Fondled 4 different 10MM pistols today

[Iggy]

I was one of the instigators convincing then Dan Wesson owner Bob Serva to come up with a 10 mm in a 1911 configuration. The result was the Razorback. The first 150 buyers could request custom features. I was the first to place an order and got the gun with my old WHP badge number (25) as the serial number, XS sights, and serial numbers on the magazine.
As a result of my input, Bob sent mine in a presentation case.



I liked the gun enough that I contacted Bob and asked him about possibility of a CCO version of the Razorback.
Bob said that sounds like fun, lets do it. As a result, a few weeks later I received to my knowledge, the only CCO Razorback in existence and it has my badge number as the serial number too.

I carried one or the other everyday on the ranch for 20 years. When we moved back to town, I retired them and went to a Colt Defender 45. Not quite as much horsepower and muzzle blast for town living.

Wow! That's a great story!

Wait, what? Your revolver throws your brass into the next county?

I've been thinking of getting a 10mm revolver. Love the one I have but it has one major downfall. If you reload and try to recover your brass...good luck! My gun as most semi-autos eject the brass to another county.

No, what I have is a 1911 Springfield, and I have been thinking of getting a revolver because the 1911 ejects brass far, very far. I should have worded it better.

You might try an oversized firing pin stop from EGW. It’s not beveled on the bottom and that requires more slide recoil energy to cock the hammer, thus reducing recoiling slide speed and strength to throw the brass so far.
First thing I did with my two 1911 10 mms. It may take a very minimum amount of filing on the sides of the stop to reduce the width of the stop, but if an old barb wire cowboy like me can do it, you can too.

Mine drop the brass a couple of feet from me and it’s much easier to recover.

The M610 is easily the best 10mm I've ever shot. The buttery smooth trigger is superb. I've learned to appreciate moonclips, the N-frame mass mitigates recoil extremely well, and I really enjoy not having to track down my brass over in the next county.

If I were looking for a 10mm revolver that would be the one. Very nice! I agree, chasing brass is a pain in the rear.

Thanks, I'll check into that.
