Longslide 1911 in 10mm.

Yeah, I know, just what we need. Another 10mm 1911. But, seeing Remington offer it is exciting to me as they run pretty mainstream in handguns. I take this as an acknowledgment that the 10mm is no longer seen as a passing fad.

Isn't this just a re badged Para hunter.

Almost certainly is. Still, Remington chose to keep it and not drop it.

Kevin Underwood really likes his Para piece. Too bad 90% of new offerings are 1911's.

Now all Remington has to do is make good 10mm ammo, not the watered down stuff that they sell now ${$default_sad_smiley}$

I just read about this last night. Any new 10MM is an exciting development to me.

I could get behind it, good to see remington continuing the lineage. It looks nice and Price is steep but couldnt blame anyone on getting one.

Nice looking piece.

But I can get a Witness Hunter for cheaper and have double the mag capacity.

I'm just happy that the 10mm is gaining main stream attention. More 10mm guns = more ammo demand, more demand = more ammo producer's, more ammo producers = lower price ammo due to competition and more ammo options. I hope this gun feeds better than other para 1911's .

I posted it, I love 1911's and I have a Para 10mm now.

But...

hard to beat this logic. And, I like my two Tanfoglio's too.

I wonder if the barrel is ramped?

Intercooler · August 12 2016 04:22:42 AM MDT

It's for sure ramped.

Are the Remington versions long slide hunter available now... ?

It is semi-official that this is a re-branded Para. The stock photos of the rear sight show it marked Para-Ord.

ALL my 10mm pistols are 1911's....I happen to LIKE that platform!
