I have some questions concerning the 10mm cartridge.
1. Do full-house loads take their toll on the pistol? (I'm thinking a Dan Wesson in particular.) 1911Tuner has made some comments to the effect that .45 Super and (I think) full-house 10mm jar the locking lugs to the point that they eventually become loose and sloppy; comments posted by others have lead me to believe that heavier recoil springs may even exaggerate this, since they slow the slides rearward movement at the moment of recoil, and slam the slide back into battery that much harder. What's the full story on all this?
2. Is there anything that can be done to clear up the problem of casings ejecting too far?
3. Does something like a Sprinco buffer address the first problem?
