Both very nice looking pistols. Thanks OP for the heads up thread. Funny, right after you posted I got an email alert from Springfield on this as well. I’ll be in the market shortly for a 10mm, thinking Delta Elite, Ruger, this Springfield, or now this Rock Island. This thread wil help......mostly.They're not that readily available and I can get a better price on the SA than retail. I'd rather pay the extra for a US made gun, since it won't be ridiculously more.
To those that are posting now about “my 45’s better”, “it’s too expensive “, or whatever - this thread isn’t for you. Please move along. Why is it almost mandatory for MDS posters to fill these threads with continually contrary opinions that have nothing whatsoever to do with the original post? You’re probably correct in your assertions, but the thread isn’t about “what’s your opinion”, it’s about “here’s a new pistol from Springfield in 10mm if anyone would like to look into it”. Nobody asked if the 45 was better, or cheaper. This afternoon I was discussing with another member this exact MDS member practice, and how I’ve grown weary of it over the last 9 months of membership. I’m sure there’s never any malice behind it, but for Pete’s sake it’s getting aggravating.
