EAA was the prior importer of Tanfos. It's now IFG.Well fine & dandy but can they be had in massatwosheets?
other than your build perhaps not being to everyone's taste, what's unpopular about it?Unpopular opinion. Build one. It's like a Glock 20, but with a 1911-esque grip angle. My Polymer80 PF-45 10mm "woods" gun.

Sig P220 10MM. I have four of them....I have never shot a more accurate handgun...not even an Ed Brown Custom 1911 was as accurate for me, and the Sig goes bang every time. Heavier than the Glock, but after ten minutes who knows the wiser.
I have the exact same gun...time to go shooting again.!I've said this before in a couple of other threads, but for some reason the handgun I'm most accurate with is my Sig P220 Elite 10mm. It is heavy, but since I'm not a lover of punishing recoil I appreciate that when using DoubleTap's 230 gr hardcast.

I also have one of these:I'm thinking I want a long slide 1911 in 10mm because I believe steel and wood are best for firearms.
Well that and me being a disciple of John Moses Browning makes it a natural choice.
16 rounds of 10mm goodness.

Don’t have the long slide but I certainly love the 5”.I also have one of these:

Springfield Armory 10mm 1911 TRP Operator Longslide. Weight is almost identical to the P220, 6 inch match grade bull barrel, same grip angle as the P220 (i.e. 1911), adjustable target sights. Don't shoot it anywhere near as well as the P220. And it is me, not the gun, since others shoot it and it is a tack driver for them.
Honestly, I’m limited in 1911 triggers but I’m very happy with it.How's the trigger on the SA TRP? The trigger on the Sig TACOPS 45 was terrible from the factory and needed a lot of work just to get it to a crisp 4lbs. Sig had also made the TACOPS in 10mm for a time.
Totally agree for bear applications. For woods, I recommend the G29 or G20. Both are bricks but most good 10mm shooters need to be and you need something that will run in any conditions. Can't beat the glocks for that. For range shooting, I would pass on the glocks and other tupperware guns except maybe the 320. It's not at all about show and tell, it's about having a gun that will shoot lights out accurate. You aren't likely to shoot a glock the way you would shoot something like a Shadow 2, just as an example. There is nothing elitist about higher end stuff when you are trying to match the gun with the application.It all comes down to if you want a Texas BBQ gun to show off or do you want a gun you can have confidence in when the bear is about to rip your face off?There is no question; utilitarian G20 or do you want a show and tell gun that may or may not do what it is ment to do?
Pretty much like any other 1911. Good, but nothing outstanding for a 1911.How's the trigger on the SA TRP? The trigger on the Sig TACOPS 45 was terrible from the factory and needed a lot of work just to get it to a crisp 4lbs. Sig had also made the TACOPS in 10mm for a time.
Locally, I've seen 10mm for less than 45acp.Everyone gets hard over "10 mm" but before you commit make sure you understand the cost to feed a 10mm if you intend to also plink with a 10.
Hmm. I know Greenland is using 10mm for polar bears.I have G20 and it’s definitely a great woods/hiking gun, but moose? Black bear, yeah but 10mm on a moose doesn’t seem like a very good idea. If I’m worried about moose I’m carrying a long gun.
Are a lot of people up your way using the 10mm? For the "big stuff"?Sig P220 10MM. I have four of them....I have never shot a more accurate handgun...not even an Ed Brown Custom 1911 was as accurate for me, and the Sig goes bang every time. Heavier than the Glock, but after ten minutes who knows the wiser.
You probably know this but others may not-Everyone gets hard over "10 mm" but before you commit make sure you understand the cost to feed a 10mm if you intend to also plink with a 10.
Here are my experiences from most experienced to least:Looking for your input on a couple of 10mm I have my eye on. I’m interested in the Glock 20 gen5, FN 510 tac, and the S&W performance center 10mm.
Anyone have any real world experience with any of these models? Will be used as a woods gun and possibly in a chest rig during hikes.
People are obsessed with 10mm...I still pack a .454 in the woods but to each there own. Kentucky Ballistics does an excellent bear load video if you're curious as to penetration of four popular bear guns and loads.Are a lot of people up your way using the 10mm? For the "big stuff"?
