Shoots 10mm and gave me an opportunity to use all the .40S&W brass I've been picking up over the years. Nothing ugly about that at all IMHO –– and I absolutely love the look of and unfluted cylinder. |
Err shots of single 10mm guns. They need more company.
Colt delta elite, glock 20fs, smith and wesson 1006, and smith and wesson 610 6inch. Since that picture the 1006 was bead blasted to clean it up some. Plan on picking up a 20sf and a 29 at some point. For the ar-10 side. 
First setup of my ar-10 build. Going to either sell it or switch the barrel to a noveske down the road as I hate the cut they did on it. Might just sell it and put the money to an obr. Anyway specs have changed a little since the pic. Armalite stripped lower with armalite lpk, lmt ambi safety, magpul trigger guard, hogue grip, timmey trigger(haven't shot it since installing this), armalite buffer and parts, lmt sopmod stock. Upper is a armalite 16 inch upper with fa with a troy rear sight(has a wilson in the pic), mi front sight and a 3-9 accupoint in a larue mount. |

A couple of years ago, I took a Colt Delta Elite and did a carry conversion on it, to put the things I considered important for a daily carry piece. Outside of the refinishing and the sight installation, I did all of the work in my shop in the garage. Here's what I wound up with. I have a bunch of .45 ACP 1911s that don't get shot anymore... This 10mm turned into my "go-to" gun.

S&W 1076, the only 10mm I own. I'm thinking about getting rid of it and getting out of the caliber entirely. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff35/kemays/1076-left.jpg Want to sell it? |

Nah, I'll hang onto it for a while. God forbid I come across a stockpile of 10mm after SHTF and have nothing to shoot it through. |

yea im pretty sold on the 10 ... im thinking 1911 in 10mm ... i dont have a 1911 ... and i dont care for 45... now to go ogle some delta elite's I'd look at the Dan Wesson 10mm 1911's as well. I've read they stoped making them but never really looked into it. |

Neither one are shot any longer.... Both have been xrayed and magnafluxed, and I have spare parts to last a lifetime... But no spare frame or slide...

Think big. The Megastar will make your Delta Elite or Glock seem petite.
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj105/strela_photos/IMG_0510-1.jpg Yep, think Big, also accurate and attractive.. This rare S/A OMEGA with 6" ported longslide and polygonal barrel is one of the last production units out the door from S/A and Peters Stahl of Germany after they stopped doing business together, (why couldn't they get along buisness wise  ) so while very early models had some parts breakage reports (not unlike early Deltas) this baby has all upgrades and is rock solid. The 6" gun is built to match specifications, and bench rested can hold sub 3" groups @ 50 yards in my hands, and sub 2" groups in the hands of a couple of my friends (obviously better shooters). The 10mm factory rounds are very much downloaded from a couple decades ago, so the longevity and anything breaking does not and has not concerned me as it has several others who had some early models.
I have also recently discovered that due to the dual extractors I can shoot .40 S&W (hotter loads to make it cycle) rounds through it wih no ill effects, and for some reason the .40's are a lot more accurate than my 2 other .40 dedicated pistols. That is a nice feature, and less expensive to shoot. Exteremly light felt recoil and the gun feeds them without issue. Only comparison I can think of is going from .357 mag to .38 special. That's what the difference feels like. I sure wish they still made this beauty.

I get new manufacture HSM 10mm for 28$ a box at the store, and 18-25 bucks a box at the gunshow. So, it's within a few bucks of .45. I have bought and shot some HSM 10mm and also 9mm from a local Sportsmans Warehouse before they closed down last fall. While better than nothing, they were both really dirty compared to standard factory ammo, and they were very low powered (I didn't chrony it, but) compared to some standard factory loads you could feel the difference. I know that's subjective, but after 30 plus years, you can just tell sometimes.. I also noticed barely a crimp, so I was a bit concerned with bullet set back. They did function without issue, accuracy was not stellar and they were as mentioned pretty dirty. But you shoot what you can find if you don't reload.. I have about 400 rounds of older federal, corbon, winchester, and blazer that I am just shooting sparingly and replenishing as I find it. I don't need to shoot the 10mm all that much, but it's like a fine cigar, every now and then, you just want to have a fine smoke.. Then I break it out and have a few shots!

Beautiful CDE But where is the guy with the Dan Wesson Razorback? I carry my Glock 29 most times, set up my Glock 20 with a 6" hunting barrel for deer and hog out to 60 yards, and my SW610 is likewise setup for shooting both 10mm and 40SW - no conversion needed
BUT this 10mm carbine is the hoot to shoot: 
Would love to buy an Olympic Arms 6.5" 10mm AR-15 pistol but know that recoil on your cheek would not be fun. |

Love those grips! |

stockpile of 10mm 
One can dream can't we? I'd love to find a nice stock pile of 10mm. Got 4 of them and have plans for more. Contact Montana Gold Bullets in Montana and order a case of 180 grain HPs or FPs, buy a pounder of Alliant Power Pistol, get some large pistol primers and spend three hours with your Dillon 550 and you too can have ammo cans, ammo cans, ammo cans of 10mm and make a few 40sw round too. |

Tite Group is cleaner. Agreed, though Hodgon Longshot will give you the best possiible velocities, almost 200 fps more in the 10mm  For 10mm and Hodgdon, Longshot is the most overlooked high velcoity moederate pressure powder. You're right, I use Power Pistol and Longshot for 10mm. TiteGroup for 9mm and 45 acp. Universal for 40SW. |

10mm ammo is hella expensive. Wrong, it's no more expensive than 45 ACP if you mail order. Next time, do some research before spouting misinformation. True to that. The only thing I'd say or add is that when shopping locally, 10mm is more rare and difficult to get than .45 ACP. At least where I live and the sporting/guns stores I have access too. |
