[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1905021, member: 94491"] mine is the 52000-- double stack 16rd, match bull barrel--at first, I had some feeding issues with the 200gr WFN bullets from montanna, I tweaked the feed lips and it fixed the issues .. once I started in with the reloads it was throwing brass FAR-- so I added the oversize (square edge) firing pin stop, heavy slide spring and the heavier hammer/main spring -- that helped not only with recoil but it slows the timing just a bit for slightly increased speeds and doesnt toss the brass near as far--- I then saw some primer flow around the firing pin due to a slightly oversize pin hole (similar to what you see in the rem 700) so I added the oversize firing pin (turned to a nice tight tolerance) and it lessened the flow/cratering issue --I love the gun, it's accurate and fun to shoot-- but too heavy for me to carry so I'm actually selling it with "stoner cnc g10 mil spec camo slash and burn grip panels" and a custom made leather chest holster from paradise valley leather as my OSP is lighter and I can carry it on a belt holster without dropping my pants (I have modded that one too) [ATTACH alt="20200325_154916.jpg"]194265[/ATTACH] the 180 xtp at 1400fps is about 780 ft pounsds, the 200wfn @ 1320 is just barely under that -- my 4" 44 mag shoots 240 gain bullets with H110 @ 1230 fps for 800 ft pounds -- so you can see that the 6" 10mm is very comparable to a 4" 44 mag --BUT give the 44 mag a longer barrel and it really shines over the 10mm, no doubt about that, and it can shoot much heavier bullets if you so desire-- but it only carries 6, my RIA carries 17 rounds and if you want, a quick mag change will get you 16 more (if you needed them and were still alive at that point I suppose) -- but the 10mm is more controllable than the 44 for me yet almost the same weight--tit for tat I suppose in my situation now my 4 5/8" 45 colt RBH (RBH handloads only) with H110 tops those numbers by 150 ft pounds and its much lighter, but its a single action [/QUOTE]
