| Anyone here own one of the newer Hilton Yam 10-8 1911s in 9mm? I’m strongly considering ordering one, but it’s a chunk of change to drop! I’d want to use it as a carry gun mainly |
I have one. Gun has been outstanding. The RMR I picked up lost the ability to hold elevation adjustments after 5 rounds and I waited about a month to get it back. But now that it's back the gun is up and running. Very soft shooting gun and I don't think you'd regret carrying it. For some reason my brain just wants to put a .45 in my holster when it's shaped like a 1911.

I currently carry a 5” TRP in 45. I wanted to get the 10-8 in 9mm for ammo cost savings so I can shoot more and, a full size heavy 9mm 1911 is a blast to shoot! |

The square trigger guard doesnt even look weird with a wml too. |
