I didn't see it either. Someone, Buckeye? had a short run of 38/40 & 10mm dual cylinder revolvers produced on a Blackhawk frame in the late 80's or early 90's. I shot one within a few months after buying a 90 Chev pickup which is my only way of dating it.

I have a SR1911 standard 45 that I shoot competition with. Great
gun. Accurate and 100% reliable. Great value.

Looked at that on Ruger's website. I've not had much interest in another 10MM 1911 after owning a couple. But Ruger is doing some things right with theirs, IMHO. Ramped bull barrel and adjustable sights. The integral ramp allows superior case head support. The bull barrel provides extra recoiling mass, desirable if one intends to use the real 10mm ammo, as opposed to the .40 S&W level loads. And the adjustable sights, due to the wide range of bullet weights and velocities available in factory and reloaded 10MM ammo. Looking forward to examining Ruger's new offering.
And they said the 10 mm was dead!

Despite rumors of it's demise, the 10mm is alive and well. Glad to see another manufacturer come on board. The Ruger 10mm looks like it has all the right parts to make it a really good one.

I am not sure how strong the Ruger 1911's are as opposed to their Old Model Vaqueros, but it sounds like the tried to build this one right. 10mm is a funny caliber. You're either shooting the long big primer .40 or your shooting full house. The gun tends to need different springs to do each. I have springs for factory rounds and I have a spring setup for my stuff. Either way this gun is best fired over a tarp or fine mesh netting to collect the brass. Mine goes about 25 feet with a 28# recoil spring.

If it doesn't come with a flat bottom firing pin stop that will be easy to add later to help slow down unlocking and slide speed. Got to admit that I'm interested.

This post made me smile. The factory firing pin stop is a joke on my Delta. I radiused a flat bottom to optimize for my loads. You can also add a stronger main spring, but that's going to increase trigger pull weight slightly. 28# recoil spring and a 23# main spring will also slow things down and prevent the frame getting peened with upper end loadings.

I bought this RIA 10mm recently to get into a 10mm without spending a ton of $$, Really a great round and so far (~300 rounds) the gun has been 100%.

10mm has been my concealed carry choice for a decade. Whats not to like about a semi-auto cartridge with borderline .41 mag ballistics?

Always wanted a ten millimeter pistol. Idk pistol or another n frame revolver.
Maybe instead of him selling.....
.... you one, you should get a new LGS.
Well, I'll be damned.
Now maybe my favorite LGS will stop bashing SR1911's and try to sell me one instead.

RUGER does EVERYTHING right with their firearms! They have now set the standards for the 1911 platform. Looks like I will have to add one to my stable.
