10mm > .45ACP The only advantage the .45acp has is that ALL ammo is subsonic. Easy to suppress, but so is my 9mm and I’d rather smack dat booty with the 10mm that’s got a compensator on the end like my XDM OSP 10mm. That’s my self defense/hunting/combat handgun of choice, wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s all cause of the BEST millimeter 10/10.
Never shot a 45acp. But, I do own a Springfield Armory Ronin 1911 in 10 mm. I love it. I’m thinking of getting another Ronin 1911 in 10mm so it has a friend.
@@2wheeleddemon999 u got the double stack one? I can only find the single stack in stores around me. And personally in my g29 I carry civil defense hollows 60gr. 2400fps 780fpe and the recoil is so easy. And also 135gr underwood hollows. But that’s carry. I have some buffalo bore 220 gr also and some normal 180 range stuff. But that’s y I love 10mm. The wide range of ammo u can use.
From a statistical point, 10mm is the best cartridge hands down for the "stopping power" strength. But from a personal standpoint, .45 ACP is cheaper to shoot but if you have a g21, you can get a conversion barrel for 10mm and with an upgraded guide rod and trigger housing, you have a 2 in 1 scenario. I personally love .45 ACP only because that's what I was raised to believe. I carry a g26 9mm as a conceal carry and I recognize that I prefer the larger grip of the .45/10mm frames. Don't look at the historical factor but more of the practical factors. Round count, muzzle velocity, and ranged velocity all play a factor in the "best carry piece" but in reality, if it fits your hand better, you're more accurate/proficient, or if it's down to the scientific analysis, just go with what you know and appreciate. Ill carry my full size g21 but out of necessity I'll carry the sub compact g26 or my favorite makarov. In the end if you're a gun guy I'll support you!
I agree, or with that standard .45 acp upgrade the barrel to shoot 45 super, an now you can shoot all versions of 45, 45+p , 45 super an 45 acp. An the 45 super is close to 460 Rowland power.
Cheaper to shoot??? Umm Idk whats changed and when, but looking up ammo, 10mm is about 35-45 cents/rd where everything Ive found of 4acp is double that.
I'm a 45ACP guy. I recently acquired a TISAS Bantam Bobtail Commander. The factory trigger was sandpaper. A few passes with a fine stone on the Sear jig from Brownells turned it into a dream. It's as good as my Kimber and S&W bobtail carry guns.
I love the ergonomics of a 1911. I prefer the 10 mm. It is a much flatter shooting round. Has a wider selection of ammunition all the way from 90 gain to 220.great for self-defense,and hunting
Clint i have to say honestly that you are one of the most enjoyable if not the most enjoyable TH-camr ever. I love your sense of humor and that you are always smiling.if I ever own a 1911 it's going to be in 10mm. God bless. Take care.
I bought my Colt Delta Elite 10mm 1911 back in 1987. The 10mm was still brand new, and the only ammo for it was rip-roaring full-power Norma ammo. The first time I fired it I loved it. 10mm is a great caliber. However ... I also own a Mars-modified Series 70 1911 Colt race gun with a 3.4 lb trigger pull. I love that gun and will never part with it! I think the .45 ACP round will be around forever because it is the closest thing to "perfect", in my opinion. I still love my "Ten", and it is my home defense gun (stoked with Buffalo Bore 180 gr. 1350 fps/728 foot-lbs energy JHP.) I pity any intruder in my home! 😂
I love all my 1911 .45 acp’s , two Springfields(operator full rail/loaded) Cimarron, Llama, and Ruger(Commander) they all shoot good and are reliable …great video Clint
@@MrLucky426 I’m sorry to hear that happened to your Delta, that sucks! My 2 Deltas are the versions with the cut in the slide (which apparently solved that problem). Haven’t put plenty of rounds on them, but a few hundreds of Sig V-Crown 180gr (both JHP and FMJ): They ran perfectly and it’s a pleasure to shoot this babies! I’m in love with my Deltas!
@@eduardovillalon7496 Isn't the cut in the slide rails to keep the frame from cracking? A cracked slide is a different issue. And I don't think the relieved rails on the Gen 2 Delta Elite would have stopped the slide from cracking.
@@tylerwilliams6022 Yes, it was the cut in the slide rails the one I was talking about. Have read about the experience from many others Delta owners, and it seems that as long as you stay away from the very hot boutique 10mm rounds like Buffalo Bore or Underwood, it should be pretty safe to shoot standard original pressure rounds. The Sig V-Crown 10mm in 180gr are not particularly hot rounds, but neither watered down 40 S&W-like ammo: At about 1250 fps & 624 ft/lb, they are strong enough to put some stress on those Delta Elite’s, and mines have managed it perfectly and without any problems.
Whatever you do, don’t buy a Springfield 1911 in 10mm. I sent over 500 rounds through it and I never got more than three in a row before jamming, typically it would jam after every shot
Seriously? I have the TRP operator 5inch model and I’ve put around 930 rounds through it (pre pandemic), with out a single issue. I’ve yet to actually really clean it either. I’m ashamed to say.
The FBI's Swat and HRT teams continued to use the 10mm after it was abandoned for the field agents. The FBI hires a lot of people who aren't...athletic...so they had great difficulty managing the recoil of the 10mm.
I don't think you have to be athletic to handle 10mm. What you shouldn't be is particularly lightweight and/or have small hands. With 1/3 of all field agents being women as of 2022 you might see where the recoil management issues stem from.
My wife shoots her Nighthawk 10mm 1911 with palm swell VZ grips and her hands are small. She finds it easier to hold onto a fatter gun. She has a few Nighthawks and Springfield TRPs in .45 as well. Best Regards
The 10mm is great! The only downside is that most factory ammo is on par with 40sw power. To get the full potential of the 10mm, look to ammo companies like Underwood Ammo and Buffalo Bore or, make your own ammo.
I roll my own 10mm and my loads are hot. I never shot Underwood ammo, but other factory loads are cream puffs. I use 45acp or 9mm calibers for self defense because I would not want to face a jury for using a 10mm.
