Morning, I'm looking into another 1911 style 10mm. Ideally, I would like Sigs P220 Hunter Kryptek Typhon 10mm, but am struggling with the 13 to 15 price tag. I currently have the RIA Rock Ultra FS HC - 10mm, and think it's time for another 10. I am looking to spend $900 - $1,200, any ideas would be great
Thanks

I'd just spend a little bit more and get what you really want.

A P220 is not a 1911 style...but https://www.gunbroker.com/item/874567419

On the other hand, I would suggest a Ruger SR1911 in 10mm is also a solid option, and is under your budget by about $100.

I realize that, but if I didn't get the Sig, I would like something along the lines of my RIA
Thanks

The more I read about the P220, the more I like it 😀

BEEMER!

The more you shoot one the more you will like it also. 

That has been my experience.

I really like my Kimber TLE II in 10mm. Front grip strap checkering, night sights, very accurate, and it eats everything I feed it. The current one may come with a fiber optic front sight. Excellent trigger, too. The only thing that you'll need to add is an ambi safety.

Broke down and ordered the P220 Hunter 😀😀😀

How does your first RIA Rock Ultra FS HC - 10mm shoot?

Very nice for a $700.00 dollar weapon, I recently replaced the springs with Wolff springs and added a flat bottom firing pin stop / 25lb mainspring, and hope to get out today. Also, it is  surprisingly reliable and accurate
Thanks

Kind of a rough time to be looking for any bargains.  Everything is running at a pretty hot premium these days.  So if you can, might be wise to wait it out a little bit. 

IF things ever return to normal again......  I'd suggest giving a Dan Wesson Razorback some consideration.   I know, I gush on them a little too much but that's just how impressive they are. 
   
A year ago they could be found new for around $1,200 and gently used examples found for around  $1k.  Some reported seeing used models well below that level, although I looked a lot and never did.

Absolutely, a friend wanted to order a Sig P220 Hunter like I am picking up Friday. My shop told him it could be 2-6 months before they could get one in. Between high prices and availability, it's for sure a tough time

Interesting. Here in Montana it's just business as usual...the display cases are full of guns with the same pricing, near as I can tell. One gun store told me that I'd be lucky to get a SRO in six months, and then I drove a mile down the road and bought one off the shelf at a sporting goods store at a very good price. Seems like maybe some shops are over-hyping the shortages to justify higher prices.

There was a run on 9mm and 5.56 ammo a few months ago, but that's just the usual stupid hoarding behavior, right up there with hoarding toilet paper. I don't shoot the former and have plenty of the later, so I just laughed, remembering all the "experts" who advised sticking with NATO calibers because there'd always be plenty of ammo to feed them.

yea, seems like certain Sig models are the only thing short in our area, but when looking online, many places are out of the P220 Hunter for some reason, as well as most places charging $1,300 - $1,600, with the $1,300 something being about the best I've seen
