Magnum Research is one of my trusted Manufacturers and I have a hard time turning away. I have been kind of/sort of looking at 10mm and when I handled this 1911 I decided it was time to get one. Don't know when I will shoot it as I have another appt. with the Doc about my right retina Friday concerning blurriness. But it will happen. Was assured that I can get an adjustable rear sight for it. my gun inspector approves. Great trigger, tight, and bull barrel.

Congrats. I've always been impressedwith MR's 1911s with the few I've had a chance to examine.

Thanks that means a lot to me coming from you. I have a hard time walking away from Dan Wesson and Magnum Research both.

When it comes to brass throwers its 1911’s and CZ style pistols that get my attention. Nice gun Ernie Im sure you will enjoy it. Put your best meat hook grip on that bad boy when you touch off a few 10’s. There is some hp there

Nice, I am not big on the 10mm, but that is one spiffy looking 1911

Congrats on the MR!! I have a MR .45 1911 and am very impressed with it. Function, trigger pull and accuracy is very close to being the equal of my Les Baer UTC and that's at a third of the price. I've got more than a few 1911's but no 10mm and there always seems to be 10mm brass left laying around at the range...and I've been picking it up.

Nice looking piece my friend. I never jumped on the 10mm bandwagon, only because I didn't want to add another caliber to load. Same reason I don't own a 44 mag. Always wanted both a Model 29 and a Charter Arms Bulldog, but just never wanted to add 44 caliber to the Dillon Press.

Will look forward to the range report!

Awesome manufacture of an awesome platform in an awesome caliber.

Hmmmm a lot of awesome here!


Al, I’m with you. I have slowly over the years limited my center fire brass throwers to 1911, CZ and a few S&W 3rd gen steel semi’s including one in 10mm.

I've had a couple 1911s in 10mm and really enjoyed shooting the 10mm. I found the 10mm to be an easily controlled round in a 191, considering its power level. Great flat shooting distance cartridge for a 1911. My problem for me going 10mm, now, is the extra effort to rack the slide with the heavier 10mm springs needed. Some days the arthritis makes racking the slide on any semi-auto a challenge, even a 22 semi-auto. One reason I shoot mostly revolvers in my old age.

I have the dies for 40 cal so that is covered. Ordered brass from Starline and have large pistol primers and think I have bullets but have to check to be sure. Will order the Lee factory crimper today and have powder covered. Will probably take it out Wednesday weather permitting.
Thanks for the positive response. I know I can always count on you enablers to make me feel like I did the right thing buying JUST ONE MORE GUN.

That is a well made 1911! Only Mag Research gun I had was the BFR in .45-70 and it was made very well. Enjoy!

When I broke my left wrist in two places, it required surgery and the insertion of a steel plate. After surgery there was major nerve damage called "Complex Regional Pain Syndrome." The doc said it had been noted that the pain had often been described as worse than childbirth. I can't comment on that, but I can say that the pain when the hand was touched or I tried to force it to move right after surgery was ... awful. I had NO strength and I could not move my fingers. I was afraid that I would not be able to shoot semi-autos, OR long guns again. After nearly a year of therapy, I have about 80% range of motion and 50% of the strength back. I can chamber both the 1911s and the SIG P220, my main concerns. The Glocks were easy once I could make a fist... (sort of.) And Yes... on bad Arthur days... no.

Hmmm... maybe that's the reason the last five guns I added were revolvers.