Great video, and thanks for keepin' stuff in stock; I bought my first handgun from y'all back when I was a law student! I sure would love to see some videos on the .357 Sig and its effectiveness. It seems to me to be the most underrated duty handgun caliber today, but after testing it in gel and through barriers, talking to a good number of LE folks who have actually used it in deadly force incidents, and hunting deer with it, I have switched completely to it for all defensive uses like woods and everyday carry (I have dropped 9mm, 10mm, and .40 completely), and only keep one pistol in .45 for competitions.
I have a SA 1911 TRP in 45 and love it, but I live in Alaska and really wanted to move up to 10mm for 3 reasons. A. Obviously being able to send a 220 hardcast at higher velocity is a huge factor B. 15 or 16 + 1 rounds wins hands down against 7 or 8 + 1. C. Did I mention 15 or 16 + 1 rounds!!!! I was so hoping SA would launch the Prodigy DS in 10mm. A 1911 DS in 10mm that I didn’t need to take a mortgage out on is where it’s at. SA really hit it out of the park with the Hellcat and Hellcat Pro in 9mm. Honestly I thought it a bit foolish to add another 9mm to compete with the Hellcat when everyone is jumping on the 10mm bandwagon right now. Ugh, I so wanted that Prodigy in 10mm! So I just picked up the new XDm 10mm. Very nice piece once you get past the plastic’y handle, and damn, who has hands large enough for the medium handle grip? I wear 2X gloves which are a little tight so I don’t have small hands by any measure, but the medium rear handle grip just makes the gun feel clumsy. Changed out the grip spacer for the small and that grip is awesome. Literally, feels like a whole different gun! I really don’t know who the large spacer grip is intended for, maybe the bear??? Great video as usual 👍🏻
I've never owned a gun since I live in NYC but since things have changed now I can legally own but your video hands down answered all the questions that I had with comparison between the 45mm and the 10mm I think I'm going to go with the 10mm
@rl6173 what does christ have to do with me not being a gun expert but with that being said my hands work perfectly fine since you want to be a Mr. know it all
Great video. Interesting that you did not compare velocities, or comment that the .45 ACP can be purchased with 185 grain bullets which increase it's velocity over the 230 grain bullets. Keep up the good work!
I actually just came from Kentucky ballistics video comparing the two in two different grained hallowed points for each and they weren’t actually that different surprised me
I prefer 45 in a 1911 and heres why. 45 Super. 22lb Wolff spring kit with the included firing pin spring, Flat bottom firing pin stop. $30 is all you need for those 2 items and you can convert your 45 acp to shoot 45 Super. (Id also recommend adding a full-length guide rod, recoil buffer pad and a 25lb mainhousing spring, though these are not needed.) 45 Super has slightly less energy than 10mm (220gr 10mm is about 675ftlbs of energy, 255gr Hard Cast 45 Super puts out 654ftlbs of energy. Though I'd argue that the 255 will keep its energy better and longer not only over distance but through "a medium") but you can also shoot 45 ACP out of that 45 super 1911. No need to change springs. Which means you can practice on the cheap, and then also shoot 45 super out of it back-to-back. No need to change anything about the gun. Can't beat that IMO, and you have much more options on what kind of ammo you want to shoot. 45 super also comes in 185gr to 255gr, and so does 45 acp and +P. Just my 2 cents
For an urban environment, the 45 ACP is best for home defense and personal protection, due to less over penetration liability. For rural and outdoor environments, yeah, the 10mm is more powerful; for large game, particularly. However, again, the 45 ACP performs very well to stop the two-legged predator kind.
Not to mention so called urban environment I want something with a balance of high capacity and overall power. 10mm is perfect for that. Body armor will stop both rounds. But 10mm has the advantage of barrier penetration while maintaining energy. 45 acp already has less energy and with such a slow speed loses energy even quicker. Again assuming we are comparing exact same ammo in each platform
@@AlexM-ej4ph What? So-called "urban environment"?!... Are you pretending to be an operator?.... Maybe you are, an operator of a forklift, that is, but not an expert in firearms.
What exactly is the thing in your house that you think a 10mm is going to penetrate that a .45 isn't? Know your target and what's behind it. Your drywall and siding isn't stopping either. The brick is going to stop both. If you want something for home defense that isn't going to go through your walls you're looking at birdshot. Good luck.
I'm a die hard 1911 in 45 ACP but have really been doing research on the 1911 10mm. And about to get myself one... the problem I have is I'm practical. I don't like to have 100s of different types of ammo. I have a few different styles of 9mm pistols and 45 ACP. Even 357 or 44mag. So I keep coming back to do I need another weapon chambered in a completely different caliber. You make it difficult because it looks like a fun round...lol...Thanks Clint I love your goofy yet seriousness when it comes to Firearms.
I’m a fan of the 1911 in 10mm. I have one, and I love it. Very smooth and flat shooting. Clint, you said buy both the 45 and 10mm. I’m cool with seeing a giveaway. 2 winners 2 calibers!
I just bought a RIA 10mm 1911 Ultra FS over the weekend. I shoot better with her than I do with my Glock G19 Gen 5. I'm a short dude so for instance, flipping the takedown notch when I'm loaded and ready is difficult to reach for my thumb than the G19. I shoot with both hands, my left hand does the aiming and my right hand does the firing. As an extra safety once I got my sights on a target I can disengage my takedown and all I have to do is pull the last safety. Weight it self definitely helps the counter balance as the G19 for me feels as if the slide wants to rips itself off the polymer. This is my first year finally owning a firearm and I wish I had gotten into this a long time ago, but better safe than sorry. Any tips is greatly appreciated and I learn best from constructive criticism.
Just curious what was your MOS? 11B with the 82nd 1st/504th from 04-12 here and than I spent 3 years as a designated defensive marksman for Triple Canopy until moving onto 4GS where I currently work. I remember having two shooters who were Marine Corps CSO’s (not sure if I have the nomenclature correct there) that were part of our QRF and these guys were absolute goliaths in terms of operational professionalism, speed and accuracy of rounds on target and their humbleness to spend their free time helping me improve my fundamentals. All in all I’ve got nothing but love for the Marine Corps
10mm does everything better than 45 ACP except sub-sonic in a suppressor. I had a 45 ACP first, it was actually my first cartridge I bought. Then when I bought a 10mm Auto, I ditched the 45 ACP and never looked back!
