Picked up my SR1911 10mm Today

[Wyocaddis]

Nice and tight, Good thing I did an initial tear down, was very dry as shipped. Trigger out of box breaks at 4.14 average (10 pulls on Lyman digital gauge) with just a hint of creep. In keeping with 1911's it should get a bit better during break-in. Oiled it in all the proper 1911 areas. It is now in the Bianchi 111 Cyclone thumb snap I had picked up, holster break-in. Happy so far 
Anyone know who's making the Ruger magazines?
I have read here that others are having luck with Metalform, any advise on Kimber mags? any of them tapped already, and if not are all bump pads 4x40 or will I need specific bump pads.

Thanks for the feed back

PS I have 2400, AA#9, longshot, Bluedot and Power pistol on hand WLP primers, Starline brass, and generic HSM 180gr. cast bullets for break-in. Was thinking of 10.4gr. Bluedot as a break-in load sound ok?
My goal after break-in is to get some MBW 200gr. MP-WFN as my general carry in woods load any suggestions?

10.4gr  BD with 180gr XTP or HAP is an awesome combination for an incredibly accurate load

The SR1911 is a lot of Pistol for the Dollar
Great choice !

A month or so back I got a SR1911 Night Watchman Commander 45 ACP. I love it so much I am thinking about a Night Watchman in 10mm. I like using longshot for my 10mm rounds. I may have to give the Bluedot a try. Ive never used cast before so I cant really comment on that. When I had my Rock Island 10 I used the metalform mags. They were tapped for the pads.

I haven't had an issue using Accurate Powders
Plus they flow very well in most Powder Throws
Although, I've heard that they may be too fine for the Lee Auto Disk Units
12.8gr of #9 works quite well with 180gr Bullets

Kimber 10mm mags are drilled and tapped. They're most likely either Metalform or Checkmate mags. The ones I have run perfectly in my DE and Kimber 10mms. They seem to be pretty high quality. I actually like them a little better than the Wilson Combat 10mm mags. The Kimber mag bodies are thicker metal.

If you have any WC 47D mags in .45acp, see if they'll run in your gun. They work just fine in my Kimber, not so much in the Delta Elite.

Congrats on your new gun!

Thanks for the replies, going to try to get out tomorrow for a bit and run some magtech 180's through it I have onn hand. Have a winter storm watch out starting tomorrow night 8-10" snow forecast been busy getting outside stuff finished up. Hopefully sneak out before it gets here. The Kimber mags are available locally so will try a couple out. They run well in my 45, and everything else would have to be ordered in. If I get out tomorrow will follow up with an initial range report

Thanks again

Amen... #9 is good powder. 12.9g of AA#9 w/WLPS to kick em in the butt works well out of my XDM too. It's a pretty "brisk" load ( haven't chrono'd it yet though)...

13.5gr aa#9 yields 1 1/2 inch groups for me at 20 yards. what's weird is it's damn near the same from my sig sauer emperor scorpion and my xdm 5.25. chrono'd at around 1250-ish fps and i'm using starline brass, cci300 primers, 180gr armscor or Winchester truncated flat point slugs. COL 1.255-1.260 "whatever my rcbs decides to seat my bullet depth to that particular round". 13.0gr was fairly accurate as well and when I bumped it up to 14.0gr they started spreading out pretty bad.
