My first 10mm is now at my FFL dealer (my gun club). It shipped on 2/12 and arrived at the FFL today (2/16). Pickup is by appointment only and the earliest opening they have is 2/19 (Friday). So, I will be picking it up at 9:30 AM that day.
Not only is this my first 10mm, it’s my first full-sized 1911, and first double-stacked (M1911A2) 1911.
I also have 200 rounds of 10mm range ammo coming – ordered online: 100 rounds of Sellier & Bellot 180-gr FMJ and 100 rounds of Ammo Inc. 180-gr FMJ. I’ll also attempt to see if I can find more (hotter, maybe) locally.
So, the plan is to pick up the 1911 Friday morning, clean it sometime during the day, and visit the range either that evening or the following day.
The two extra mags that I ordered haven’t even been processed yet…I’ve no idea why there’s such a hold-up at Armscor. I hate it when a gun shop’s website says they’ve hardware in stock but when you order it, it’s not in stock. IMO, that’s false advertising.
I’ve a bunch of new Go Pro batteries and plan to use the Go Pro to catch footage of my first 10mm experience!
