My next 10mm pistol

[Moose242]

It is the option with by far the most case support.

And the most badass factor.

And the most badass factor.

You could probably just build one on a 629 frame, if you were that determined. They're also really easy to come by in the single action world. There was a convertible model made in .38-40/10mm, and the .38-40 cylinder is pointless to install.

EDIT: Hamilton Bowen will make you a 610 out of a 627. There you go.

That's half the price of most quality 10mms. G20's are strong. I had a G20 with a 7" barrel but couldn't get it to shoot for shit with a kkm barrel.

Makes me wonder if the barrel was the issue. How was it with the factory barrel?
Did you try any other barrels of just the kkm?

I need to go shoot the S&W 1076 I've had sitting in my safe for two years now.

Depends on the ammo he was using. High pressure 10mm ammo is know to not be very accurate

Right, which would be an ammo issue and not a gun/barrel issue...

That's probably more a twist rate & projectile weight mismatch.

Factory barrel shot great.

I tried everything. Everything.

Did you try hitting it?

It hit other things, if that counts.

Lol you read too much, half of what you seem concerned with is a non issue. But get what you want to, it's your money.

Reading is how I learn new things and it's also why my job pays me pretty well which is how I afford new toys.... so I'll be damned.

Everyone should get what they want!

I already have a G20. I will probably get a G29 later an RIA and still get another Wesson or STI in 10mm. Yes, eventually I will get them all. And if I get a Colt DE, I want blue with real ivory grips. I would shoot it less than the others and on safer loads too.

You have to be able to decipher what is good info and what isn't. A whole lot of stuff you read is from people who have no idea what they're talking about. The bulging brass nonsense is caused by non spec cases. I know this from extensive personal experience, not random people on the internet. Since somehow your salary got into this why are you buying an RIA pistol? That's not something someone with a great salary would buy, there are a whole lot better pistols than RIA. Just trying to clarify and guide you into understanding a few things you asked about.

[YALE]

Only the blued DE's are out of production. All the guns since the 2008 reintroduction are stainless.

And a little cheaper, but not where it matters.
