I have more but this was a simple enough answer.
So Iāve been pondering this question and the GAS (Gun Acquisition Syndrome) it unleashed. This monthās 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 grins⦠Whatās a good 1911 10mm, if any, in the $1k or less range?
The 10mm and 1911 go together like peanut butter and jelly. I prefer it pver 9mm or .45 acp ,only downside is availability.
@jf89you mean ammo is harder to find?
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 canāt just to to the local gun shop and lay hands on it. Heading to Az in July for a few days. Iāll get me a list and have a gun fondle fest.
@mquinn55, I can recommend the Rock Island thereās two models you might be interested in.
I donāt know how you feel about the Kriss Vector in 10 millimeter but that might be an option.
I didnt know the delta elite had a rail option.
A 10mm Ruger gp100 would be uber cool too.
^ This. I would love one.
@Caw, it most certainly does! you wonāt find one for a thousand or under though, The Delta Elite.
mquinn55:
I donāt 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 Rugerās 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 (mquinn55ās, or anyoneās) wallet will help with about whatever.
Like good magsā¦going cheap with 1911 mags is a bad idea
$1000? Ammunition. IMHO we have enough firearms.
NEVER(20 character bullshit)
$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¦
Or the EOtech vudu 1-6
I havenāt heard a good thing about it.