I carry a 10mm TRP Operator 5” with a Trijicon RMR Type 2 with a Viridian X5L Gen 3 green laser/light/camera combo loaded with 10 round Cobra mag with Xtreme Penetrators. This is my everyday CCW carry pistol and it carries great. I love it and would never trade it for anything. I recommend to most people to throw out that 45 and get a 10mm. It is a much more versatile cartridge and can load ammo for any occasion.
Own a glock 20, S&W M&P 2.0 10mm, SA XDm 5.25 10mm. I have been considering a 1911 style 10mm to add to my collection, the TISAS is intriguing at that price point CF is offering it at. I would offer that you really need to consider your ammo choice more carefully with whatever gun you select. There is a wide variance in 10mm from stuff that is just barely hotter than .40 at just over 1000 FPS on up to your Underwood and Buffalo Bore running in the 1400+ FPS range. You may want to give some of the really hot stuff from companies like Underwood a pass depending on your choice of weapon. For instance, Colt Delta Elite is supposedly one that you want to be careful of. I have no knowledge myself, just have read reviews. What are your thoughts on Revolvers in 10mm?
I’ve never had a problem with my Delta Elite and any of the hotter 10mm ammo except for the recoil being a bit brisk. I own several 10mm’s, the Delta, a SA Ronin, a Glock 20, a 6” Girsan 1911, a XD-M Elite 4.5”, a Ruger GP100 3”, and a S&W 610 4”. The GP100 and the 610 are serious pieces and I carry them regularly.
5 years ago I decided to buy a 1911. After some research, I discovered that Kimber made a 1911 in 10mm and I knew I had to have it. So I bought a Kimber Eclipse Custom in 10mm.
I like them both. I do appreciate the power of the 10mm slightly more than the 45 ACP. I have three 10mm pistols a Kimber Rapide, a Sig Sauer P220 SAO, and a Girsan MC 1911 S (the Hunter). These are all metal frame pistols. I have avoided the polymer frame 10mms due to recoil concerns. However, I will be adding a Sig Sauer P320 XTen in six weeks after it’s is approved by the Maryland Handgun Roster Board.
@@reekz8089 I would try one. Most good commercial ranges have pistols for rent. For example range that I am a member at has a Glock 40 10mm available for rent. It’s Glock’s largest 10mm with a 6” barrel. My Sig Sauer P320 XTen shoots a little harsh. I added a large laser/flashlight combo to the pic rail. I have not tried it yet but i would imagine it helps
@@nicholasbonanno2498 I don’t like the cost. I am interested in getting a DS 1911 10mm. I have my eye on a Girsan 2311, 5” optics ready. At present, the 10mm pistols I have the Kimber Rapide, an FN 510 and a Glock 20. The P320 X10 was very snappy even with a weapon mounted light.
Just when 10MM is finally coming onto its own, there is one on the horizon which threatens to dethrone it. As far back as the late 1800's, Mauser tried to introduce "Rifle ballistics" Into pistols. The 7.65MM "Broom handle" And the Russian Tokarov were early attempts to bring rifle ballistics to pistols. The round nose bullets had then "Ice picking" Mauser solved this problem in rifles by introducing the Speer point bullet. Terminal ballistcs was a side effect for the purpose of the pointed bullet was ballistic coefficient. This is probably why the 7.65 pistol rounds never recied the pointed bullet which might have saved the "RBP" Rifle ballistic pistol concept. Today, we have the 7.5 BRNO which is the major caliber "RBP" To the 5.7 being the new minot caliber RBP. No sooner will everyone have their 10's, the 7.5 will become the new 10MM
I have become a 10mm believer. I will always like the .45, but I like the firepower of the 10mm more. I have an Iver Johnson Eagle XL 6-inch model, and it shoots like a Swiss watch tells time!
I just bought the same gun, Iver Johnson 1911 in 10mm, too! Its still pretty new, but so far its been a super fun range gun! I stubbled onto it bc I loved my friends 1911. And i also loved my brothers glock 20, 10mm. But i preferred the 1911 platform. Its like the perfect marriage for me. Enjoy!
I have shot the 1911 in 10mm. I own a few RIA, Colt, Dan Wesson all in .45 and love shooting them. To be honest (in my opinion) I can't tell the difference between them as far as 10mm vs .45 concerning performance and recoil. Currently I do not own any 10mm firearms but that is subject to change at anytime. I do own other 1911's in other calibers .22, 9mm, .40
In his book "Fighting handguns" The later Colonel Cooper, who was a strong advocate of the .45 ACP condemned the Army Brass for insisting the .45 ACP replicate the ballistics of the .45 Scofield, not the .45 Long Colt. As far back as the 1950's, Colonel Cooper decried the downloaded government spec 230 hardball calling for what was then called the "Super X" Load. Today, we would call it "+P" Where the 230 grain hardball is launched to 965 FPS. Coopers choice for defensive loads was the Keith Bullet, a 200 grain lead semi wadcutter loaded to 965 FPS. He would later eschew JHP's in favor of the 230 grain Truncated cone bullet. Hatcher was right all along! He concluded that a non expanding bullet needed to be at least .45 caliber.
Idon't own any 1911s right now. I have a Glock 21. I would never give it up. I love the way it shoots. I don't have anything in 10mm,yet. I have been looking at a few lately, but i Haven't decided on anything as of now. I will buy one one day. I'm working on a couple of other projects right now.
Have a Sig TacOps in 10mm and it's my favorite pistol of the dozen or so I shoot and maintain. It's a fearsome round but the gun, being pretty heavy anyway, really shoots smooth, with comfortable recoil, and it's easy to get back on target after each shot. I've never had a failure on it after years of use and a few thousand rounds with the biggest drawback being the price point and availability of 10mm ammo from month to month
I love them both and I was on the 10mm bandwagon back in the 80s when it first came out and it was hard to find ammo or firearms that could handle the load, but I've always loved 10mm
Love the .45 ACP, especially in my own reloads. I do carry Sierra Outdoors hollowpoints as a carry round, cause you have to do factory, but my handloads do shoot nice. I have actually been watching for a Rock Island 10mm for a while and nearly jumped a couple times. Still thinking maybe. ;)
I'm not saying anything new here but Kimber, Dan Wesson, Springfield, Colt, Remington, Ruger, Rock Island, and Sig Sauer to name a few have been making 1911 10mms for years. I'll admit that I don't know much about Tisas so I'm not going to criticize them.
