| I would say recoil and cost of ammo are two big factors. Also, it’s my understanding that the 10mm is especially punishing on the 1911 platform that was designed for the much softer recoiling .45 ACP. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Why didn't the 10MM "make it" as a commercial success? From what little I know it's way more effective than a 9MM or 45ACP? Image below from TJ Parmele - Image Title: Colt Delta Elite 10MM 1911 Image Info: Colt was one of the original pioneers in adapting a combat pistol to the potent 10mm cartridge and the first to successfully manufacture a 10mm caliber pistol in the United States. This one has a ported slide and barrel. I picked it up for a bit of a song. Larger image available! Click image to see it.  |
