Title: Would you want a 10mm gun from Ruger?
Post by: The_Shadow on May 23 2014 08:02:58 AM MDT
Hey, below is a link to write to the CEO of Ruger and tell them what you are interested in seeing.
It your opportunity to convey a message or request for a 10mm gun or what have you... ;D

Thanks for the link. I sent him 10 emails.

Intercooler started this in another section here and on a few other forums and also FB, where I think I picked up on it.
Yes I sent several prompts for some 10mm offerings in semi auto carbines and pistol to include the Bren Ten.

Thx for the link..
I mentioned how great it would be to buy a "match champion" in the 10mm platform

   It's funny when you visit the Ruger board. The feel I get is in the revolver line they like the .357 and .44 rimmed cartridges for that. I can't really argue there...
   They don't view the 10mm as a cult following and refer to the .40 as the popular piece. I never got from them what the  .380-.45ACP versions can do better or that the 10mm lacks. In Alaska it's sought after for woods carry, but Ruger also offers an Alaskan  :(
    I guess Razor Dobbs is the best momentum builder we have currently unless some sort of competition sport develops using 10mm only.

  Iowegan is a published revolver guy and props for that! I don't agree with him the 10mm is dying though  ;D

One of these in 10mm would be interesting:

That could be an easy conversion to 10mm if the slide/bolt travel is long enough and the magazine is long enough inside for the 1.260" 10mm cartridges.

Marlin's little Camp Carbine (9mm and 45ACP) is another neat consideration, I had wrote Marlin about that one as well but it fell on deaf ears and blind eyes!  :o

I did a Choate stock conversion on a friends Marlin Camp Carbine in 45ACP, also had to put a new buffer, old buffer deteriorated, and shooting it in that condition caused the wooded stock to crack.  I also repaired the cracked stock

You bet
A 10mm SR1911, a GP and/or Red Hawk would work
And a Dearfield, but with a straight Double Stack Mag, not the Rotory

I like the folding stock version. Makes for a nice truck / travel gun.

I am a long time Ruger fan and would love to have a 1911 from Ruger in 10mm and have considered converting my GP100 to 10mm.
