Wonderful thread. Years ago I shot a S&W 1006 and loved it. Heavy and shot very tight groups.
In more recent times I have switched to Glocks and glad I did, I have not looked back other than the beautiful pictures of the Deltas and S&Ws in this thread.
I bought a G30 gen4 in .45acp and converted using a stormlake barrel and some minor filing on the extractor.
Shoots great with S&B 180 fmj at 1250 fps or so for target shooting. I also handload with Missouri lead bullets in 170 and 140 gr. Can really push them along.
I have lately been shooting with standard .45acp barrel because I got a G36 that came with 500 rounds of ammo and wanted to shoot it in the G30 because
frankly, the G36 is very snappy on recoil and tough on trigger fingers. So, I have almost retired my 10mm conversion barrel temporarily.
Next I got a G20sf that came with a glock barrel and KKM match stainless barrel 6 inch. This gun shoots very well, but rarely shoot it with the KKM barrel.
Both G30 converted to 10mm and the G20 I have added stronger recoil springs to keep brass from flying 20 feet.
Still have brand new box of Star brass 500 cases that I have never got around to loading yet because I have about
Holy crap! If you're getting 1250 ft/s with a 180gr projectile from a barrel that short, those are some of the hottest loads available.
Just wondering if any of you guys have shot the Sig P220 Hunter? I am seriously thinking about grabbing one but still on the fence just cause of the cost but really thinking about it.
Thanks
Stopped to pick up a gun at a LGS and they had a Kimber Custom Eclipse. Spent a few minutes fondling it and if it hadn't said Kimber, I would have bought it.
Good looking gun. Tight and smooth slide function. Really decent factory trigger.
Cabela’s has Herter’s 10mm ammo for $17.99 + free shipping. 180gr, 1164ft, sec. not anything like a spec load, but cheap plinking ammo.

The S&W 1076 is pretty much the Holy Grail of the 10mm pistol world.

IIRC, original Norma spec was 1300fps at 170gr, 1200fps at 200gr, so 180@1250fps isn't really outside the norm(a).
See what I did there?
I need to Chrono ths 2 I guess
