I have been looking to add 10mm to my collection. I like the look and feel of the 1911 platform. I know there are several manufacturers who have a 10 mm offering but I am not educated on the cartridge. I see some discussions of chambers bein fully supported and able to handle the hottest 10 mm loads.

I don't have plans to use it for hunting or carrying as I have those bases well covered. Having said that I want to preserve the option of sing it for hunting because who knows. Not really concerned with capacity etc. options I have looked at include

Colt Delta Elite
S&W 1006
Dan Wesson
Others???

RIA has entered the 10mm game and I've heard nothing but good things once you find the right spring...

Sig also just started making the 220 in 10mm, might be worth looking into. I love my G20 but I would also love a 1006.

If your going to get a 610 you might as well just get a 41mag wheel gun.

41 Mag is harder to find both ammo and cheap bullets for reloading. With a 610 bullets and ammo are available in a wide variety and easy to get and for just plinking I can use 40S&W. If I suddenly feel the need to abuse my wrists I can have the chambers lengthened and load 10mm Magnum and get 41 mag performance and not give up my 10mm Auto or 40 S&W.

G20SF or G40MOS. Capacity even though you don't "need" it...accurate, and will handle the hot stuff...stuff that a Colt Delta Elite will darn near KB on...

I've owned a Colt DE for a long time, one of the earlier 'enhanced' version, as much as I like it, if I were to do it over again, I'd take a real serious look at the new P220 in 10mm.

Glock 20.

It'll handle any ammo you throw at it in stock configuration.

And if you don't get the Gen4 get the Gen3SF.

I had a Kimber tle/rl in 10mm for a short while. Never could get it running right using factory or handloaded ammo along with factory and Wilson 47x mags. Sent it back and it still didn't run right when It came back. My dealer took it back and got me set up with a G20 gen 4. Couldn't be happier

I ended up selling my Glock 20 because while it was accurate, the grip was just too huge to comfortably handle. Used the money plus a bit to buy a nice Delta Elite.

Yep. I have pretty small hands for a guy, and my Gen 4 does not feel like a dinosaur at all to me.

My Gen3 SF cracked more than once and spent more times at the factory then in my hands. My gen4 however, has been good to go so far.

YMMV.

I like the look and feel of my RIA, the texturing on the grip feels like it might be a tad too aggressive and rough on the hand under recoil but 1911 grips are easy to find in a variety of styles if that turns out to be the case

haven't shot it yet though

Finally got around to shooting it. Grips felt fine while shooting it. Mostly just shot at steel plates so I don't know how tight it was grouping but I was hitting the plates with ease

I personally went with a Glock 20 G4 for backpacking and woods carry. My decision was based on durability, capacity, and the ability to handle hot loads. The biggest drawback is the grip circumference. It works for me, but it's definitely not a one size fits all grip.

I almost bought a 1006 based on their reputation for durability and recoil reducing heft. I did find one locally. I couldn't get over how much the price has gone up in the past 5 years. This coupled with the lack of factory support and low capacity steered me to the Glock.

I handled the Gen 4 G20, the new SIG 220, the EAA Witness Hunter, the S&W 1076, and the Delta Elite. The Delta is the only one on which I can get a solid, correct grip, with the Smith a close, acceptable second. I bought both.
The SIG is just a little too big, the EAA a bit bigger, and the G20 too big to consider at all.

If you have small hands, short fingers, etc., make sure you spend some time handling the candidates and imagining 10mm recoil levels.
