I am jealous, I have a Dan Wesson Stainless Valor .45 ACP. My favorite semi-auto handgun caliber is 10mm. I have yet to find a Dan Wesson 10mm.

My Colt Delta Elite, Glock G20 SF, and Kimber Stainless Target II in 10mm.

Snakedriver has a few different 10mm pistols, and he has a reloading setup for it as well. It costs about the same for him to shoot the 10mm as the 45 ACP. This pistol in 10mm should be a really fine shooter with excellent accuracy and stopping power. Once the bugs get worked out in this pistol, he'll be good to go. The big advantage he'll have is 10mm power in a standard 1911 sized package, so there won't be additional holsters needed for him to carry it.
I have one 10mm pistol and it's terribly accurate, and follow up shots are within reason. I don't see much disadvantage to carrying the 10mm as long as ammo is available, even though it's more costly with factory ammo. Reloading makes up the real differences of 10mm over any other cartridge.

Thanks for the explanation Greg - However I am no stranger to the 10mm. But no longer reload and I believe to extract the performance from the 10mm, reloading is the way to go. I know the original 10 mm for the FBI was loaded hotter and along with size of the pistol, we got the S&W 40 caliber.
These are my 10mms:

I got rid of the auto as I didn't shoot it much and if I needed power my model 29s will provide it. The 610 revolver can also shoot 40 S&W, so I have hung onto it.

Regards, Hank

Damn, Snakedriver...great pistol, great shootin'. Gotta add that pistol to the wish list. Love 10s and i have been pondering the idea of getting into reloading just for 10 mm, but i will eventually do other calibers as well.
My only 10s are the 610-2 and the G20 SF, but as I type, a 1006 is being shipped my way, and the FFL is looking up a newfangled long slide G40. Those will be hard to find for some time.

I like the looks of the Razorback. Being new to 1911 land, is the Razorback significantly different from a standard 1911? I see the sights are different and the grip safety has a hunchback. Anything else?

Kevin,

10mm is a problem for the 1911 platform unless it is specifically set up for that cartridge. Stronger springs, a supported chamber and more robust dimensions all make a 1911 work with 10mm. The Razorback is pretty much a standard setup for 1911s. This gun has Trijicon HD night sights as the only non-factory add on. The "hump"is an extended grip safety that ensures the safety is defeated when you grip the pistol. Pretty much the norm these days.

Good luck on your search for a 1911!

While building revolvers never scared me, I do not even know how to take down a 1911 without launching the recoil spring plug across the house. Which did not amuse Herself!

I'd love to have a 10mm (again) and especially if it was a S&W 610 or the Dan Wesson, or ............. the S&W semi-auto ......................... or any 10mm!

I was one of the rabble rousers that bugged Bob Serva, who then owned DW, into building the Razorback.
I placed the first order for one with a request for the serial number to be my badge number.

I liked Razorback enough that I talked to Bob and requested a CCO version. He said "That sounds like fun, let's do it."
Bob subsequently sold DW and created Fusion Arms mentioned in an above post.

I have put a lot of rounds down range, and the CCO is on my hip right now.
They ain't blowed up yet.
