I spent an hour last night checking my 10mm stash. About 500 rounds of mixed LRN and FMJs. I had about 50 that didn't fit the case gauge, so I'll be running them through the Redding Bulge Buster. These are not nuclear loads, they're in a separate can. I still have a couple thousand more to go over again. I just emailed the shop, asking about how long it takes. I will hopefully be heading over to Vienna Arsenal on Saturday to pick it up. In case anyone is interested, here's his site https://www.viennaarsenal.com/

The shop owner answered my email. It takes 2-5 business days for the distributor to ship out the gun. Not sure how they ship or from where, so maybe I'll have it next week Friday.

I've been looking at the Bruin because of the 6" barrel and also because it's offered in two-tone black and bronze. Simply beautiful, but at that price, I'd also consider the 6" bronze finish Remington R1 10mm. About half the price, just not sure of the R1 itself quality-wise. Hope your Silverback is awesome!
Bought one a couple of years ago. It was a jam-o-matic. Traded it in after only a couple range sessions. Too bad, as it seemed like a great value.

If I read the email correctly, I may be picking this up Saturday. Getting giddy here. I'm really hoping to get a nice tax return, then I can get a 610 again.
ETA: Just got an email saying it's at the shop. Too bad I can't get there until Saturday

After hearing the weather finalize on freezing rain in the area, I decided to pick her up tonight. I hate driving to Vienna. Anyway, filled out the paperwork, chatted with the owner of the shop for a while, and headed home with my prize. Dan Wesson includes two magazines with their pistol. I'm up to 9 10mm 1911 mags now. The mags that came with the Silverback didn't drop free for a few tries. Not like I'm doing mag dumps with this, but they did eventually drop free, along with the rest of the magazines I have. I field stripped it, which is an adventure in itself. Everything is super tight on this gun, no slop at all. I cleaned out the packing oil and applied appropriate lubricants in appropriate places. The tritium, adjustable sights are a nice touch. The barrel itself is pretty clean. I'll post pictures tomorrow.
