If i had $1k laying around

#29

I have more but this was a simple enough answer.

So Iā€™ve been pondering this question and the GAS (Gun Acquisition Syndrome) it unleashed. This monthā€™s G&A cover features a beautiful Springfield TRP 1911 in 10mm. Which is a caliber, based on all the chat here, I need to explore. Nice article until I hit the MSRP of $1800.

So just for shits and grinsā€¦ Whatā€™s a good 1911 10mm, if any, in the $1k or less range?

#32

The 10mm and 1911 go together like peanut butter and jelly. I prefer it pver 9mm or .45 acp ,only downside is availability.

#33

@jf89you mean ammo is harder to find?

#35

Thanks. So I just check the CA gun roster. Not a single Colt of any kind. I can now get off roster guns but I canā€™t just to to the local gun shop and lay hands on it. Heading to Az in July for a few days. Iā€™ll get me a list and have a gun fondle fest.

#36

@jf89 with or without the rail?

#38

@mquinn55, I can recommend the Rock Island thereā€™s two models you might be interested in.
I donā€™t know how you feel about the Kriss Vector in 10 millimeter but that might be an option.

#39

I didnt know the delta elite had a rail option.

#40

A 10mm Ruger gp100 would be uber cool too.

#41

^ This. I would love one.

#42

@jf89, it most certainly does! you wonā€™t find one for a thousand or under though, The Delta Elite.

#43

Iā€™ll leave this here.

I donā€™t know, but I have heard that the Ruger SR1911 in 10 mm is just as good as the Colt Delta Elite in 10 mm. The Ruger is a little heavier (5 ounces more). The Ruger costs around $200 less.

So, ask around. Get a comfy feel. But, for the 10 mm, more and more guns are being made in that caliber lately. Check Rugerā€™s website for more details:

Good luck!

jf89:

Agreed. And the extra weight of the Ruger will help with recoil.

Plus, the extra weight left in your (mquinn55ā€™s, or anyoneā€™s) wallet will help with about whatever.

Like good magsā€¦going cheap with 1911 mags is a bad idea

#48

$1000? Ammunition. IMHO we have enough firearms.

#49

NEVER(20 character bullshit)

#50

$1,000 can always go to a quality optic for a firearm you already have. Eotech EXPS 2-2 with the G33x magnifier goes for about a grandā€¦

#51

Or the EOtech vudu 1-6

#52

I havenā€™t heard a good thing about it.
