Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself and say I look forward to using this resource as I add a 10mm to my stable. The gun is expected in 8 to 10 months and will be my long-range target gun. I have been a member at 1911forum for a few years and an a long-time shooter. I have a lot of reloading questions as I prepare and will post them in the appropriate forum.
8 to 10 months?
You getting a custom made?
Guncrafter No Name longslide.

AHHH ... well GI should make you a fantastic blaster. Anxious to see what you come up with, ESPECIALLY in longslide form. I did drool a little when I read that out loud but it cleaned right up as there were some napkins right beside my laptop.
Get another napkin ...
Ambi safety. Wilson Combat adjustable rear sight.
Nickel-Boron finish.
Black GI alumagrips.
Pics to follow ... just not soon enough! Ordered in June, quoted 10-12 months (estimate).

Well, I do have a longslide 10mm, but it's a Fusion Firearms.

I am a straight SUCKER for 10mm longslides. There is no better option.
Sweet gat.
I looked at Fusion, but like my other GI too much to not want another.

What the heck finish is on that Fusion? Mine is the black oxide, it is matte, not glossy.

I opted for the ION-BOND, but I wanted the slide slightly polished while leaving the frame matte. I wanted a slight two-toned look. I love it!
Ya'll both got some pursy longslides!
I'll post some shots of mine ... eventually.
Its no where near as nice as a Fusion or a Guncrafter, but I love it all the same:

My Para Elite LS Hunter
;D this is an "old" pic, Ive since refinished the grips ( they look much better now, they were way to heavily clear coated) and put in a Harrison ignition set.
Hey, I like that Para, too! I love ALL 1911 longslides, honestly. Something about em....

Don't dis' that gun! You have a fine firearm. I'm sure it shoots as strait as any of the others ... and it's your very own!

Well there's nice, and there is is it good enough? As long as it feels comfortable in your hand and shoots well. I mean I have trhe expensive Fusion Firearms longslide hunter 10mm. I also have the $600 RIA TAC II 10mm, and I enjoy it, too. Still in love with my original 10mm, the Dan Wesson Razorback.
Best shooting pistol ive ever had ;D I just feel a bit silly comparing it to true customs is all :)) thanks for the kind words!

Did I hear "10mm Longslide" ?

No it's not mine....wish I had one though
No ... that'd be looooooooooooongslide!
LOVVVVVE that JAVELINA!!!
Id love to find a Javelina one day, so cool! 8)
Nearly six months into my wait! Hoping it arrives before spring. I have acquired tools and supplies to reload for it. I also have three boxes of Double-Tap, a box of Buffalo Bore, and a few other factory rounds. Going to reload my first 10mm rounds today.
What powder and weight bullets you gonna try first?

According to his 1911forum thread,
800 and 180gr bullets. Tracy
Yep. Gonna have 10 rounds of several charge weights ready when it gets here. I have some plated flat point and HAP bullets. I also plan to load up some AutoComp and some Longshot too..

So far I've only used Longshot and Penn 180 fp lead bullets. My "hot" load (which is warm, but not near max) is 8.8gr, and I'm down as low as 5.6....which still has a decent amount of recoil. Tracy
180-185 grain bullets are my favorite. Here is a target using Precision Bullets 185 grain moly coated and HP38 powder from my Dan Wesson 10mm.

Pics coming sooner than expected!
Just heard it's on the way to the dealer. Will be in hands withing says :D
COOL! Its always nice when stuff shows up sooner then expected ;D I hope its as nice as your expecting!
We need more 10mm owners so that different manufacturers may start to think there might be money to be made if they make them.

Should be in my hands in a few days.
Becoming an old thread.......any updates on the Guncrafter 10mm? Curious how it shoots and what load/loads you've worked up. Tracy
