10mm 1911's that can handle full power ammo

[proudpirate]

So I've decided to step up to 10mm in the 1911 platform. I've been reading a lot about how some 1911's chambered in 10mm do not have a fully supported chamber and that using full power ammo is can be very bad. For example the Colt Delta Elite, which I was really set on buying until I heard about the lack of chamber support. I intend to shoot full power 10mm ammo instead the weak "FBI load" ammo. So I have found myself looking at other brands. So I figured I would reach out to y'all to get your thoughts and suggestions. Who here has experience with 10mm 1911's and what are your suggestions? Thank you.

I had a Colt Delta and sold it, it was real finicky on what ammo would feed properly and my handloads would not reliably feed. You can check out the Springfield Armory TRP in 10mm. I think that one has a fully supported chamber but I’m not positive on that.

RIA 10mm or Ruger SR1911 10mm. While both need a few rounds for break in they both work very well. RIA gets the win for price and Ruger gets it for fit and finish. Sure like the RIA but the Ruger is a better firearm in all regards except price. Have not found any ammo either one does not like.

A full length guide rod, Wilson Shok-Buffs, and a Wolff 22-24 pound recoil spring do wonders for controllability and durability when shooting full power 10mm ammunition in a 1911.

The early Colt Delta Elites with the very hot Norma Factory Ammunition would beat themselves to death (cracked frames, etc.). Wilson Combat used to sell a kit with the above items specifically for 10mm 1911s.

Just my .02,

otherwise I'd probably look at the Ruger

The Ruger has the advantage that it's a Series 70 design. That's why I'd take the Ruger over a current generation Colt Delta. I've fired the Norma 10mm 180gr JHP ammo in a Glock 20; I did NOT shoot it in my Gen 1 Colt Delta.....
There are also some 10mm 1911 longslides out there, but the prices are .....discouraging.....
