Has anyone bought, vetted, and put into carry duty, a 1911 chambered in 10mm? If so...thoughts, caveats, experiences? | ||

A 10mm Cbob was my ccw for 3years. Now in Md, so no more ccw. | |||

My primary carry is a DW Silverback in 10 mm. I find it handles better than my 1911s in .45acp. Freedom comes from the will of man. In America it is guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment | |||

Carried a Colt Delta for quite a while in the old Bianchi Askins Avenger holster. Concealed well. Shot great when I could afford ammo for it. Which at that time was the old Norma 170 Gr. JHP. To me it carried like any other 1911, but a little lighter. Like an idiot, I sold it. As soon as I get some disposable $$$, I will try out the Ruger SR 10mm.

Don't know why not but I find the 10mm in a 1911 more abusive with full power ammo than the 45acp. IF YOU AREN'T HANDLOADING, YOU AREN'T SHOOTING ENOUGH! NRA Instruc: Basic Pistol & Met Reloading | |||

I know a couple of guys here who have carried full size Colt 10mm regularly. I carried a DW Classic CBOB in 10mm for a while. I have not generally found the commercial loads to be too punishing to carry. I don't think you have to carry full power loads to get the benefit of 10mm in a self defense situation, but that's just my off the top of the head, uninformed opinion. It would be interesting to know if anyone has done self-defense or other sort of similar training with 10mm and how it went. Seems I remember a comment by Bruce Gray about shooting .357sig as a self defense round and he thought, if I recall correctly, it was too snappy and hard to control for most people to use as a self defense round, However, I may not be remembering correctly. If he thought that of .357sig, I expect 10mm would just be more of the same. | |||
