10mm handguns video.

Watch when he gets to the brand new unfired Kimber 1911 10mm. 5:59 time on video.

Oh man...
I watched it few minutes ago .... I love the little "jam" inclusion video that he relentlessly added.
The brand new Kimber really shines....

My RIA 10mm 1911 has 0 issues. It probably wasn't even half as much as that Kimber he has. Even breaking in my RIA it never had the problems that fancy Kimber had.

I think a big portion of the problems some have with new 1911's stem from the fact that they don't property clean AND lube them.

The average 1911 wants to run "wet".
Too many people I've seen barely lube anew gun at all, whether they clean it or not.

My new 1911's get a complete field strip, cleaned to bare, dry metal, and then light gun oil on finish parts, and Lubriplate engine assembly grease on all moving parts.

They run as advertised, right out of the box.

I cleaned and lubed my RIA before I started break-in. I had a few failures to feed the first few magazines then it just ran no problems other than launching brass to Michigan.

I often carry my RIA 10 mm 1911.
Love that gun.

It's very affordable and reliable.
I've put another $200 into it so far.
That's about it, but it's running really good.

Mine is stock.
No plans to change that.

P320 10mm rumors

My ria 10mm 1911 has run good too. Had 2 hiccups I'm 99.99% sure I caused by bumping the slide stop. Guy at works kimber needs some peanut butter with its jam

They do appear to be solidly built firearms with good tolerances.

 

[d.kaufman]

Love both my 10mms. G20 and RIA. As others have stated my RI has run flawlessly as well.

[tomcat13]

Another for the RIA 01911 in 10mm. Mine runs fine with anything I've put thru it (so far).
Also PPC it from time to time.

Lol Kimber's are going to Kimber , and that's a $1,200 street price gun. If he would have ponied up for an actual nice 1911 (like $300 more for a Dan Wesson) those issues would not have happened.

A $1200 premium gun that won't run but a $400 RIA will. Wonder what Kimber ****ed up. I've seen to many horror stories on Kimber to ever invest in one. I do know several people that own them without issue but I'm not taking that chance for the price

That Kimber had a very badly tuned extractor. IMHO. It could be fixed it 20 minutes. No excuse though. Shouldn't have left the factory like that

I was thinking chamber issue since it even had a feedway stopage when loading a fresh mag from slide lock.

Unpopular opinion, RIA's should not exist and no red blooded American should buy a foreign made 1911 it's just wrong. If you don't have the cash for a good one buy a Glock with the rest of the poors.

But that $1200 American made 1911 is a big pos. I'll take my RIA that eats everything vs a kimber that can't cycle anything....thank you very much. I like my firearms to actually work. Like my Glocks, CZs, and other foriegn firearms as well.
Even a HiPoint works better than that pos Kimber in the video

Edit to add I do love my Ruger SR1911 and it's American made. Sounds like this one wouldn't meet your standards either as it didn't cost $1500-3000. Goes bang everytime though.
