If they don't wake up and admit that they need to, no wait I need them to make a pistol in 10mm I'm gonna have no choice but to go buy a glock... I'm getting real tired of this crap....

Let's be reasonable here. :)
 
Don't even look at a ''Block'' let alone buy one. Save your pennies and buy a Sig P220 in 10mm. I did, and have never been happier. I don't think Ruger will ever come out with a 10mm until they're 100% sure their 1911 frames can handle the stress. Colt did have some frame problems when they first came with the Delta Elite back in the 80's if I remember correctly. Seriously, look at the Sig P220.
 
10 mm's really don't sell that well. Seems Ruger has made a reasonable financial decision not to make a product that won't have a reasonable pay out for the costs of engineering and tooling up to make one. But what the heck they could make the same sort of decisions Colt has made for years.

Colt is down to basically two platforms, M-16 and 1911. Oh they may make some variations of those, but that's it, just two platforms. And, if it weren't for the military buying M-16's from them they'd have gone belly up decades ago.
 
Don't forget the Peacemaker SAA models also.

There isn't enough profit in it for Ruger to take the time to make a 10mm.

If you really want a 10mm go buy one from Glock, Sig etc.
 
I know the reasons why fellas I'm just really bummed because I think the 10mm is the shiznit for woods gun in wisconsin and I like higher capacity than 1911 offers. I prefer to buy american. Nothing against glock I've owned a few, but an sr10 I think is do-able just throwin it out there dreamin out loud :mrgreen:
 
Loaded round, what's the capacity on that p220? Barrel length? We need 5 1/2" from firing pin to muzzle in wisconsin to be legal for deer hunting.
 
Jammer:
My Sig P220 SAO has a magazine capacity of 8+1 with a 5'' OAL barrel. If you were closer I'd invite you out to shoot it at my local range, and buy the beers when the firearms are put away.

You've "had it" with Ruger? Is there a law against having guns from more than one maker? If you want a 10mm, get one. Glock, Sig, Colt... a used Smith & Wesson.

Meanwhile, if Ruger doesn't hurry up and come out with a .30-30 lever gun, I'm gonna hold my breath until I turn blue.

. Yeah, I also feel entitled to a Ruger 30-30 lever action also. Don't them dirty scutters know that I expect immediate compliance with my wishes? HAHA

Rather than reflect Jammer's true feelings, I think it was tongue in cheek comment designed to encourage response to an low interest topic.

The marketers have totally missed the boat on this. 10mm doesn't sound cool enough. They need to start calling it 400 magnum.
 
Ruger had that combination in either a Blackhawk or Vaquero Convertible as a special edition several years ago. Wish I bought one then, I do see them every so often on Gunbroker for some big $$$.

A Ruger Blackhawk Convertible in 38-40WCF/40S&W/10mmMagnum would be a real wiener.

Cheers,

Loaded round, thanks for the offer if I'm ever in the area I'll look you up! !

Yes the comment was tongue and cheek fellas. Lol... I think a bisley hunter convertible would be sweeeet but my purpose for the 10mm is a semi auto with higher capacity for woods defense and close range deer hunting in wisconsin. It's nice to have a hand gun for when the deer sneak under you and one that can double as a defensive piece is preferred with black bears, cougars and wolves around. I understand ruger's thinking initially but at this point I really think they're missing the boat on the 10mm.

The glock us a great pistol I've owned several but I prefer to buy american over anything else unless I have no choice. The sig is a very nice piece but expensive.

Maybe I'll build an ar pistol and be done with it lol :mrgreen:
 
And just to let ya know, I do have a super redhawk 454 I chopped and use for the purpose of defense bUT the barrel is too shot now to be legal per wisconsin regs . I'm not necessarily under gunned...
 
Last summer I met some outfitters in Ennis, MT. To a man they carried Glock 10mms for their sidearms. I have a Kimber Eclipse 10mm. Still working the bugs out but like the platform. Like others have said here, I doubt Ruger will offer a 10 unless a distributor asks for one on the SR1911 platform. Remember how long it took Ruger to chamber a Blackhawk in 44 Special?
 
How bout Ruger GP100 in 10mm...!!!

Until then get a Glock 29 or a 20 .. No bugs to workout !!
 
If I get a 10mm, I would want it to be able to shoot 40cal too.

First choice would be a Blackhawk with two cylinders, second choice GP100 with moon clips.

no bugs except for the unsupported chamber :D
 
Took my G-21 in .45 ACP.

Got the long, Lone Wolf barrel in 10mm.

Got a few 10 mm magazines from a G-20.

Made up "The Beast" and it is a tack driving sledge hammer of a pistol....

Sure, if you want a 10mm that costs $1500, only holds 8 rounds, and weighs 40 ounces, get the 220. Otherwise get the most popular 10mm on the planet, the "Block".
