10mm and That Darn Budget

[SharpDog]

So I was at the doctors today and found an advert for the Kimber Rapide 10mm in a Shooting TImes magazine. Still in the waiting room I started web surfing then this happened:

New for 2019: Kimber Rapide 10mm (also available in .45 acp):

https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/411558898/kimber+1911+rapide+10mm+5in+8rd

So, being a Sig fanboy I began surfing to see what's up in Sig 10mms

and I found this (stoopid brain, wallet hates you)

This is DA/SA



But they also do SAO

And, what's even worse, my LGS is a dealer

I've eyed a Sig Hunter in 10mm many a time.

But my RIA Tactical 10mm 1911 shoots so well the Sig could never match it.

Prefer a 1911 for single stacks but that Kimber sure does have a lot of extraneous holes and a gold barrel, Ruger makes a nice 10mm 1911.

I know they aren’t the highest capacity, and some folks have very legit arguments for different models being “better”but they are great shooters. The DA/SA comes with nightsights. Standard decent Sig trigger. Decocker too.

The SAO has a nicer trigger and adjustable sights. The Stainless SAO is my preference of the two, but the DA one is a great field pistol.

Ruger makes a nice 10mm 1911.

Mine shoots tight groups after I worked on it. 460's SIGs are awesome!

Are those three holes in the slide like the chrome vent looking things Buick put on the front fenders back in the 50/60s?

I’d be curious to know how the chamber support is on that Kimber.

 

[Danw791]

I would imagine it is fully supported. The chamber on my kimber camp guard is.

Y'all are a bunch of enablers.

I bet you’re right. The days of poor 10mm chamber support seem to be over. It just pisses us hand/reloaded off too much.

It’s what we live for on THR brother.

To put in words spoken by Samuel L. Jackson, we want guns to multiply “like catholic rabbits”.
