Best 10mm 1911 Options?

[PuddleMonkey]

I DON'T WANT A BUBBLEGUMMING GLOCK!!! Now that we got that out of the way, I'm looking to pick up a quality 10mm 1911 to plink with. What are my options? I know Dan Wesson makes a 10mm or two, apparently Kimber does too although I've never seen one. Not big on the Delta Elite with the shoddy milspec sites. Are there any Sig, Springfield, S&W options? Any personal experience with any of the above?

Sig, nope
S&W had a 1006 or something like that in their 3rd gen. pistols prior to the M&P's.
Springfield no idea.

I have heard good things about the Dan Wesson.

Nighthawk and Wilson Combat also have 10mm options. I think a Dan Wesson Razorback is hard to beat.

It's unfortunate that the rumors of the Bren 10 being resurrected haven't come to fruition as of yet - if they get production going and bring them to market with all of the bugs worked out it would be worth a try...

Fusion arms makes some nice 10MM's . I've had alot of 10MM's and still have a glock and a dan wesson Razerback.

There is indeed a Sig 220 10mm

Just get a stainless 220 and send it off to Grays Guns for the 10mm conversion.
Not cheap though.

Rock Island is making a 10mm now. Somewhere in the $600 range. Quick look through the google-machine brought up some fairly good pics of said pop-gun. Doesn't look too shabby.

I've got a Dan Wesson CBOB in 10mm and I also bought a factory .40S&W barrel and spring for it. She looks and shoots great but she doesn't match my Glock 20's 15+1 round count so that ugly Glock is the one I carry when tromping around the woods.

Spendy, but I've always wanted a Reeder Ultimate 10

that looks pretty sweet

 

[PuddleMonkey]

Sig needs to suck it up and start making one.

What about CZ vs actual DW? Difference in quality? I noticed the older DW Razorbacks have a little more to them, the CZ version is very plain.

I've heard nothing but good things about the new RZ-10's. They don't make very many, so they are tough to find.

 

[PuddleMonkey]

I'm referring to when CZ took over DW, if there's a quality difference in the two.

Bruce does top notch work - wonder if he is taking new work now...

The STI Perfect 10 intrigues me . . .

I have beef with STI, while that particular model isn't too bad 80% of their line-up is butt-ugly!

I'm now considering a Glock 29SF. And before anyone asks, no I will not take back all the awful things I've said about Glock if I get it.

No problems here either way you go. I actually used to dislike Glocks but am a convert. I like my 20 a lot. I might look at a SF someday. I shot a 20 and a 1911 10mm side by side and was amazed how well the Glock shot and handled the recoil better than the steel pistol.

Welcome to the dark side! Don't get me wrong, I still love my 1911's and I was a die in the wool Glock hater for the longest time but the Glock 20SF won me over. The force IS strong. Gary
