And the cause?
Sure, plastic gun comes apart = blood blisters.

Old news.
20.4 is well documented to have addressed that issue.
1911 and case support? DE anyone?
Your sig, "You're in range...", not "your"
My comment about the 1911 wasn't regarding case support, more towards the design as whole (built for 45 ACP pressures, and resulting slide velocities) being adapted to 10mm.
Sure, springs can be strengthened, but 'fit' wear, slide galling... It just wasn't designed to handle a steady diet of real 10mm. Kinda a fact.
Fine examples exist, and for those who don't shoot nuclear on a regular basis... I imagine a superior experience compared to a Glock.
Now, round for round, that's a different outcome.
neither would fail. But hey, if you wanna buy the ammo... ?Kinda feel like I'm being baited
Plastic gun rail = minute of chest @ 25 yards, but that's not what we're talking about, is it?
How about this: Bring 4 of the finest examples of 10mm 1911 platform you can find, and enough Sig Elite (180gr 1,250, not spicy, but it'll do) to last a weekend. I'll do the same, but only a lowly G20.
First one with a failure taps out
Not exactly so. Mine has been golden. Not any more recoil than the 45acp. I didn't want to spend much on a 10mm 1911 cause they had problems in the first gens of those.It just seems, not from experience, but rather unending useless reading, that while a perfect 45, the 1911 isn't terribly well suited to the 10.
There are fine examples of the platform, but for a steady diet of real 10mm...
Glock figured it out. Ugly, unergonomic, +bonus crappy trigger. It's perfect (durability)
I bought some BB ammo for my ten. It didn't fit into the SAMI spect chamber of my Lone Wolf barrel. When I contacted BB they attack LW!??????I dont think the 10mm is really so powerful a steel 1911 frame cant handle. Wear and tear, not much different than a 45acp. There is a lot more bearing surface than those tiny metal inserts Glocks use to guide their pistols, do those wear out?
the thing about 10mm kabooms that I have read are all ammo related from loading them too hot. That includes even commercial produced ammo... which the past (hopefully) trend in boutique ammo manufacturers was to produce the 'hottest' 10mm. Mass produce enough rounds at maximum pressure and your sure to go over sometime.
Buffalo Bore Ammunition Makes Bad Claims in 10mm Handguns
I have an old box of Buffalo Bore ammo that I have been hesitant to use for this reason.
I think that nowadays ammo producers have learned and are staying within SAMMI limits, as long as you stay in SAMMI limits case support is not an issue.
There are also some different alternatives for a non-1911 platform
Smith & Wesson 1006 (10mm semi-auto)
or
Smith & Wesson 610 (revolver)
EAA makes a 10mm as does Sig

All you had to do was build your ammo to Sami specs right?
Well the email back sounded like some biotch emailing me about the lone wolf chambers being too tight.
I,of course,sent LW an email telling them that BB didn't like their barrels.
I'll never buy BB ammo again,even though they are in my town.
Hope I don't have to have this talk with them before my gun show,lol
I've shot a couple of boxes of 21B/20, both through the stock barrel and the LW AF.
PRE was pushing max, but otherwise no issues.
