Now how HOT is this Dan Wesson Commander Classic Bobtail in 10mm?

I just noticed that CZ / DW is now offering this bad boy as a "tener"

Very hot. It would be scorching if they'd offer it with a lightweight alloy frame.

I was also a little surprised at the listed mag capacity. 7 rounds of 10mm in a full size frame? Surely they can get at least 8 in there, and I'd think you should be able to do 9.

It looks to me like they had to change the floorplate of the mag to accomodate the angle cut.I'd think that a "regular" mag would hold the extra round but would protrude past the angled edge of the frame.

It's different anyways.

Aaah - a dream gun - hopefully it will be available where I am shopping!

I'd bet a dollar the listed capacity is for the .45.

Hot stuff, Maynard!

For that price they can have it. If I was going big bore CZ, I'd rather have the CZ-75 anyway.

My 5" Patriot is a tack driver. I would very much like to carry that Commander.

Nope.
Wrong answer.

No special magazines are required.
The bobtail cut does not intrude into the magazine well. The mainspring housing still extends all the way to the bottom of the grip. It's just beveled.

I'd bet a dollar the listed capacity is for the .45.

And we have a WINNER!

The Dan Wesson in 10mm uses the very same magazines as the Colt Delta Elite or any other 1911 pattern 10mm.

As a side note for everyone, I accidentally only brought Wilson combat mags to the range once for my 1911's, and REALLY wanted to shoot my Delta Elite, so i figured "What the heck!" and tried it anyways. No jams. I shot 100 rounds that day with no problems of any kind. I went back a few weeks later and did the same thing, with no problems. So I kept doing it. After 500 rounds, I figure they're safe enough to use.

Quick tip for anyone with a 10mm 1911.

So for those of us who don't know anything about Delta Elites or other 10mm 1911s, what exactly is the mag capacity? 8 rounds? 9?

And does anyone know whether it would be possible to built a pistol similar to that Wesson on an alloy frame? Does any manufacturer do so, already?

It would be hot if it worked. My 10mm bobtail DW needed so much work to get it running it was not worth the trouble.
