How About A SIG Sauer 10mm?

[sqlbullet]

We have had this argument before.   You might could argue 10mm impulse.  Pressure is functionally the same between 40 and 10 (35,000 and 37,500 respectively).  And both come from the same barrel blanks.  Schueman, kart, storm lake, etc all start with the same blank for all .400 barrels.

Plus, we aren't talking about amping up a 40 that is already just an amped up 9mm.  We are starting with a 1911 platform, which is very capable of handling 10mm auto impulse.  You have a couple yourself as I recall.

You could argue that the slide of the Delta Elite and other 10mm guns has more mass.  That is true of the Glock I believe, but the Delta Elite comes in the same as a run of the mill 1911 5" at 2.44 lbs average.  And, even if the 10mm slides were heavier, the specs for the slides for 1911's with a 10mm compatible breech face are common.

The only reason NOT to ream the barrel of a .40 1911 is if you want to shoot both 40 and 10mm.  If you don't do .40, ream that barrel.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the X-5 may have been a better choice

I was part of Bruce's first run at this back in 2007. I was in no rush but it took 2 years to get the gun and he had many issues; however, Bruce made good on his promise and even though my gun had issues, after sending it back to him it was flawless.

It's a fun gun to shoot and since he's fixed it, I've had no issues with it.

I've almost never carry this gun since my two main carry guns are a G20 and a Wilson Supergrade .45 ACP.

All in all, if you have the money, Bruce's people in Oregon do make a great Sig 10mm.
