I hate buying a firearm right around this time. Part of it is the Holidays and the other part is Shot Show is right around the corner... might be something even better then!

Heaven forbid, you might have to buy two 10mm pistols :)

   I can't find two at the moment though  ???

The Shadow 2 hasn't made it to the States yet and Grand Power hasn't released the Centimeter yet. Those are the two that might qualify  :o

Somewhere I saw a report that said the Centimeter was labeled for a customer, it was a P40 other than that. I think they should go with it.

I just picked up my new Remington R 1 Hunter in 10mm. I like it, it offers good balance and a great sight picture. I don't like the VZ grips supplied with the gun however. I'm looking for something a little less aggressive on your hands. I'm thinking about a Bianchi X 15 shoulder holster to carry it in. I can't wait to get it out to the range and try it out. I've never tried whitetail hunting with a handgun, it looks like fun. I'll let you know how this combo works out for me.

Nice Rob,
   Let me know what grips you choose. I agree they are a bit to aggressive. I took mine to the range this morning with limited time, I put 100 rounds of sig 180gr FMJ's through it, no issues. Very nice factory trigger on mine. Seemed to be right on targert at 25yds. So far I'm pleased with my R1 Hunter. Look forward to your range report.

I though I'd report back about my first time at the range with my new Remington 10mm Hunter. I replaced the VZ grips and put on a set of Pearce palm swell grips which look good and feel more comfortable in my hand. Shooting from a pistol rest my groups measured 1 to 2 inchs at 25 yards. Shooting free hand I was grouping around 3 1/2" using Hornady 165 gr loads. The pistol shoots good, weight and balance are excellent with a great sight picture.

Thanks for the range report Rob. I will take a look at those Pearce palm swell grips. Glad your happy with your hunter.

Excellent, thank you for the range report. Looks like I have another to add to the 2017 list.
