I promised myself I wouldn't buy anymore 1911s this year, after already buying two, but I came across one that is an Essex frame, Remington Rand Slide 10mm. The price is excellent, but I thought WWII 1911 parts (like the slide) were not as strong as current production 1911s, so I am wondering about the durability of this gun. But maybe all the pressure is in the barrel? Also, I assumed that a 45 slide wouldn't work for a 10mm/40S&W round, but maybe it was worked up.
The owner says it functions flawlessly, but I would hate to buy my 1st clunker gun.
I'm going to look at it tomorrow, but would appreciate any thoughts on it. Sorry I don't have any pictures either.
