I like the Springfield Operator and it can be optioned with the slide milled for an RMR red dot. If you prefer a 1911 IMO this is the way to go. However, if you're open to options, the Springfield XDM OSP 10mm with the threaded barrel is a good choice, it's every bit as accurate, as my 1911s, at least mine is and I have the option to shoot suppressed. It carries well in a Kenai Gunfighter chest rig.
Best 10mm 1911 frame handgun for hunting?

You say, I say-- it is what it is. Uses a double stack mag sure-- but has all the same internal parts as a 1911, has the same 1911 grip angle--- call it a 2011 or double stack 1911--- if we are gonna go OG, then it would have to be made by colt and in 45acp to be a 1911.
Op said he didn't like the fit of his glock so he's looking for a 1911-- to me that means same internal parts as a colt 1911 ( though there are different series and parts ) and grip angle so he might be looking at all options - single and double , I was just trying to help him out with his decision from my past ownership and opinion

That's what I went to also, xdm osp 10mm-- but it's double stack and doesn't share parts with a 1911-- but it does share the same basic grip angle, that's one of the reasons I like it. And it's lots lighter too. I run a comp on mine in the field
I shoot a Ruger SR1911 in 10mm. Had it for sale but pulled the listing. I've added a G20 but haven't had time to shoot it.
Have also had the EAA Witness compact in 10mm. It's gone -- was like shooting a 357 snubby.
The SR1911/10 has more recoil than my 1911's in 45ACP, more recoil than a G40 MOS Long Slide.
And, is one of the most accurate pistols I have, if not *the* most accurate.

If I'm not mistaken they go by Stacatto now.
Staccato 2011 Handguns, Pistols, & Accessories. Built For Heroes.
A Staccato firearm is a promise of American ingenuity. Precision engineered reliability. Accuracy and confidence. Because the better we shoot, the closer we are to the target, the more locked in we are for family and freedom.
I hate that my dry sense of humor doesn't always come through in text.
Ah yes I remember seeing something about this now- thanks! Are they still made in Georgetown, TX? If so, that would obviously be my new recommendation as everything is better in Texas.If I'm not mistaken they go by Stacatto now.

I'd take a singer 1911 or a Cabot made from metorite any dayAnything else is just a gun.
Wow ok cool thanks for all the feedback. I handled the 6" barrel Kimber super jagare today and did not care for it. But I did look at a Dan Wesson specialist and it was fantastic - tight fitting, excellent trigger and fit and finish.
But I also like the standard Kimber full size that I looked at.
I've looked at the double stack 10mms and
They're too clunky for me.
Haven't been able to get my hands on a Springfield to compare it yet but hope to soon. The TRP was discontinued but the Ronin looks very similar to what I want…only downside is having to wait to get my hands on one to make a decision.

I have the Springfield TRP with the factory-installed Trijicon RMR Long-slide (6 in. BBL). This is my first 1911 framed pistol. It is a tight-fitting handgun with very close tolerances. The RMR makes it a great 75-yard weapon and 100+ yards is very doable. I have shot the Kimber and there is no way I would give up the Springfield for the Kimber. Having said all that, the 1911 frame is not my style. I am looking for a SIG P220 10mm Legion. I am a SIG man and they fit my hand best of all.
Sorry, ButterBean!
