Your best bet is Glen.....

......I have had one in the past, but that was many moons ago. Glen probably has more 10mm experience than many of us here put together.

By the way, we have sold many RIA pistols, to include 10mm. All our customers rave about them for the money. I bought one myownself. Mine is a wondererful pistol, a full rail 5" .45 that is extremely soft and smooth to shoot. There are a few rough edges, but that is part of the fun. You get to hone things to your satisfaction.

BTW, I did pick up a 10mm 1911 of my own recently, but have yet to play with it. It ihas a 6" slide and barrel, the Elite LS Hunter by Para-USA. I have high hopes it will be a semi-auto death ray. As for reports that the 1911 is not up to the round, frankly I was always a bit concerned in that regard. My limited experience, and I'm sure Glen will confirm this, is to pay close attention to your springs. Don't use a lower power hammer spring either. And get yourself one of the firing pin retaining plates with a squared off rather than beveled bottom, that is supposed to slow things down a bit as well.

I bought the 6 incher to obtain more velocity, and to get the added weight and perhaps slower unlocking that the longer slide and barrel should hopefully deliver.
