I'd pretty much settled on a Glock 20 10mm and a .40 barrel so I can afford to shoot while being able to keep both my kidneys, but I messed up and looked at a few 1911 styled 10s and now I'm less sold on the Glock.

RIA had a really nice 6" target model but it was about a grand which seems pretty high for an RIA but there are Colt Defenders and Kimbers pretty close to that price.

Are theyre any others I should check out? I know the Glock will work, I've had one before but they aren't as interesting as some of the other options. Also, if I were to get the Glock, should I spring for the Glock 40? It's big and has adjustable sites and taps for optics.

I don't really have a need for any of them. I've just been a fan of 10s since I first read about them 30+ ago.
 
My Dan Wessom Pointman is nicer, better-looking and even more accurate than my very accurate G 20.

The Glock is a fine pistol, but the trigger irritates me badly when I shoot a lot. Just about have to use a glove when I spend much time with it. But it's still a great gun.

Dan Wesson RZ-10 Razorback is a fine choice!
 
There are a lot of good options out there. Colt, Kimber, Glock, Dan Wesson - they're all quality firearms. It kind of comes down to your personal preferences.

I'm pretty sure my next 10mm will be the Glock 40. 15 rounds of 10mm just sounds like a great combination.

I bought a Colt Delta Elite last year and it is definitely a quality gun.
 
EAA/Tanfoglio. They have lots of models to chose from. From affordable to to less so. I have the Witness poly for my EDC.
 
EAA/Witness will give you some pretty good options. The Hunter is a Long Slide, but will say you back a few dollars.

Although, not a big Kimber fan, they do offer a decent 10mm at a reasonable price for a 1911.

The Sig P220 is a beast, and can handle pretty much any load.

The Colt would not be a choice for me, as it does not have a fully supported barrel. This would be important for me, as I regularly shot hot loaded ammo.

If wanting to do a 40/10mm combo, the Glock would be a good choice and so would the Witness.
 
G40

The advent of the tough micro dot, and the fact that the G40 is optic ready, combined with my now 57 yr old eyes, makes the big Glock my new "I want one" 10mm pistol.
 
I know virtually nothing about optics other than iron sights. How would the optics work on the Glock 40? I've noticed the two screw holes near the rear sight, would the optics actually mount on the slide? Would the recoil harm the optics?
 
My 10mm Kimber Eclipse Custom II is the only semi-auto I have or want. When I bought it, I didn't know much about 1911's and their various different features among the various brands. I just knew that I wanted 10mm, and I wanted the grip-lever-controlled firing-pin safety, and so Kimber was the only game in town. Since then, I've come to believe that ALL the design decisions made by Kimber on the Eclipse were exactly the right ones for me ... I was just lucky.
 
I was looking at 10s for a friend.

I found a very nice looking RIA 1911 style in a 10 and it was priced at $598 at the LGS.

The LGS also had one Glock 20 Gen 4 for $670.

What I wound up with was a 40 Gen 4 for $869.

It is bigger than a 1911.

The Friend is rather large and has extra large hands, so the 40 Gen 4 fits him very well. If it was me, I would have bought the RIA as I am a 1911 nut and not a Glock fan.
 
I am very pleased with the Sig P220. Best case support I have seen and accurate. I still have my old IAI Javelina which shoots much better than it should based on what I paid for it many years ago.
 
The first auto loader I ever bought was a sig 220 in .45 I loved that thing. I bet I'd love the 10 just as much but the more I think about it the more I leaning toward the Glock. Not because I love Glocks but I like them well enough and I trust them. The price is good too.
 
If you look carefully...

You would be surprised how well the Witness line shoots. It makes a great SA/DA autoloader. If you're on a tight budget, buy an RIA and replace:

a) The round-bottomed firing pin retainer with a stainless flat-bottomed unit.

b) Have a fully supported (ramped) match barrel fitted to the frame, and

c) a slightly more powerful mainspring (hammer spring).

After these modifications have been performed, you can shoot every 10mm (from wild to mild) manufactured to date.

You'll be a "happy camper",
 
Para Elite LS Hunter

I guess I was one of the few to buy this when it was available. I'm glad I did! It is one of my favorite 10mm's to shoot.
 
Ocra the best way to pick up really nice guns is to decide on what you think you want. I never have enough coins saved up for it at first so I stick a few back every week. I look and compare prices every chance I get. By the time I have the coins saved up I have usually found something I like better or have found a deal I just couldn't pass up. Find one that's been on the shelf for awhile and they often will give you a better deal simply because they have alot tied up in the gun and it hasn't sold. If you settle for less than what you truly want then you will eventually end up buying it later anyway. I have 6 ria 1911's that have never had a single failure. They aren't the best looking but I'd put their dependability up against any. They make several models in 10mm.
