I was enthusiastic about it when I made the first post, but unless the selling price is significantly less than the MSRP then just buying another used S&W 1006 might be a better option.

Gym I have no issues finding 10mm ammo, however I don't buy it in the stores. I either purchase from Underwood for SD and hunting ammo, or sites like ammoman for target loads.
When I can get it shipped to my door for free with no tax, I often find this to be the better deal anyways. My Walmart hasn't had any 9mm or 5.56 available for some time either.

As much as I like 10mm. If I didn't use it for "woods" and SD? I'd be just fine with a more common caliber.
With all the shortages we've had lately. 10mm is one of the few things I can always find, on the shelf.

Just a link to the website about the gun...

The MSRP is 1250. which means a street price of 200-300 less. Which ain't too bad if you are in the market for a long slide 10mm 1911.
Just for folks knowledge: Para-Ord was founded in 1985 in Canada. A few years back it relocated to the U.S. It was the first company to make a production double stack 1911. It did very well at this and sold a lot of them. It has also made single stack guns for a good long time now.
10mm is a very good round. It is a niche cartridge. It won't ever be wildly popular but it's too good a round to die. A number of company's make good loads for the 10mm both for hunting and defense work.

All in all. I'm glad another 10 is coming out. I am a full supporter or the 10. This one, however, is not one I would buy.
First thing is the mile long barrel. At most, 5" but really 4" will be good.
I like the single stack idea, I prefer the 1911.
Para is one I have had no experience with. I have heard both pro and con about it.
Price. They have jacked the price up. They need to price it down where the common man/woman can afford it.
Maybe this will start them with more 10's. I fully believe that the 10mm round is a great defensive round and can fill a niche.
