I do not own a ruger in 10mm but do own sr1911 in 45 acp. At over 3000 rounds down range now with not one failure I would have to say the design is top drawer. I did a lot of research before buying mine and there was a lot of talk on the Internet before the sr1911 came out. Then everybody started getting them giving good reviews. Then all the chatter just died off. Nothing for people to complain about so not really much talk at all for years now. I say go for it. Ruger will make it right if you have any problems!