For bear defense get a .460 Rowland kit for the 1911 255 gr at 1300 velocity . I does have to have a compensator on it unless its a long slide. With the comp its about like a 45 acp for recoil.
I have several 10mm pistols. My current favorites are a Kimber 1911 and a Glock 40. I really like the looks of the Tisas. Might have to add that to my 10mm family! On an ammo note, Fiocchi has a newer line of ammo called Defense Dynamics, and they have a 180gr hollow point load in 10mm with a listed velocity of 1260fps. I haven’t chronographed it yet, but will shortly.
my first 1911 I own (shot one in boot camp @ Edson Range in 1983) is 10mm. Strong enough for coyotes and feral hogs. I now have a GI issue 1911 for nostalgia reasons, but I do prefer the 10mm for practical use.
And the search for people who know that .357 Magnum also failed to stop a guy the same as 9mm did continues. The FBI Miami shootout is so misunderstood even after all these years.
10mmBESTmm! Got my Kriss Vector SDP in 10mm and the Glockzilla G40 to share mags with it! Both tame the 10mil beautifully. Although I could use a 1911 chambered in 10
According to official reports, 9mm and 10mm have the same success rate against bears. There is very little difference in terminal ballistics and “stopping power” between 9mm and 10mm.
My Tisas D10 10mm is on its way back to SDS Imports because even after a 300 round break-in, it couldn't get through a single mag (factory, Wilson, and Tripp) without choking hard on factory ammo. Even using the same load you shot in the video. I guess you roll the dice with these Turkish guns.
Meanwhile I'm still waiting for a company to make a double stack (14/15) modern 1911 that's as ergonomic on the frame as possible... Like the Remington R1 Enhanced Double Stack, but not them since they clearly stopped 😢
I bought the Ruger SR1911 in 45, love it use it every deer season for tracking & bear repellent. About 1 year later after I bought it Ruger came out with the full size 10mm with bull barrel and I've wanted to get one since then
@@CCH-R A RugerSR1911 45ACP was my first ever 1911. I regretfully sold it to pick up a West German Sig P228. I feel it's one of the best 1911s around. There are a bunch of different SR1911 versions to fit anyone's bill. Lightweight Commanders, adj. sight bull barrel 10mm, Officer sized carry models. Through a certain distributor you can even get a black model SR1911 45ACP with a light rail. The standard SR1911s don't have light rails, which is fine by me. But even though it is more rare, there is a light rail model. If you've been contemplating an SR1911, snag one. You won't be disappointed!
Only 40/45/10mm I’m trusting is Glock 😭but better off properly loaded 9/40 overall only keep HP in factory mags, JSP/FMJ/Woods in coordinated extendeds for vehicles/barriers, 9/40 also more likely to be on ☠️BG/Friendly
S&B 10mm is like 1000 FPS on a hot day, should be like 1300 fps for a 180 grain and then you would have had a different opinion on the 10mm recoil. This is the problem when comparing 10mm to 45, 45 is already loaded "hot" while the 10mm is often downloaded to 40S&W levels. Get some full power loads and its like having a different gun. Also, Underwood 155 xtp are something I recommend you experience.
Have (4) 10MM Guns cause I love the snap vs a .45....have plenty of those too....I enjoy the Kimber Eclipse 11, and a Glock 20SF...a Ruger Match Champion & a S & W 610...both 4" guns. Love the triggers after I've improved them as well. What can I say....wish the ammo was cheaper than a .45, but I like the better speed, trajectory and punch of the 10MM.
Full size 10mm is fine. Canceled carry .45 has worked for over 100 years and is not as snappy in a small weapon. People forget a 1848 colt Dragoon revolver will still stop issues just as well now and it did when it first came out.
45 ACP can use lead bullets, is very accurate at 25 and 50 yds, brass NEVER needs trimming and ammunition is plentiful. It is very effective as a killer. To attempt to stop a Grizzly bear, a 10 is fine. If you reload, you can shoot lead bullets and 5 gr of Bullseye costs about $4 a box.
Awe come on man,you should've shown us you putting one of them back together again. Lord knows I hated putting my 1911 back together,it did not want to cooperate with me.
Happy that 10mm is becoming more mainstream
Now if we can get manufacturers to load 10mm instead of extra pricey 40 I'd be happy.
One of them is chambered in The Lord's Caliber, the other is chambered in Fallout's caliber.

One is barely a rolling ball and one has balls.
@@ronmatson5502 zzz
10mm > .45ACP The only advantage the .45acp has is that ALL ammo is subsonic. Easy to suppress, but so is my 9mm and I’d rather smack dat booty with the 10mm that’s got a compensator on the end like my XDM OSP 10mm. That’s my self defense/hunting/combat handgun of choice, wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s all cause of the BEST millimeter 10/10.

I carry a revolver because 357 is even better.
Cheaper to shoot??? Umm Idk whats changed and when, but looking up ammo, 10mm is about 35-45 cents/rd where everything Ive found of 4acp is double that.
I'm a 45ACP guy. I recently acquired a TISAS Bantam Bobtail Commander. The factory trigger was sandpaper. A few passes with a fine stone on the Sear jig from Brownells turned it into a dream. It's as good as my Kimber and S&W bobtail carry guns.
I love the ergonomics of a 1911. I prefer the 10 mm. It is a much flatter shooting round. Has a wider selection of ammunition all the way from 90 gain to 220.great for self-defense,and hunting
Clint i have to say honestly that you are one of the most enjoyable if not the most enjoyable TH-camr ever. I love your sense of humor and that you are always smiling.if I ever own a 1911 it's going to be in 10mm. God bless. Take care.
TRULY beautiful. I love the 1911. Glad to see this iteration in 10mm.
It's just awesome to me that the 1911 is still seeing the use that it is. Aged like wine while I age like Go Gurt
I bought my Colt Delta Elite 10mm 1911 back in 1987. The 10mm was still brand new, and the only ammo for it was rip-roaring full-power Norma ammo. The first time I fired it I loved it. 10mm is a great caliber.
However ... I also own a Mars-modified Series 70 1911 Colt race gun with a 3.4 lb trigger pull. I love that gun and will never part with it! I think the .45 ACP round will be around forever because it is the closest thing to "perfect", in my opinion. I still love my "Ten", and it is my home defense gun (stoked with Buffalo Bore 180 gr. 1350 fps/728 foot-lbs energy JHP.) I pity any intruder in my home!
