Title: Rock Island 10mm
Post by: Mulie87 on April 22, 2020, 09:04:43 PM: Anyone have a RI Ultra 10mm? I’m thinking about picking one up. Want to put a red dot on it and use it for deer hunting out of a blind on private property in a weapons restricted area this coming season. Pros/cons, reviews of the gun is much appreciated.

Post by: Mulie87 on April 22, 2020, 10:01:20 PM: I’m a 1911 guy. Have been for many years, so going with a 1911 for the 10mm just makes sense. I agree you get what you pay for. I have always wanted to harvest a deer with a pistol and this is what I thought up. The reviews I read inline are favorable.

The XDM is an option but, being two completely different platforms, there is a distinct lack of finer points for comparison.

Post by: bustedoldman on April 23, 2020, 07:32:44 AM: Thats a decent price for a new XDM10. I would buy it, but I also like 10mm as I have a Colt Delta Elite, G20, G40.

Standard retail price. Not on sale, but they rarely do go on sale, and then it's $569

Post by: Mulie87 on April 23, 2020, 11:41:21 PM: Some nice guns. Nah, i’m pretty set on the RI. I just wanted feedback from owners on function and reliability. I appreciate all the replies. I’ll probably pick one up next month. I already bought powder to reload the 10mm, so I guess I have to but it😂. When I bought the powder my girlfriend said, “you don’t even have the gun yet.” I replied, “powder is like gold. Gotta get it while you can.”
