The Shadow is right. Using too much Lemishine OR leaving the brass soak too long will cause it to turn pink. My solution is 1/4 teaspoon in 1 pint of water. And don't allow it to soak more than an hour (preferably 45 mins). Be sure to rinse the brass after soaking.  Remove the primers prior to soaking to get the pockets clean. 

Red flag laws would be the most abused laws if approved. What I really hate is that they want to make a red flag law that does not require that the person making the complaint identify themselves. What about the law that allows you to confront your accuser? This would also be very dangerous for law enforcement. Some gun owners will not comply with cops coming to their home, demanding the gun owner's guns and refusing to I.D. the person who made the complaint. Talk about a police state! Democrat politicians will make sure that as many guns as possible are confiscated.

I have a Kahr MK40 and a CW380 and they have been very reliable. Quality pistols.

I have this holster for my Rock Island Armory Ultra FS, HC, 10mm pistol and it fits great.

My RIA Ultra 10mm kicks the cases almost straight up and to the right a little. I usually use a brass deflector (mesh style) and have to place it just about directly on top of the gun.

My Rock Island Ultra FS HC 10mm works great. I got it specifically for going out into the woods and wanted a large cap pistol. 

Let the anti-gun people sweat out these tense times. DemocRATs want to take away our guns when times are good but when things turn to sh*t they have no problem with owning guns. They can't have it both ways.
Let the democRATs feel what it's like to be unarmed when others just might want to steal what they have. And we haven't even gotten to the worst times.

I loaded up a hundred A USA 10mm brass that was once fired. Everything went fine. Shot like any other brass. Flash holes & primer pockets look normal. Primer pockets are not off-center and the primers seated at the proper depth. I would use this brass without reservation.

I just bought this holster and it works great. It can be used as a chest holster or a vertical shoulder type rig. Excellent construction and materials. Can beat the price. Can hold a number of different handguns.

Bongo Boy,

The recoil spring choice is one of compromise. You want a spring that allows the slide to cycle completely BUT you don't want the slide to have so much slide speed that it slams the frame so hard that it might start cracking it. Would be interesting to call Rock Island and ask them what the spring "poundage" is for the factory spring.

I had no problems with the mag that came with the gun and the other one that I ordered from Grab-a-gun (same as factory). Every round fed properly AFTER I solved the FTF problem by increasing the powder charge.

Good luck with your RIA and your new XDM.

Rock Island Tac Ultra FSHC Review:

After doing some handloading to break in this gun I quickly found out that it requires more than just a "break-in" load. I loaded up some 10mm plated bullets I had laying around with a middle of the road charge. Right in the middle between a starting load and a max load. Bullet weight was 135, 155 & 165. About 25% of the rounds failed to feed. If I slightly pulled the slide back the round popped up and slid into the barrel. Suspecting that the recoil spring is rather stiff on these 10mm guns I loaded up some LaserCast 200 gr hard cast bullets with Power Pistol. Loads ran from 6.8 to 7.6 grains. All rounds functioned well with no failures to feed. Average bullet speed was 1160 FPS. No high pressure signs (but getting close). I'm assuming that Rock Island designed this gun around the power you would get from factory loads and wanted reliability above all else. I just didn't load them hot enough. I guess that if I wanted to shoot lower powered rounds I could just swap out the recoil spring for a lighter one and all would be well. But I bought a 10mm for it's power so I will load for it. Group at 15 yds was 1" and that was with my not-so-great glasses. I really like this gun. Feels great with the wider grip and the extra weight definitely tames the recoil a bit. However, I fired 80 rounds the first day and my hand hurt for several days afterwards. I tried several brands of factory ammo and they all ran very well...no flaws. Field stripping this gun for cleaning is very easy. Different than a traditional 1911 but not difficult.

For a holster I got a BlackHawk Universal Spec-Ops Pistol Harness available from Amazon ($57). If you've never tried a chest holster you don't know what you're missing. Very comfortable and it is never in the way. And with the weight of this gun when loaded (how else would you carry it?) this can be a much better choice than a belt holster. I plan to do a more load testing with different powders and I'll post my results on this forum.

Many thanks to everyone who answered my questions. Your knowledge is invaluable.

I use NuFinsih and used dryer sheets. When the weather is decent I put the vibrator tumbler outside and take the top off. If there is a breeze it will carry away the dust.

I didn't use any code. That was just the price when I logged onto their site.

Ordered another mag from GrabaGun for $29.09. It's sacrilegious for a gun be be sold with only one mag.

Just bought a Rock Island Ultra FS HC 10mm handgun. As you know it comes with only one mag. Does anyone know where to buy additional 16 rd mags without paying the confiscatory prices that Armscor wants?

Thanks.
