new pistols

[shawnxj]

so i've been shopping for a new pistol and i've noticed nobody seems to carry the 10mm anymore except glock and well i hate glocks so that's a no go. so what happened to the 10mm and why did it go the way of the dodo?

EAA witness still makes a 10 mm, along with STI and I believe the colt delta elite.

I am.still thinking about getting the EAA witness in 10 mm one day since the CZ75 is my favorite pistol.

never heard of eaa...good looking gun and in my price range. anybody have any practical experience with them?

[twentyfootdaredevil]

I had an old Witness. It was dead reliable, I could feed it anything and it never failed to fire or feed. The problem I had was accuracy, I couldnt hit a 10" plate from 10 yards and neither could anyone else that shot it.

I have heard from other people that they are tack drivers so I must have had a bad one.

1911 in 10mm is pretty easy to find, hit gunbroker.

Colt delta elite for the cool factor.

I'm in the same boat. Been looking at 1006's and delta elites. I have heard the kimber 10mm has reliability problems. Lots of nighthawk 10mm for a pretty penny

[shawnxj]

colts way out of my price range. thought about a 1911 but didn't know they came in a 10mm and most are out of my price range anyways. i was honestly looking for another sig. either a 226 or a 220 but their caliber choices don't include anything i don't already own.

Delta Elite for the win. Bad ass auto.

The Witness pistols suck in comparison to CZ, and zero parts are interchangeable.

I bought the glock 20 SF & A g21 upper so I have 45ACP too
why you hate GLOCKs?
ever even shoot one?

I'm not a big Glock fan(although I own two), but if I had a 10mm, it would be a Glock. If I were limited to just one caliber, it would be 10mm. The only other 10mm i would even think about is the Dan Wesson. The Smiths and Colts both had issues with the frame cracking after using high pressure loads(or so the rumor was), the glock will allow you to take full advantage of the reloading spectrum of the 10mm. If you don't reload, you need to if you are going to shoot 10, other wise just pick up a 40 and you can get most of the same performance out of factory loads. If you load your self(or buy from Chris), you can make some big power with 10

i've shot half a dozen glocks over the years. i just don't like the feel of them and all the glocks i shot had issues. granted they were friends guns and never taken care of but i just didn't understand the fanboy following

Yeah, right.

[busyfixin]

I don't understand the fanboy thing either. I guess that makes me full of shit too?

I've got a couple and I am a fan, but I really like my Sig's more. What I was rolleyes at was this: " all the glocks i shot had issues". Sounds more like somebody has limp wrists.

They definitely arent for everybody.... i have a hard time getting used to plastic guns... personally dont like them either based off shooting a few different models.

Edit: after figuring out the limp wrist deal when i first shot them they functioned fine for me even the beat to shit shot out loose as hell rentals. Just cant standem

I carry a 27 and have shot a 20 but really want a 10mm in a full-size non tupperware gun. Glocks have their place but it's not what I'm interested in

[brokeassjeep]

Gun shop in independence mo has a smith and Wesson 10mm, stainless steel for iirc $750.
Fondled it a few times, and thought long and hard about it. Just don't want to add another handgun caliber (if I repeat this line enough I will believe it )

The EAA's don't have the best reputation. They tend to beat themselves apart and crack the frames. I'm a fanboy, but I can honestly say Glock makes the best 10mm.

[shawnxj]

like i said the glocks i shot were all friends guns and my friends should be shot by their guns for how they keep them. had to clean 2 or 3 at the range so they'd cycle. and yes i do have limp wrists. broke the left 4 times and the right 6 times from being stupid as a kid and motorcycle wrecks. hell i can't feel anything from about the center of my right hand to about 2 inches past the wrist

all the pistols i own now are sigs. they just feel right but i'm looking for something different. saw a sig 1911 at the gun shop last week when i was getting powder and that thing just feels like it belongs in my hand....well other then that grip safety thing...but $750 is my budget for this gun and they wanted $1130
