As we know, 10mm is a dynamo of a caliber for boar and other deer sized game. But, several of our customers asked for something with the same hard hitting power and accuracy as our 6" 10mm Hunter but maybe a little shorter than the 6" model so in addition to being ideal for hunting, it's also perfectly suitable for licensed carry or even duty use. Kind of a multi• tasker.
And that's how our 5" 1911 10mm Hunter was born. Standard 1911 size with big power and super performance.
Like the 6" model, the 5" is custom built from the ground• up and is fully equipped for unerring accuracy, superior handling characteristics, and dependability. And the 10mm cartridge is probably one of the hardest hitting and most reliable cartridges you'll find for semi• autos. Features include :
• Baer NM steel frame, NM slide and NM barrel with stainless bushing • Baer 5" slide fitted to frame • Double serrated slide • Baer supported chamber 5" supported stainless steel barrel • Low mount LBC adjustable sight with hidden leaf • Baer fiber optic front sight (green standard, red optional) • Lowered and flared ejection port • tuned and polished extractor • Baer extended ejector • Baer checkered slide stop • Baer speed trigger with crisp 4 lb. pull • Baer deluxe Commander hammer and sear • Beavertail grip safety with pad • Flat serrated mainspring housing • Beveled mag well • Polished feed ramp and throated barrel • Baer extended safety • High checkered front strap @ 30 lpi • Pistol tuned for total reliability • Baer Black Recon grips • Blued finish • (2) 9• round mags
Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 10mm Automatic is a powerful semi auto cartridge. With the proper bullet in capable hands it is suitable for hunting medium size game at close range. Although it has been used on large dangerous game including Cape buffalo and the great bears it is not ideal for such game. The round is capable of pushing a 180 grain bullet to 1,300 FPS from a 5” barrel. This exceeds the power of a .357 magnum by a good margin and is closely on the heels of a .41 magnum. Bullets are .400” diameter and range from 125 grains to 220 grains. Once in service with the FBI, it is now considered excessive in recoil and stopping power for law enforcement use. Hand guns and ammunition is available from most major manufactures. — Craig Boddington
