10mm semi-auto handguns / Re: GIRSAN HUNTER FDE ON THE WAY
November 10 2022 05:28:53 PM MST
I own a Girsan hunter.  It is a great gun for the price.  (Better than people believe!) I changed the grips and made it a little more personal.  You will love it.

Nice. For me it would make a nice woods/ hunting gun.
That's exactly what it is. Just figured I'd dress it up.

10mm semi-auto handguns / Girsan 1911S Hunter (Gucci look)
September 16 2022 01:20:00 PM MDT
I bought one of the Girsan 1911 hunter models. It shoots very well and I have fed it mostly handloads. I perused the interweb and put some minor hardware pieces onto it.  I like it better whether it shoots better or not. I put a hi viz front sight on it but don't really care for it.  I'm waiting on some glow paint in the mail to put the original sight back on. Hopefully,  this and my Glock 40 will both get to be used for their intended purposes in a couple weeks.

I know this thread is a little old but I bought one of the Girsan 6" hunters. It shoots great. It needs a better front sight but other than that,  I can't find a flaw. It was $669 at my lgs. Fit and finish is top notch on mine.

Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Primer Substitution With HS-7
March 15 2022 04:26:32 PM MDT
Not to hijack your thread but I am starting to see all types of primers returning to shelves at different stores here in Eastern NC. The great primer depression may be coming to an end.

I'm new here and finally logged in to introduce myself.  I am a retired Marine living in eastern NC who enjoys the outdoors (hunting, fishing, archery and shooting). I bought a Glock 40 and want to use it for hunting.  I have it topped off with a vortex venom. I killed 3 deer last year with a .357 so a 10mm should do the job also. I also reload so experimenting with different loads is fun for me.  I have gleaned a lot of knowledge from the forum as this is my first Glock.  Now I want one for concealed carry.  Possibly a G29. We'll see!
