Hi all I am looking for a Rock Island 2011 tactical (full rail) in 10mm, all I see are the non rail ones anyone know where to find the rail one at? I want one to go with my Rock island 45acp. I appreciate any help. Thanks Behind the at. Sorry, couldn't resist. I heard that phrase my entire childhood from my mother every time I ended a sentence with "at". Can't help with the rock islands, sorry Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I have no idea but there seems to be a lot of posts in GD about Rock Island pistols lately.

Unless you are an enthusiast, don't bother with 10mm...
Hey, it's a free BTT... |

There was 1 on Davidson's earlier today.
It is now paid for and enroute to my dealer. 
Beat you by a few hours it would appear... plenty of the non railed left. |

Most factory ammo is downloaded to .40 S&W power, so the potential is wasted. To get the power of a '10mm', you must either reload, or suck it up and buy expensive boutique ammo. I'd consider anybody already doing that an enthusiast. For a regular guy, a 10mm is a bad choice. It sounds like you are already in the game though... |

Unless you are a re-loader and enthusiast or just have so much available cash flow you can waste I'd echo the don't bother with 10mm sentiment.I have a Witness 10 I never shoot.
10mm loads can vary widely be careful any gun you buy can handle the loading. I'd say get a Glock 20 then get the drop in 6 inch barrel. |

Yes sir I just bought my buddies dillon 550b so I can start reloading I cant wait.....I was thinking you were going to say something was bad about the 1911 platform in 10mm glad that was not the case

Anybody know what these cost? Seems like it would be a fun fire breather with some hot hand loads. I don't have any 10mm's yet and I think it would be fun to add one someday.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Initially the 1911 platform did not handle the higher loadings well IIRC. I guess this is part of the reason why many don't complain about the popular weak loadings. Mine is a 1006, so I'm good. This being said, it's more of a collectable than a pistol in the range rotation. |

This being said, it's more of a collectable than a pistol in the range rotation. No expert but the PSI difference fro 45acp to 10mm is big and too 10mm Norma or +P is massive. I have heard and read the stories that the initial FBI test guns were 1911s and had serious wear and tear issues. Then there are the handling issues that come with weak or female agents, hence 40 "short and weak". |

Good luck and hope you pick one up. |

Would Iit be a mistake to get one? |

Maybe I need to reconsider then and just keep my 1911's 45acp then, anyone shot the heavy 10mm out of the Rock? My 2011 tactical 45acp is awesome I was hoping the 10 would be just as rugged as the Glocks but of course be in the beloved 1911 package.

Probably less than 1/2 of what the slide and barrel weigh. |

These guys tried to blow up a Hi-Point, and it was disturbing what it actually took.
