I bought a Kimber 1911 10mm Stainless Target and took it to the range. After the first mag I was impressed. Not just the speed but the accuracy! I shoot 1911 45 ACP frequently but this 10mm pistol fits me. Got to work up some hand loads because I can see, for me, this pistol is capable at 50 yards. I rang steel at 50 with some Sig Sauer 180 grainers.
One happy camper!
Congrats on the new 10mm pistol!!! Sounds like you are addicted.
Welcome aboard! The 10mm is a great round and is lots of fun!
Welcome Rytr!
It's great finding a pistol that fits. Congrats!
It's definitely my favorite caliber : )
Second time I shot my 1911 in 10mm, I loaded full house loads. Fired a box of fifty, then switched to my 1911 in .45 aCP. The latter felt like shooting marshmallows after the 10.
For sure, huge difference
yes. the 45 is more of a push and the 10 is more like a kick. an observation on recoil comparison. On the flip side look up 45 super. the conversion is as simple as a barrel and spring swap. or not in some cases not even that.

above is the reason for barrel swap on glock
