Finally got my VZ G10 grips for the Ruger SP-101. These are the 'hyena-brown' version:

Gear/Equipment / VZ Grips Adds SP-101/GP-100 Grips To Product Line-up.
February 27 2020 07:37:34 PM MST
VZ Grips just announced, that their G10 grips will be available for Ruger SP-101 revolvers on March 11th. Price will be $80 USD. They also plan on making these for the GP-100 series too. These will be far better than the dismal, factory-grips that come standard on these pieces.
I have a set on my Lew Horton N-frame, and couldn't be happier.

10mm semi-auto handguns / Re: Kimber Custom II 10mm.....Any Opinions?
July 13 2019 08:25:22 PM MDT
Hard to pass on a 10mm Kimber Custom II for under $800 USD. Since, most of their base-models start at a grand, or slightly more. Picked-up this Gold Match in .45 ACP for under-a-grand, when Galyan's was still in business. I like it so-much, that I bought a Target II in 10mm shortly afterwards. I think, that you will really like your new pistol!

I bought my 'Razor' a few years-back new, and paid a little north of $1200 USD; if I remember correctly. It's accurate, solid, and a well-built 1911.

10mm revolvers / Re: Are the 610's Back

What would be, even more interesting; would be to see a King Cobra in 10mm. Perhaps, the Anaconda would-be more germane. But I can see your dilemma. I would probably, go with the sage advice already given, and grab a 610 first. As a manufacturer, S&W can be quite capricious when comes to the 610 runs. The Kimber will always be there, when your ready. The Colt does look inviting though.

S&W has a repugnance to marketing-input. Especially, in regard to the 10mm. Their stainless-steel 10xx-series are still sought-after by collectors, and shooters alike. How they got around to re-introducing the 610 is beyond me. Seems like they have a 'black-belt' in stupid over there!

I need a 3inch to go with the 6.5in and 4in no locks I already have Smith.
The 3" Lew Horton is a hoot to shoot! Recoil was manageable with all my preferred loads.

Interesting to see S&W re-introduce the 'classic' 610. Someone in their 'marketing-department' actually listened. Most of those, who field 10mm, 1911's often have a GP-100, or 610 in the battery to compliment the other handgun. These 'new' revolvers will most likely have the same dimensions as previous incarnations. It would be a neat 'hat trick' if Dan Wesson introduced a 10mm revolver in their 'pistol-pak' format. But I'll accept the 'good news' from S&W. It shows; that the 10mm caliber popularity, is still creating more market-share. That's a good thing for our favorite chambering. There are still a few manufacturing holdouts, who still; do not produce a 10mm autopistol. Some of those being: S&W, FN, Walther, HK, and Steyr. At least, the last-time I checked. Finally, If you don't like auto-pistol cartridges in a revolver, just don't buy one. Leave the rest of us, shoot in peace.

This one looks like a big win for Ruger. Especially, for those who missed out on those Lew Horton 3" model 610's. These are going to become classics too. Somebody over-there is actually listening to their customer-base now.

10mm revolvers / Re: New Ruger GP100 10mm Match Champion

I'm glad to see, Ruger is finally listening to it's customers. They used to be the last ones to offer anything new, or exciting. The GP-100, is a much more versatile platform, than the big Super Redhawk. The Super, would also be a good candidate for a 10mm Magnum conversion. I wonder, as someone else mentioned, if S&W will get-woke, and offer the 610 as a re-issue? They offer no autopistols in this caliber either, amazing.

10mm revolvers / Re: Ruger Announces Super Redhawk in 10mm
November 14 2017 08:53:06 PM MST
I mused about Ruger coming-out with a 10mm revolver a couple years ago. I thought for sure, it would be the basic Redhawk, or GP-100. Anything that helps mainstream the 10mm is all right with me though. The more 10mm's the better. I'd give Ruger a chance, to see what else they come-out with in the near-future.

General Discussion / Coonan announces new satin-finished 10mm!
July 15 2017 08:41:13 PM MDT
This is one beautiful pistola:

It seems natural, that a company like Coonan would eventually chamber a 1911 in the vaunted 10mm cartridge. The 'round' too tough for the FBI!

10mm semi-auto handguns / Re: Sig Tac Ops vs Ruger What do you think?

I would pick the SIG, simply because it is more user-friendly to a southpaw.

Doesn't seem like a bad pistol for the money. I would do a few minor tweaks, such as new grips, trigger, and ambi-safety. Maybe Ruger, will deign to offer this 1911 in .38 Super someday; we can only hope.

I wouldn't mind seeing Dan Wesson chamber a 10mm-version of their revolver. Same goes for the Ruger GP-100, or Redhawk. Especially, since Ruger made a .44 Special. A lot of the polymer-giants, also have as of yet, neglected the 10mm. Can you say: FN, CZ, H&K, Walther, Springfield Armory, and Beretta?
