    Sidearms & Scatterguns 10mm 1911 thoughts & opinions

    So far, I’m really liking Dan Wesson’s quality; that’s a sweet pistol MarkCo. Is the recoil springs the dual type similar to the Colt’s 10mm’s? I also own a Colt, and have been very happy with their quality, so I may go with them and just customize it a little at a time with (non-MIM), ambi...

    Powdahound, I agree with you on the merits of the 9mm; my colt defender ,which is one of my favorite carries, is chambered in it. I don’t really want this to turn into a caliber debate though I believe they all have their place. The g17 is definitely on my short list.

    The colt 10mm’s are sweet. How has reliability been on yours? I assume there was a break in period? Any tweaks to the pistol?

    MarkCo, what’s the date and time of that episode?

    Mike_Honcho, while I agree that a 9mm will drop a target just as fast as a 10mm with a well placed shot, I feel that the 10mm allows for a greater Margin of error on the shooters part. One of the main things that drew me towards the cartridge wasn’t necessarily it’s stopping power but...

    It’ll be more of a bedside gun with a light with plans to do a lot of plinking and possibly a little hunting. dont get me wrong I like the 5” models And plan to get one, I just want a pistol that is I little better for long range plinking. A 10mm commander sounds interesting, but with my carry...

    I looked at a Dan Wesson long slide, but it had some type of proprietary recoil spring plug that you needed a special tool for; not a big fan of that, but I’m kind of hypocritical in that regard because I usually don’t mind using barrel bushing wrenches on tight fit 1911’s

    So I’ve decided to start looking for a 10mm 1911. I feel that would be the best do it all pistol for me. I’ve done some searching and it doesn’t look like there are many production models out there. I’m kind of leaning towards a 6” long slide over the standard government model. Any...

    Thanks guys. Yeah, 30mph would be on the higher end of the spectrum. I'd be planning my trip around the weather, so hopefully it won't come to that, but you know how weather forecasts are, and I wouldn't want my only form of shelter blowing away. Almost all of my gear will be transported in...

    I need one that will hold up to strong winds, rain, will fit two people + packs comfortably, light weight, and preferably packable. This is for a little kayak touring trip I'm trying to plan so I'd like to save as much space/ weight as possible. If you have a tent recommendation that doesn't...

    Rained out fishing {thank my wife for the pictures}

    MtnCreek, good job getting the youngsters outside; probably the best thing my father ever did for me was take me fishing; so many lessons to be learned: patience, circle of life, conservation, and so on.... Oh, and that bass is a HAWG!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rained out fishing {thank my wife for the pictures}

    Awesome pics! I had a shelf cloud like that ride my ass for 5 miles back to shore while I was in my kayak, luckily the wind was at my back. Still, I barley made it back. For whatever reason, clouds like that have always meant great fishing opportunities for me in the past, until it hits, then...
