I'm intrigued!
I'm a 10mm fan, as you guys likely have seen. I shoot my Glock 20 a lot, and have no issues with the recoil (it's a lot more tame than my brother's S&W 1006) even with full pressure loads. I put a few hundred rounds of Buffalo Bore 220gr hard cast, the bear load, and the 180gr JHP, the SD load, through it before trusting it. I love the ballistic performance of the 10mm, but as I've stated in other threads, that choice of cartridge may not be appropriate for all shooters.
Most of my shooting with that gun is with S&B 180gr. Not a bad load, at 1150 FPS. A bit mild compared with the Buffalo Bore, but not as soft as everything else on the market, which is really just ".40 long" at 1050 FPS for 180gr loads.
Anyway, it's a great cartridge, with excellent performance, if you like a heavy bullet at higher velocities (and I do). No wonder the FBI chose it decades ago...and then, abandoned it after discovering that shooter, caliber, and weapon are a system...and that their agents weren't doing well with that weapon (1006) and caliber.
My brother also has a Dan Wesson 10mm Razorback. A HUGE disappointment. It was properly lubricated before firing, then locked up, TIGHT, on the 3rd magazine. The slide jammed on the frame. A block of wood and a hammer was required to get it apart. You could see the galling. They claimed it was my brother's fault, for not lubricating it.
A brand new $1,600 pistol that failed in 20 rounds? And it's not their fault? They will never see a dime of my $$...and I had figured that the Colt Delta Elite was my only hope of a 1911 in 10mm...
So, bravo Ruger!
I'll take a look...just...after I pay tuition, and for a wedding this fall...
