My go-to store shows it in the mid 3's so let's hope the MSRP is down where the other TH pistols are and maybe the 10 will be even cheaper.

Any day now Taurus is going to release their TH10 10MM for those who've been patiently waiting like myself. 4.25" barrel, 15 round, hammer fired DA/SA with de-cocker and ambi safety. I've owned a TH40 and TH9 for a while now and haven't had a single malfunction with either through many hundreds of rounds. Both are extremely accurate and fit the hand like they are molded to it. I was interested in the XDM 10mm when it was first released but was disappointed in the brick like feel of the grip once I held one. Also thought the M&P 10mm would do it for me but the reports of spotty reliability turned me off so I never felt like I would be happy with one. So, I've got my trusty credit card ready and won't hesitate to order the Taurus TH10 as soon as they hit the distributors. Several online stores now show them as out of stock which means they're on the way.

This is where that "boating accident" would come in handy.

I agree with Shadow, start casting and never look back. I make it a point to collect more lead than I shoot every time I go to the range. My wife and I usually collect/sift 20-25 pounds of bullets from the backstops which melt down to about 16-18 pounds of clean usable lead. Other than some idiot labor, free bullets can't be beat.

Wow, thanks for the link! A 38 Super barrel for $40 sounds like fun.

Pardon my ignorance but what mags would be needed to run 38 Super if the original host is a 10mm?

Any 38 Super magazines for the 1911 will work. I prefer Mec-Gar and have yet to find one that's unreliable.

Another FYI for anyone wanting to know about barrel bushings. CDNN has the standard Remington 1911 bushing for $4.99 and those fit the Sig barrels like they were made for them. I didn't have to do anything to the one for the 38 Super as it's O.D. was .0005" larger than the barrel. Haven't measured the one I got for the 40 yet but it fits about the same from what I can tell. Also a standard #3 .278" barrel link is what the Sig barrels are machined for.

A little FYI for you guys for my first post. The 10mm SR1911 with bull barrel is also fully machined for standard 1911 barrels, bushings recoil springs and plugs. I fit a Sig 38 Super barrel in mine since I'm a fan of that cartridge, and it's now my most accurate 1911.
The only thing I did other than a bit of lug filing was to weld/machine each side of the hood as it's narrower than the hood of the bull barrel. Lockup and fit is excellent.
The barrel can be used with the narrow hood without issue, but I wanted the best accuracy. I also bought the Sig 40S&W barrel but haven't fit it yet.

As for the stock Ruger barrels cracking, I've discussed this with a few Smith friends. The consensus is that the bull barrel's mass, along with the fact that it's cast, make a weak combination. Though I've only run 500-800 rounds through mine, most were under full power and most likely why the barrel hasn't cracked. In the unlikely event the barrel does crack, I'll probably just fit a standard 10mm barrel in it's place.

Here's the link to the CDNN barrels, both 38Sup and .40S&W. As inexpensive as these are there's no reason not to make the SR more versatile.