😂
The 1911 has been around 111 years now, very cool.
That's crazy to think about. The frame of mine is from 1913 and the rest is from '43

@@DinoNucci no, he's right. 1911+111= 2022. The original 1911 began manufacturing in the year 1911, but the 1911A1 wasn't designed until 1924.

I bought the Magnum research 1911 yesterday, I'm impressed by how smooth it is by being a brand new 1911.
The magnum research and bul armory 1911’s off good value and great performance. Some of the best triggers.
I love all my 1911 .45 acp’s , two Springfields(operator full rail/loaded) Cimarron, Llama, and Ruger(Commander) they all shoot good and are reliable …great video Clint
Love the 10mm! Currently own 2 Colt Delta’s and 1 Colt Double Eagle MKII in 10mm. Absolutely gorgeous!
Do you shoot full power 10mm loads out of the Delta or neutered 10mm lite/40sw loads? I loved my Delta until the slide cracked....🤬
I AM JEALOUS.
@@MrLucky426 I’m sorry to hear that happened to your Delta, that sucks! My 2 Deltas are the versions with the cut in the slide (which apparently solved that problem). Haven’t put plenty of rounds on them, but a few hundreds of Sig V-Crown 180gr (both JHP and FMJ): They ran perfectly and it’s a pleasure to shoot this babies! I’m in love with my Deltas!
@@eduardovillalon7496
Isn't the cut in the slide rails to keep the frame from cracking?
A cracked slide is a different issue.
And I don't think the relieved rails on the Gen 2 Delta Elite would have stopped the slide from cracking.
@@tylerwilliams6022 Yes, it was the cut in the slide rails the one I was talking about. Have read about the experience from many others Delta owners, and it seems that as long as you stay away from the very hot boutique 10mm rounds like Buffalo Bore or Underwood, it should be pretty safe to shoot standard original pressure rounds. The Sig V-Crown 10mm in 180gr are not particularly hot rounds, but neither watered down 40 S&W-like ammo: At about 1250 fps & 624 ft/lb, they are strong enough to put some stress on those Delta Elite’s, and mines have managed it perfectly and without any problems.
I recently bought the tisas 10mm 1911 and love it. Very accurate and smooth. I also own a glock 20 which I love as well.
Whatever you do, don’t buy a Springfield 1911 in 10mm. I sent over 500 rounds through it and I never got more than three in a row before jamming, typically it would jam after every shot
Had the same issue. I put a 23lb recoil spring. Runs flawless now. Try a heavier spring than the factory. Might work for you.
Seriously? I have the TRP operator 5inch model and I’ve put around 930 rounds through it (pre pandemic), with out a single issue. I’ve yet to actually really clean it either. I’m ashamed to say.
What!!!!!why didn't u call Springfield and send it back to them so they can fix the issue
@@TheRealZJE313 nah I just got rid of the gun, too much of a hassle
I just bought the 10mm ronin and it’s never jammed up on me
10mm the best handgun caliber
Thats because 10 is perfect in every scenario
In the real world, the debate on the best caliber will never end.
The FBI's Swat and HRT teams continued to use the 10mm after it was abandoned for the field agents. The FBI hires a lot of people who aren't...athletic...so they had great difficulty managing the recoil of the 10mm.
I don't think you have to be athletic to handle 10mm. What you shouldn't be is particularly lightweight and/or have small hands. With 1/3 of all field agents being women as of 2022 you might see where the recoil management issues stem from.
My wife shoots her Nighthawk 10mm 1911 with palm swell VZ grips and her hands are small. She finds it easier to hold onto a fatter gun. She has a few Nighthawks and Springfield TRPs in .45 as well. Best Regards

40 is the correct answer vs human sized questions
@@DinoNucci not a .40 fan at all 10mm allday

10mm Great home defense gun
As long as you don't mind holes in the walls after holes in the intruder 😂
The 10mm is great! The only downside is that most factory ammo is on par with 40sw power. To get the full potential of the 10mm, look to ammo companies like Underwood Ammo and Buffalo Bore or, make your own ammo.
I roll my own 10mm and my loads are hot. I never shot Underwood ammo, but other factory loads are cream puffs. I use 45acp or 9mm calibers for self defense because I would not want to face a jury for using a 10mm.
Great video, and thanks for keepin' stuff in stock; I bought my first handgun from y'all back when I was a law student! I sure would love to see some videos on the .357 Sig and its effectiveness. It seems to me to be the most underrated duty handgun caliber today, but after testing it in gel and through barriers, talking to a good number of LE folks who have actually used it in deadly force incidents, and hunting deer with it, I have switched completely to it for all defensive uses like woods and everyday carry (I have dropped 9mm, 10mm, and .40 completely), and only keep one pistol in .45 for competitions.
45 does it for me and has enough power for my needs with a 1911. 10mm is harder to find and spendy.
I have a SA 1911 TRP in 45 and love it, but I live in Alaska and really wanted to move up to 10mm for 3 reasons.
A. Obviously being able to send a 220 hardcast at higher velocity is a huge factor
B. 15 or 16 + 1 rounds wins hands down against 7 or 8 + 1.
C. Did I mention 15 or 16 + 1 rounds!!!!
I was so hoping SA would launch the Prodigy DS in 10mm. A 1911 DS in 10mm that I didn’t need to take a mortgage out on is where it’s at. SA really hit it out of the park with the Hellcat and Hellcat Pro in 9mm. Honestly I thought it a bit foolish to add another 9mm to compete with the Hellcat when everyone is jumping on the 10mm bandwagon right now. Ugh, I so wanted that Prodigy in 10mm!
So I just picked up the new XDm 10mm. Very nice piece once you get past the plastic’y handle, and damn, who has hands large enough for the medium handle grip? I wear 2X gloves which are a little tight so I don’t have small hands by any measure, but the medium rear handle grip just makes the gun feel clumsy. Changed out the grip spacer for the small and that grip is awesome. Literally, feels like a whole different gun! I really don’t know who the large spacer grip is intended for, maybe the bear???
Great video as usual 👍🏻
You’re comparing a Glock 20 to a 1911. Um…Glock 21????

