Rock Island 10mm Pistol for ATV hunting..........

[CAMPMEAT]

Oh baby............ I have a chest holster coming for it.


Pretty nice pistol for $600.

Good choice in going with the 10mm. Those ATV'S can be hard to bring down!

Nice looking sidearm! I have a Glock 20 and I'm gathering components to reload, can't find 10mm around here for crap.


When does the season open up to hunt ATV's? (Sorry I couldn't resist)

Especially those big bore ones........

I know I'll get the business about ATV hunting.......

www.gunbot.com (?) and www.gunbroker.com has a lot of loaded 10mm ammo for sale.  Just know what 10mm ammo is going for so you won't pay too much. I carry a 29SF in 10mm. Love that caliber.

I'm using underwood ammo right now. No complaints, all have fed properly and seem to group well.

You shooting it through a Glock ? I used some crappy wad cutters and it wouldn't feed maybe 6 times. I know it's the ammo. The gun got rave reviews, that's why I bought it. I want it for bear/wolf hunting if I'm lucky enough to have one near the road.

I'm using a G20 with a few goodies.


I would advise against shooting non-jacketed bullets too.   Wadcutters are low power so they'll stovepipe on ya, and all that lead is going to foul things up.


change that recoil spring to a 20# spring and run the big stuff through it.  You'll need a special tool to get it done, paper clip tool.

I don't think I'll need a bigger spring. I just have to buy some good ammo. I had the wad cutters for my 29sf.
I do have that tool for removing the barrel. Can you believe that

I've had good luck with the underwood, it's way cheaper than buffalo bore with same performance.

If you plan to hunt game though I'd get the hollow point 200 grain,  XTP if you can find it.

I think it's www.gunbot.com that has all the ammo listed where you can buy any and all ammo. The shipping is darn near $20 form some and most of the sellers.
I use www.grafs.com They use FEDEX and charge $ 6.95 for home delivery.

It's a great handgun, I don't own one but I've shot them. I know it doesn't effect anything but it does make me crazy!!! Why did they have to put the factory markings all the way down the darn slide.?

[Heredoggydoggy]

I was going to give you a bad time about shooting ATV's but the other guys beat me to it!  Nice gun, Camp!  Everyone I know that has one loves it.  The reason it didn't get to be popular, is that the FBI was going to adopt it, but in testing they found that their female agents couldn't control the recoil, so they went to the 40 S&W instead.  Just the same bullet diameter in a shorter case....
