights. Eight years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

Unrated to you question but I just got the Chiappa Rhino 10mm snub and it’s so light recoiling it’s incredible. It feels tamer then 39 spcl through a J frame. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

I have the M&P 2.0 4.6" in 10mm. Great pistol and great ergonomics. It's still a stout recoil machine, but an excellent gun nonetheless. | |||

If you're not adverse to the 320 platform, I found the 320 xten comp to have less felt recoil than either the full size xten or p220 10mm when shot side by side. The loss in velocity through the xten comp was about 80fps, or less, when working up my handloads for all three pistols.This message has been edited.

Indeed. The 320 X-Ten comp with those expansion chamber cuts helps over the full size, and polymer helps soak up some recoil through some flexing. It shoots a little easier for me than my Colt Delta Elite and S&W 1006 ever did. ==================== "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." THOMAS JEFFERSON | |||

I had a Delta Elite years ago with a 24 pound recoil spring and my shell casings still landed 15 plus feet away. My Gen 4 glock 20 shoots super smooth! 10mm is a great choice!! | |||

Just got an FN 510 with factory comp. Hit 400 rounds with zero issues. Very accurate and the comp absolutely helps with recoil. Its fun to shoot | |||

As far as barrel length, is it going to be a range toy or a carry gun? If for carry, then get a length you can comfortably carry. Few of us are as tall as Hickock45, which means we don't find 6" barrels practical for carry. I'm a 10mm fan. For hammer fired, I like Tanfoglio. For striker, I like Glock, but I also have a M&P 10mm that I've been happy with in the less-than-a-year I've owned it. I trust the Glock more, due to some negative experiences w/ the M&P 10mm posted by members of this forum. The Glock 10mm platform simply has a much longer & proven track record. | |||

I like my XDM Elite 3.8 in 10mm with an extended 15 rd mag. Still easy to carry and recoil is not bad. | |||

| come and take it |
10mm is on my want to buy list but I remembered this 10mm interview (3 minute YouTube video) by Brownell's with Les Baer. Brownell's guy seems to really like the 6" slide. "The left can't applaud me because their hands are in other people's pockets." - Javier Milei | |||

Can you shoot 40 s&w in that rhino?? | |||
|

Could you or should you? The question relies on weather the cartridge index on the case rim or shoulder. If it is shoulder indexed, you HAVE to use moon clips and the projectile jumps from the case mouth to the shoulder index in the cylinder. This may result in shavings from the projectile ending up in the charge holes and creating an issue from prolonged use of .40 cartridges in the weapon. I have never handled a Korth and can offer no first hand opinion. This is based on handling a 1917 Smith and a 610 Mountain gun, both of which headspace on the shoulder of the cartridge. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
