Hi, I'm new to the forum but a long time 10mm fan. I started with a SW 1006 back in the 80's and have 610, 5 or 6 Delta's, two Colt Ten/Forty's, a Witness and a Glock mod 20 with an extra 6" barrel and a Bar-Sto 9X25 barrel. I have to admit I have not been shooting the 10's for several years.
My question for you guys if anyone is familiar with the Omega's. A friend of mine's Father-in-law passed away and he was disposing of his firearms collection which included a used 5" ported Omega in 10mm and a NIB 6" ported Omega in 10mm. I bought both of them at a resonable price. I took the used 5" to the range and fired about 50 rounds through it and was impressed with the accuracy and overall "shootability" of the pistol. I remember when they were being sold new, but I really had never looked at them until now.
How many of you guys own them and what is your overall impression of these guns?
I don't own one but they are really the best ever in 1911 10mm's. They are built like tanks. The only concern is locating parts if one breaks. I have heard you can order them from Peter Stahls still, but I have also heard that guys have issues getting parts.
None the less, I would shoot them and enjoy them.
You are certainly right about the built like a tank part. The link-less design is much like a Glock or Sig which will help with the pressures and slide velocities generated by the 10mm round. The external extractors are an improvement in my opinion also. I am no kid anymore and the Peters-Stahl sights remind me of Bo-mars and help my old eyes.
