bgavin Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Any thoughts about the Springfield PB9151LCA? This is a stainless model, GI recoil system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkhorn Ernie Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Handled one at a local gun shop the other day. Felt and looked nice. Slide to frame fit was good and worked nice and smooth. The only down fall was that it had a bull barrel without a bushing so it can not be used in wild bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 We need a 10mm discussion!!! Love mine. (I have several) upside.... (compared to the 45 ACP that I also have several of and love as well) one extra round in the same frame size. for a given bullet weight an extra 2-3 hundred fps. large choice of bullet weights, I have used down to 135 gr. jacketed downside .... uses more powder of a given type considerably more recoil (muzzle flip) at upper end loads frames tend to weigh more steady diet of top end loads can do damage (so I have been told, I have run thousands of 180 jacketed at about 1000 fps without failures) either the 10 or 45 are excellent firearms, for a while 10 seemed to be going away but now there are several mfg that are back in the game. Both are capable of great accuracy, just depends how much load development you want to put in. Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Lawman Mark and Gateway Kid......... THANKS. When I want to shoot a .45, I use my .460 Rowlands. I have 2 of them and they also pack a whallop. The 10mm I have are also controllable, fun to shoot..... and a good range of bullets for reloading from many bullet makers. One of them stays beside my bed at night. And one other thing I have noticed is that not one T-Rex or Sabre Tooth Tiger has ventured around since I starting guarding my edge of the woods with the 10mm. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The only 10mm that are CA compliant appears to be the Kimber Stainess Target and the Eclipse Custom. I'm just kicking tires for educational purposes. My thoughts about a pistol vs a revolver, being the pistol might cycle faster in a pinch. I don't have a dog in this event, so just thinking out loud.

Pretty darn good round. 44 Special can even be stout. Great work there, Elmer Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 My only real thought for a pistol would be potentially faster cycling in a defense scenario. Power was not part of my thoughts, as I can load 44 mag up to wrist breaking levels if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
