Sr1911 10mm

[Lloyd Smale]

The one I can remember seemed to stem from not living the gun properly

Don't understand. what is living a gun?

This may be the result of 'auto correct' out thinking the typist.
My guess is he was trying to say, "...not loading the gun properly."

[Lloyd Smale]

ok that makes sense.

My fault, I didn't proofread like I normally do. It stemmed from not LUBING the gun properly. The slide locked up.

What is the price range for one of these?

[Biggin]

Darn you Ruger!!!@! They keep coming out with shiny new toys and my bank account can't keep up!!

I picked mine up for mid 7's can't remember the exact. but it was less than 8 after tax and transfer fee.

Blue Dot, 800-X, AA-7, and AA-9 are my go-to fuels for 10mm reloading--cast and jacketed.

BD... hmmm. Bought 2# of BD awhile back searching for a 357 cast load, but went with BE86 instead. Still got most of those 2 cans kicking around looking for a use. Going to have to give that a try.

I would really like one of those in a Commander length. On an alloy frame.

Or the one pictured would be ok too...

I've never run across an alloy framed Commander sized 1911. I've had a couple of builders tell me that it's a non-started and they won't do it. I have a Dan Wesson CBOB and it's a great pistol. Commander sized, bobbed and shoots like a laser.

The original Colt Commander was an alloy framed gun. Lots of others have built them as well including Ruger. Maybe you meant no 10mm alloy commanders, which I don't remember seeing either.

The Colt Commander Models with aluminum alloy frames are often called "Lightweight Commanders"; the steel-framed Commander variants are called "Combat Commanders". I have seen about 3 steel-framed Commanders to every alloy-framed example I've encountered. I rather like the Commander concept, and so do a lot of other makers--SIG-Sauer, Glock, and CZ use the pattern for their full-size service models, as has Browning with its High Power.

so you guys that bought one. How does it shoot and is it a 100percent reliable?

160 rounds of factory ammo only so far...100% reliable. FBI and full power loads in two outings. I stripped it down and removed factory lube and cleaned before first firing. No issues...none. Trying first reloads later this week. 180gr FMJ and 200gr WFNGC hardcast both over Blue Dot. We'll see how it goes. Fine, serious handgun, sweet price at $721 shipped + FFL.

I'd like one but I want the Rem R1 longslide more. That 6"barrel tips the scales for me!

Yep. Think I want a lightweight 10mm Commander, though it may never exist. Something in .38 Super would work too... Just dreaming.

Ruger makes a nice 1911....a friend has one just like this in .45 and all it needed was a trigger job to make it perfect.

I have the same gun in a Kimber..Stainless Target II. What I discovered was that it was easily convertible to other calibers, like .40 S&W and .357 SIG that share the same head size. But in doing some more research found that Kimber uses the same breachface cut for both their .38 Super/9mm as the 10mm...so I got a .38 Super barrel and it runs perfectly...as does a 9mm. And 9x23 Winchester and 9mm Largo also run out of the Super barrel...just change the springs...

Was wondering with the Ruger...is the firingpin stop the standard beveled or is it flat bottomed... I've replaced the ones in my guns with flat bottom and it makes a difference...

...well these posts about a 10mm Commander made me just go out and do it. I have several Commanders all in .38 Super...one of them is about to become a 10mm... Went over to ebay and found a brand new slide complete with LPA adjustable sights for $180 and a Fusion barrel-link-pin for $149. Just have to get a barrel bushing, flat bottom firingpin stop, extractor and firing pin.

[Lloyd Smale]

yup that sure would make for a nice carry gun!
