Was it to be a standard capacity 1911?

Okay... 4:48 into the video another 1911. Good for 10mm, just not me.

Too late for Springfield.

For me it is, as I don't buy railed 1911s.

I kinda wanna design a new 10mm from the ground up, then release the design to the world just so there is another type of 10mm that is totally overdone. We have the 1911 market for sure, but anything else...

Not at all. Do I want a Springfield 1911 10mm? No, but if the Springer fanboys start shooting a 10 the popularity will grow. The more the popularity grows the more other platforms will be looked at for adaptation. Let's be honest, there are very few ground breaking designs left for firearms. What we can hope for is that the 10mm will see a larger appreciation that will, hopefully, lead to new innovations for the caliber. For that reason alone I want to see as many companies as possible release a platform in 10mm. Even platforms that are already flooded.

Springfield collectors may want it, but it wont be enough. They have a nice bobtail one in the custom shop. They should have used something like that to get my coin.

I just saw a post on another forum that SIG has a P227SSE on display. Could there be a 227 10mm in the future?

Turns out this is just alloy frame with a finish to make it look like stainless.

Partially true, apparently there are two, the alloy one you mention and a real all stainless model. Sigforum covers it pretty well.

Grand Power is rolling out their striker fired version.

Nice, but will it have "teething problems" as did their 9mm?

Which problems did the 9mm have?

So uh...I saw the post by smith and wesson saying something about the second generation of the M&P platform. Then nothing. Did they actually show anything new for shot show. Theories were that smith and wesson was going to show something similar to the p320 in terms of modularity so that they could go for the modular handgun contract.

I can't find any information other than the ported shield when it comes to M&P and shot show 2016.

In my opinion shot show 2016 was a bust. Everything I was hoping would be shown was not. Even items that were already slated for release mid last year didn't get mentioned.

I am wondering if the barrel is ramped and supported.