Great video. Interesting that you did not compare velocities, or comment that the .45 ACP can be purchased with 185 grain bullets which increase it's velocity over the 230 grain bullets. Keep up the good work!
And 45 super ammo
I actually just came from Kentucky ballistics video comparing the two in two different grained hallowed points for each and they weren’t actually that different surprised me
Tanfoglio always seems to get overlooked but they're the most accurate 10mm pistols I own.
RIP James Yeager !
I prefer 45 in a 1911 and heres why. 45 Super. 22lb Wolff spring kit with the included firing pin spring, Flat bottom firing pin stop. $30 is all you need for those 2 items and you can convert your 45 acp to shoot 45 Super. (Id also recommend adding a full-length guide rod, recoil buffer pad and a 25lb mainhousing spring, though these are not needed.)
45 Super has slightly less energy than 10mm (220gr 10mm is about 675ftlbs of energy, 255gr Hard Cast 45 Super puts out 654ftlbs of energy. Though I'd argue that the 255 will keep its energy better and longer not only over distance but through "a medium") but you can also shoot 45 ACP out of that 45 super 1911. No need to change springs. Which means you can practice on the cheap, and then also shoot 45 super out of it back-to-back. No need to change anything about the gun. Can't beat that IMO, and you have much more options on what kind of ammo you want to shoot. 45 super also comes in 185gr to 255gr, and so does 45 acp and +P.
Just my 2 cents
Same for the 10, both need handholding for best results
For my classic 1911 I wouldn't want anything but 45acp. For a nice fun 1911, I'd love a 10mm.
You should compare 10mm to 45 Super/450 SMC and Rowland 460.
For an urban environment, the 45 ACP is best for home defense and personal protection, due to less over penetration liability. For rural and outdoor environments, yeah, the 10mm is more powerful; for large game, particularly. However, again, the 45 ACP performs very well to stop the two-legged predator kind.
Over penatration is a myth made up by shallow women! .......lmao!
@@justanotherinternetexpert7743 "penatration" is a myth, alright.
Not to mention so called urban environment I want something with a balance of high capacity and overall power. 10mm is perfect for that. Body armor will stop both rounds. But 10mm has the advantage of barrier penetration while maintaining energy. 45 acp already has less energy and with such a slow speed loses energy even quicker. Again assuming we are comparing exact same ammo in each platform
@@AlexM-ej4ph What? So-called "urban environment"?!... Are you pretending to be an operator?.... Maybe you are, an operator of a forklift, that is, but not an expert in firearms.
What exactly is the thing in your house that you think a 10mm is going to penetrate that a .45 isn't?
Know your target and what's behind it. Your drywall and siding isn't stopping either. The brick is going to stop both. If you want something for home defense that isn't going to go through your walls you're looking at birdshot. Good luck.
I'm a die hard 1911 in 45 ACP but have really been doing research on the 1911 10mm. And about to get myself one... the problem I have is I'm practical. I don't like to have 100s of different types of ammo. I have a few different styles of 9mm pistols and 45 ACP. Even 357 or 44mag. So I keep coming back to do I need another weapon chambered in a completely different caliber. You make it difficult because it looks like a fun round...lol...Thanks Clint I love your goofy yet seriousness when it comes to Firearms.
I’m a fan of the 1911 in 10mm. I have one, and I love it. Very smooth and flat shooting. Clint, you said buy both the 45 and 10mm. I’m cool with seeing a giveaway. 2 winners 2 calibers!
No you dont
Ahhhh, 10mm, the caliber that makes .45 ACP, .40 S&W, .357 magnum, and full/duty sized 9mm pistols obsolete
.40 S&W came *after* 10mm, but I like your energy.
Until you realize that there is very little difference in terminal ballistics between 9mm and 10mm.
@@Frenchfrys17 do people hunt bear with 9mm?

I just bought a RIA 10mm 1911 Ultra FS over the weekend. I shoot better with her than I do with my Glock G19 Gen 5. I'm a short dude so for instance, flipping the takedown notch when I'm loaded and ready is difficult to reach for my thumb than the G19. I shoot with both hands, my left hand does the aiming and my right hand does the firing. As an extra safety once I got my sights on a target I can disengage my takedown and all I have to do is pull the last safety. Weight it self definitely helps the counter balance as the G19 for me feels as if the slide wants to rips itself off the polymer.
This is my first year finally owning a firearm and I wish I had gotten into this a long time ago, but better safe than sorry.
Any tips is greatly appreciated and I learn best from constructive criticism.
Just curious what was your MOS? 11B with the 82nd 1st/504th from 04-12 here and than I spent 3 years as a designated defensive marksman for Triple Canopy until moving onto 4GS where I currently work. I remember having two shooters who were Marine Corps CSO’s (not sure if I have the nomenclature correct there) that were part of our QRF and these guys were absolute goliaths in terms of operational professionalism, speed and accuracy of rounds on target and their humbleness to spend their free time helping me improve my fundamentals. All in all I’ve got nothing but love for the Marine Corps
Just picked up a Kimber Rapide Scorpius in 10mm . Love it Zero issues so far
10mm does everything better than 45 ACP except sub-sonic in a suppressor. I had a 45 ACP first, it was actually my first cartridge I bought. Then when I bought a 10mm Auto, I ditched the 45 ACP and never looked back!
I carry a 10mm TRP Operator 5” with a Trijicon RMR Type 2 with a Viridian X5L Gen 3 green laser/light/camera combo loaded with 10 round Cobra mag with Xtreme Penetrators. This is my everyday CCW carry pistol and it carries great. I love it and would never trade it for anything. I recommend to most people to throw out that 45 and get a 10mm. It is a much more versatile cartridge and can load ammo for any occasion.

Own a glock 20, S&W M&P 2.0 10mm, SA XDm 5.25 10mm. I have been considering a 1911 style 10mm to add to my collection, the TISAS is intriguing at that price point CF is offering it at. I would offer that you really need to consider your ammo choice more carefully with whatever gun you select. There is a wide variance in 10mm from stuff that is just barely hotter than .40 at just over 1000 FPS on up to your Underwood and Buffalo Bore running in the 1400+ FPS range. You may want to give some of the really hot stuff from companies like Underwood a pass depending on your choice of weapon. For instance, Colt Delta Elite is supposedly one that you want to be careful of. I have no knowledge myself, just have read reviews. What are your thoughts on Revolvers in 10mm?
