Here is another 10mm (one of several). This is a Jim Garthwaite creation. Jim salvaged a beat up old Delta Elite, added a Bar-Sto barrel, snugged it up and fitted some of his perfect sights-a reworked Heinie with a the gold bead front on a serrated ramp. Shoots great with most loads. Great trigger. Like all of Garthwaite's guns, great metalwork and bluing. Notice the subtle high cut? And the front strap serrations? Rubber grips on a 3K pistol? I know I know...that's an affectation of mine. The only negative is that they hold moisture. Otherwise they are hard to beat for a knock around carry pistol.
10mm can be a finicky cartridge-the long OAL, the extreme Power factor and pressure and smallish rim all add up to trouble in a 1911 platform if things aren't just right. GO to an experienced 10mm pistolsmith with your 10mm project and you will be much happier in the long run.
