Yikes! A dollar a pop!! I used to pay that for 50 cal AP for my Barrett. Ahhhh.... the good old days.
I maybe missing something here guys, and if I am... my apologies but, I have a few 10mm 1911's. My Kimber is my favorite, You can get a Colt Delta, and I am sure there are others too... I know the Colt can get pricey but, I scored a minty used Kimber 10mm for about 800 just 6 months ago. Have these gotten harder to find?? Maybe a jump in price from the 7-800 you say this one will be? Since I have 3 10mm I have not looked at these for about a half year but, if things are still the same, this news isnt to exciting.
The other thing is... I can not find ammo for under 40.00 a box of 50. I am now reloading but, even casing for a 10 are totally ridiculous.
Anyway, just some thoughts...
Now if I only had some 10mm Silvertips.
Best I've gotten in the last year was $17/box and that was a couple older boxes on a shelf of a gunshop. $20-22/box is typical. Hence why I only shoot it to cycle out my carry ammo every month or two.
Andrew at Profire Arms has 50rd boxes of 180gr 10mm JHP for 29.99. As of this afternoon he had 3 boxes left.
I have the Colt DE, as well as a bunch of other 10mms. I'm just excited that another major manufacturer is making a stock 10mm.
I've not bought commercial ammo other than my carry ammo for years. In bulk the brass isn't any more expensive than .45acp and the reloading costs are exactly the same as loading for .40s&w.
why the love for silvertips?
While Winchester Silvertips are not the hottest load out there, for me at least, they have been the most consistent and reliable 10mm round I've shot. They feed and function well, seem to be fairly accurate and have plenty of energy.

It's too bad CTD got the first shipment since I refuse to do business with them. I can wait for a better vendor to get them in stock.
2008 election their prices trippled that night, they really set off the panic buying,. I will avoid them if at all possible.Why?? am I missing something about them?
what about smith 610 in 10mm
