OFFICIAL: 10mm semi auto Picture Thread

[s0nspark]

I carry in a Crossbreed supertuck.  Same holster for G20/21/29/30.

I tried that but behind the hip carry just doesn't work well for me. My arms are fairly long and getting twisted around to draw feels like I have to fold my arm up accordion-style and dislocate my shoulder LOL

Appendix carry provides much better results for me. :-)

To each is own.

Appendix carry places the muzzle in uncomfortable proximity to other "valuables" if you get my drift.  While I experience no physical discomfort, I am uncomfortable in the extreme.

[s0nspark]

I understand perfectly... :-)

Appendix requires diligence each and every time when drawing or holstering... and a good quality purpose-designed holster is a must! It is not for everybody - it just happens to be the only method of carry I've been able to make work for me. If concealment wasn't a necessity I'd probably carry slightly forward of 3 o'clock in an OWB holster. Way before my time but I miss them cowboy days :-)

Thanks, got busy and never got back. Have also sold the Omega and ordered another custom Dan Wesson from Keith and delivery got back benched at my request. Told him I was in no hurry and take care of plant and other customers first, I hope to get the new BTRZ by 25 of this month which is my 68th birthday. Here is the BTRZ 10MM with new grips by Ryan Payne aka Sarge.

My new Kimber 10mm Custom TLE/RL, the black mamba.

That Kimber looks nicely covert.  The really nice thing about the Kimbers is the best-of-the-best chamber support.  They can handle some good hot 10mm loads without breaking a sweat.

Pics like that make it hard to postpone a Kimber purchase... Very nice!!

Retired Squid, you old salty dog you got a nice Kimber there, you should add a little extra light on that thing and re shoot the picture for better detail!

I had to use my c-phone because battery was dead in my Nikon, will try to get a better one tomorrow or Monday. Just found the charger today, so it's on charger. My two boys can't leave my things alone, what's mine is theirs they seem to think.

Took a little getting used to as I've been busting caps with a Colt 38 Super LWC that's one of my carry guns, that little Cmdr. is a real sweet shooter. A lot of power and low recoil with the 38 Super round, it's can be loaded past the 357 Sig if using the Starline Super Comp rimless cases. 38 Super and 10mm Auto are my favorite auto pistol rounds.

And here I am with every caliber pistol mentioned EXCEPT a .38 Super

Just brought home a new Kimber Target II Stainless in 10.
Diane SwineStein will be so pleased ....  think I'll send her a card

[REDLINE]

Welcome xkejag!  I don't even want to get started on SwineStein.  I've had such a nice day it would be a shame to ruin it on such a worthless individual to mankind.

If it works for you, fill us in on a range report once you get a chance to launch some rounds downrange with that new Kimber!  I like the look and adjustable sights of the Target II version best myself.  I don't own one, but someday it could happen.

Some pics would be nice too, especially a couple showcasing the barrels chamber support.  On a side note, do brand new Kimbers come with 2 magazines from the factory?

I wouldn't. She would lie and call it a terrorist threat letter.

[xkejag]

I'll take a few shots and post in a day or so.

As for magazines I only got one 10rnd so i'll be looking to add.

Any thoughts on the MeproLight opticals that Kimber offers?

FWIW I'm also expecting delivery of a Lee Loadmaster with accessories for the Kimber, wife's Glock 19 and  Python (old duty weapon being restored as I hadn't had it out of attic storage for 25 years).

I have never reloaded before but it seems now is the time to learn.

Agree.  There are a few of us here that have all begun handloading in the last year or so.