Love the G20. I want the S&W 610 with a 4in barrel. I think it might be the best 10 mm you can get.
Rock Island Armory Rock, Tac, and Pro Ultra HC is what I'm looking into 16rds of 10mm gonna run buffalo bore ammo thru them.😊
I’ve never had a problem with my Delta Elite and any of the hotter 10mm ammo except for the recoil being a bit brisk. I own several 10mm’s, the Delta, a SA Ronin, a Glock 20, a 6” Girsan 1911, a XD-M Elite 4.5”, a Ruger GP100 3”, and a S&W 610 4”. The GP100 and the 610 are serious pieces and I carry them regularly.
That mustache makes you look like an 80ties villain!
5 years ago I decided to buy a 1911. After some research, I discovered that Kimber made a 1911 in 10mm and I knew I had to have it. So I bought a Kimber Eclipse Custom in 10mm.
I prefer the 45 myself. I gotta say them TISAS 1911s are pretty sweet.
I like them both. I do appreciate the power of the 10mm slightly more than the 45 ACP. I have three 10mm pistols a Kimber Rapide, a Sig Sauer P220 SAO, and a Girsan MC 1911 S (the Hunter). These are all metal frame pistols. I have avoided the polymer frame 10mms due to recoil concerns. However, I will be adding a Sig Sauer P320 XTen in six weeks after it’s is approved by the Maryland Handgun Roster Board.
I got the sig sauer p220 and I love it. I never fired a 10mm so I don’t know but I’ll be getting one. What the heck, I love guns. Aloha
@@reekz8089 I would try one. Most good commercial ranges have pistols for rent. For example range that I am a member at has a Glock 40 10mm available for rent. It’s Glock’s largest 10mm with a 6” barrel. My Sig Sauer P320 XTen shoots a little harsh. I added a large laser/flashlight combo to the pic rail. I have not tried it yet but i would imagine it helps
How do you like the rapide in 10mm? Im very close to purchasing one just trying to do as much research as possible. Anything you don’t like about it?
@@nicholasbonanno2498 I don’t like the cost. I am interested in getting a DS 1911 10mm. I have my eye on a Girsan 2311, 5” optics ready. At present, the 10mm pistols I have the Kimber Rapide, an FN 510 and a Glock 20. The P320 X10 was very snappy even with a weapon mounted light.
The Rapide is a work of art with exceptional sights.
Just when 10MM is finally coming onto its own, there is one on the horizon which threatens to dethrone it. As far back as the late 1800's, Mauser tried to introduce "Rifle ballistics" Into pistols. The 7.65MM "Broom handle" And the Russian Tokarov were early attempts to bring rifle ballistics to pistols. The round nose bullets had then "Ice picking" Mauser solved this problem in rifles by introducing the Speer point bullet. Terminal ballistcs was a side effect for the purpose of the pointed bullet was ballistic coefficient. This is probably why the 7.65 pistol rounds never recied the pointed bullet which might have saved the "RBP" Rifle ballistic pistol concept. Today, we have the 7.5 BRNO which is the major caliber "RBP" To the 5.7 being the new minot caliber RBP. No sooner will everyone have their 10's, the 7.5 will become the new 10MM
I have become a 10mm believer. I will always like the .45, but I like the firepower of the 10mm more. I have an Iver Johnson Eagle XL 6-inch model, and it shoots like a Swiss watch tells time!
I just bought the same gun, Iver Johnson 1911 in 10mm, too! Its still pretty new, but so far its been a super fun range gun! I stubbled onto it bc I loved my friends 1911. And i also loved my brothers glock 20, 10mm. But i preferred the 1911 platform. Its like the perfect marriage for me. Enjoy!
That D10 is seriously impressive for the price point for it's features. It's really punching hard above it's price point
10mm is 👑!!!
Even better...get a 45 and convert it to 460 rowland. Way more powerful than 10mm. I love mine.
While true, I personally find that too far down the road of diminishing returns. If I need more power than 10mm I reach for a rifle.
I have shot the 1911 in 10mm. I own a few RIA, Colt, Dan Wesson all in .45 and love shooting them. To be honest (in my opinion) I can't tell the difference between them as far as 10mm vs .45 concerning performance and recoil. Currently I do not own any 10mm firearms but that is subject to change at anytime. I do own other 1911's in other calibers .22, 9mm, .40
In his book "Fighting handguns" The later Colonel Cooper, who was a strong advocate of the .45 ACP condemned the Army Brass for insisting the .45 ACP replicate the ballistics of the .45 Scofield, not the .45 Long Colt. As far back as the 1950's, Colonel Cooper decried the downloaded government spec 230 hardball calling for what was then called the "Super X" Load. Today, we would call it "+P" Where the 230 grain hardball is launched to 965 FPS. Coopers choice for defensive loads was the Keith Bullet, a 200 grain lead semi wadcutter loaded to 965 FPS. He would later eschew JHP's in favor of the 230 grain Truncated cone bullet. Hatcher was right all along! He concluded that a non expanding bullet needed to be at least .45 caliber.
Idon't own any 1911s right now. I have a Glock 21. I would never give it up. I love the way it shoots. I don't have anything in 10mm,yet. I have been looking at a few lately, but i Haven't decided on anything as of now. I will buy one one day. I'm working on a couple of other projects right now.
Have a Sig TacOps in 10mm and it's my favorite pistol of the dozen or so I shoot and maintain. It's a fearsome round but the gun, being pretty heavy anyway, really shoots smooth, with comfortable recoil, and it's easy to get back on target after each shot. I've never had a failure on it after years of use and a few thousand rounds with the biggest drawback being the price point and availability of 10mm ammo from month to month
I love them both and I was on the 10mm bandwagon back in the 80s when it first came out and it was hard to find ammo or firearms that could handle the load, but I've always loved 10mm
I own a double stack Rock Island 10mm 1911 ("2011"?) and it's waaaaay better than the price point depicts. Absolute unit.
Good video. All my 1911's are 5" government sized in .45 acp. My EDC is a SA 5" Mil-Spec in .45 acp. These work for me, your mileage may vary. Thanks.
