Interested in a 10mm 1911 but it seems like especially recently there is very limited options. What are you favorite ones out there today?
Favorite target 10mm 1911?

A good friend has a Dan Wesson Bruin and its an excellent 1911.
The extra long barrel provides a longer sight radius, and a bit of free velocity too.

Of the few that I've shot, I decided on a Springfield Range Officer Elite Operator. Otherwise, I would have snagged their Ronin...

Only possible downside are the sites. Not sure if you want fully adjustable rear and something besides fiber optic fronts. But it's not difficult to have them changed out to your liking.

Kimber Target 1911, beautiful pistol, should be able to get one for less than a grand. ($999)
I also have an Iver Johnson, long slide 1911 10mm, about $800. Not a bad gun but both IJ’s I’ve had needed a taller front sight.

I have been considering the Springfield Armory ROnin. Not for target use, but just because I like it and the 10mm. I am definitely interested in what everyone has to say in this thread

Every CZ that doesn't cost 1,500 dollars or more gets labeled as a "service/duty" gun.
So from that understanding, I guess a "target" gun means it isn't like a standard CZ, ie, the trigger is horrible.
The Tanfoglio Witness comes in a lot of flavors. a 10mm metal base Witness can be 400 up to the Witness in the 2,500 range.
All these suggestions are the same price as a Tangfoglio (IFG importer, not EAA) Defiant Limited. The Defiant is about 1,100 dollars. The Defiant is what CZ copied when they made the Shadow. The Defiant Limited is the Tactical Sport equivalent.
Also have the Tanfoglio Hunter in 10mm with the 6" barrel.
There is also the polymer Tanfoglio 10mm "P" series that is a polymer SP-01 like flair for under 600.
If I wanted 10mm, I would look pretty good at Tanfoglio.

NO. Most fixed sight guns DO NOT shoot to point of aim. A handgun be it a revolver or semi auto with ADJUSTABLE SIGHTS. Can be adjusted so point of impact equals point of aim.

like v. bought
I really like the looks of the two tone Ronin, and the Ruger is appealing too. I've heard positive comments about both.
What I bought was a RIA 1911a1, yes in 10mm, for less than half of the price of either. John Harrison put a set of his "retro" sights on it for me and it was still a bargain. Yes, a bottom feeder, ugly as sin, but 500 rds in w/ no failures or issues. It needs a beavertail to be shot a lot, and accuracy is just acceptable, but that could be my loads.
Local Rural King has these pistols at present for $449.00. I paid $409.00 for mine June 2021.

Probably makes a Navy SEAL smile, but for a “target 10mm 1911,” do you need all that weight?

I recently purchased a R.I.A. Pro Match Tac Ultra 6" HC, in 10mm. I added a Holosun 507c red dot to it. It's very accurate with my reloads of 180 gr. Hornady FTX bullets and factory FMJ 180 gr. S&B ammo.
I'll be using it for deer hunting, this fall.
