10mm semi-auto handguns / G40 10mm barrels
September 03 2017 09:14:39 AM MDT
I really liked my standard length KKM for my G20 so well that I ordered a threaded version to host a Rugged Obsidian suppressor. KKM didn't list the required threading as a standard option so I called and spoke directly with a machinist who made one at no extra charge - point being I got great customer service. I really like the barrel's performance - hogs not so much.

I don't have any direct experience with Bar-sto or LW but have heard good things about those barrels as well.

Congrats! That's the 610 I want. I have a 629 Classic with the 5" full lug barrel and for me the balance/size/weight is perfect.

.....It is truly silly for S&W to watch the market for the 610 to reach ionospheric levels without S&W "seeing the 'pot-o'-gold' and not tapping into it's popularity.

How patently absurd!

Couldn't agree more. The clueless clowns at S&W need to wake up. They still make the 629, so how hard would it be to simply machine the cylinders and barrels for 10mm??

Earlier this year I asked the guys at the S&W booth at Dallas Safari Club if there was a chance they would produce another run of 610's. They both just kinda laughed at the notion, saying "that" market segment was too small. I really don't think they had a clue what the 610 used gun market was doing. Hopefully these two guys don't have any pull with what S&W does.

Impressive, sounds like a lotta fun too. Did you have the slide milled or using a dovetail mount?

Thank you, it was a great time! These things are flying off the shelves it seems. They had two of them when we got there. By the time we had finished  shooting, somebody else had bought the second gun.

Congrats to Dad and you. I plan to get one.....one day.

Did the gun shop tell you about the $200 Sig Store rebate currently running for any new P220 series? If not you can go to Sig's website for details & to download the rebate form.

Thanks for the review. I have yet to hold one, but am out at $1300 + tax.

I've seen some go for $1100 online. Do any of ya'll think that for those of us that can exercise a little patience (6-12 months) there will be some lightly used ones popping up in the sub $900 range?

10mm semi-auto handguns / Sig 1911 10mm
June 02 2015 01:25:57 PM MDT
Great news, but I think my next 10mm will be a P220 since I already have a .45 1911 Tacops. IMO Sig makes a great 1911 for the money. I also have a DW Heritage which is awesome but the Sig is right there. Should look kinda like this - I did replace the grips though....

Very nice! Don't know much about Axis but man that one looks big. Seems like I heard they are excellent eating too.

+1 on the Montecristo #2's and anything Padron, especially the Anniversario Series '26 or '64.

Great thread!

FWIW one just went up for sale on the S&W Forum classifieds.

Seems like I read a comment on Sig Talk where somebody was using their P220 .45acp 10 round extended mags with no issue. Not by design, but at least options may exist for more capacity.

"He led a life most people could never comprehend."

Indeed - a life lived to the fullest! My sympathies and good luck as you go forward. I always appreciate hearing stories of WWII vets - IMO our greatest generation.