The mustache is the spiciest thing in this video......
Love the .45 ACP, especially in my own reloads. I do carry Sierra Outdoors hollowpoints as a carry round, cause you have to do factory, but my handloads do shoot nice. I have actually been watching for a Rock Island 10mm for a while and nearly jumped a couple times. Still thinking maybe. ;)
Well I can at least say that Rock Island's .45 is perfect. So I don't think you can go wrong with their 10mm version.
I'm not saying anything new here but Kimber, Dan Wesson, Springfield, Colt, Remington, Ruger, Rock Island, and Sig Sauer to name a few have been making 1911 10mms for years. I'll admit that I don't know much about Tisas so I'm not going to criticize them.
Yea I agree as well as some tournament manufacturers.
For bear defense get a .460 Rowland kit for the 1911 255 gr at 1300 velocity . I does have to have a compensator on it unless its a long slide. With the comp its about like a 45 acp for recoil.
I just bought a my first 1911 in 45 acp. I see a future where I own a 9mm a 45 and a 10mm.
Clint got the magum pi look going well alright alright 👍
I have several 10mm pistols. My current favorites are a Kimber 1911 and a Glock 40. I really like the looks of the Tisas. Might have to add that to my 10mm family! On an ammo note, Fiocchi has a newer line of ammo called Defense Dynamics, and they have a 180gr hollow point load in 10mm with a listed velocity of 1260fps. I haven’t chronographed it yet, but will shortly.
How about the S&W 2.0 M&P10 ?
Very fast shooting but "fast is fine, accuracy is final" and you can't miss fast enough to win a competition or a gun fight.
I just bought a full-size 10mm 1911. Sweet sweet goodness. Need more compact 10mm 1911s on the market.
I am running a kimber 1911 in 10mm, runs flawlessly. 10mm is just a more powerful round than the .45 and in the back country I want the hotter round.
my first 1911 I own (shot one in boot camp @ Edson Range in 1983) is 10mm. Strong enough for coyotes and feral hogs. I now have a GI issue 1911 for nostalgia reasons, but I do prefer the 10mm for practical use.
The search for a 10mm video that doesn’t talk about the FBI continues
And the search for people who know that .357 Magnum also failed to stop a guy the same as 9mm did continues.
The FBI Miami shootout is so misunderstood even after all these years.

My Tisas D10 10mm is on its way back to SDS Imports because even after a 300 round break-in, it couldn't get through a single mag (factory, Wilson, and Tripp) without choking hard on factory ammo. Even using the same load you shot in the video. I guess you roll the dice with these Turkish guns.

I like the 10mm. But it's almost sacrilegious to have a 1911 in anything but 45.
The 10mm makes the 1911 tolerable.
I feel 38 Super is an acceptable chambering.
I can't bear to get one in 9mm though.
I figure if you want a 9mm 1911, just get a Hi Power.
Yup… that’s what topped me off at 3:48 am in 2018! So I had to go with Team Glock.
I was also hooked on Glock through 10mm. I wanted a 10mm carry gun and back then only the G29 fit the bill.
Meanwhile I'm still waiting for a company to make a double stack (14/15) modern 1911 that's as ergonomic on the frame as possible...
Like the Remington R1 Enhanced Double Stack, but not them since they clearly stopped 😢

The 10mm is a great caliber, but I would still take the 45 especially since I have a 45 super that can run both 45 acp an 45 super.

The 45 just works even with smaller then average hands. I've put 230 grain fmj in about a 6 inch circle at 20 yards pretty easy

A RugerSR1911 45ACP was my first ever 1911. I regretfully sold it to pick up a West German Sig P228.
I feel it's one of the best 1911s around.
There are a bunch of different SR1911 versions to fit anyone's bill.
Lightweight Commanders, adj. sight bull barrel 10mm, Officer sized carry models.
Through a certain distributor you can even get a black model SR1911 45ACP with a light rail.
The standard SR1911s don't have light rails, which is fine by me. But even though it is more rare, there is a light rail model.
If you've been contemplating an SR1911, snag one. You won't be disappointed!
Only 40/45/10mm I’m trusting is Glock 😭but better off properly loaded 9/40 overall only keep HP in factory mags, JSP/FMJ/Woods in coordinated extendeds for vehicles/barriers, 9/40 also more likely to be on ☠️BG/Friendly
I have a SIG TACOPS 1911 in 10mm. I love it, and have never had any issues with it at all.
S&B 10mm is like 1000 FPS on a hot day, should be like 1300 fps for a 180 grain and then you would have had a different opinion on the 10mm recoil. This is the problem when comparing 10mm to 45, 45 is already loaded "hot" while the 10mm is often downloaded to 40S&W levels. Get some full power loads and its like having a different gun. Also, Underwood 155 xtp are something I recommend you experience.
S&B is usually loaded around 1150FPS for 10mm. Armscor is the pretty much .40 at 1000fps
I carry 10mm because they don't make 11mm
Nyet. 45 Super!
Got a Springfield 1911 operator TRP in 10mm and love it
Have (4) 10MM Guns cause I love the snap vs a .45....have plenty of those too....I enjoy the Kimber Eclipse 11, and a Glock 20SF...a Ruger Match Champion & a S & W 610...both 4" guns. Love the triggers after I've improved them as well. What can I say....wish the ammo was cheaper than a .45, but I like the better speed, trajectory and punch of the 10MM.
Full size 10mm is fine. Canceled carry .45 has worked for over 100 years and is not as snappy in a small weapon. People forget a 1848 colt Dragoon revolver will still stop issues just as well now and it did when it first came out.
Once all the layaways are paid off at the LGS I'll have a 9mm, 10mm, and .45acp 5" 1911 pistols.
Both.
Great video
45 ACP can use lead bullets, is very accurate at 25 and 50 yds, brass NEVER needs trimming and ammunition is plentiful. It is very effective as a killer. To attempt to stop a Grizzly bear, a 10 is fine. If you reload, you can shoot lead bullets and 5 gr of Bullseye costs about $4 a box.
Finally some 10mm love!
Awe come on man,you should've shown us you putting one of them back together again. Lord knows I hated putting my 1911 back together,it did not want to cooperate with me.
Prefer a kimber or Wilson combat
10MM all day everyday Best MM is the 10MM
