looking to buy one of this pistol and wondered if anyone is familiar with how the gun runs/handles the 10mm ammunition?

appreciate any thoughts on this.

  They run the 10mm on a fully supported chamber platform, and use a heavy spring. I suggest the use of a recoil buffer to keep the slide from beating the frame to death. Personally, if I were going to go the extra for the Kimber, where as of the last few years, has had some quality issue's, I would consider just a few more dollars for a Fusion 1911.

  I have one, Kimber Eclipse 10mm, and love it. Fusion is afine gun, would buy one in a minute, but the Eclipse is also a great gun. Never have had any problems with anything on it or with any ammo I shot through it. I have Kimber Targert in 40 cal that I am buying the barrel. spring, and mags to switch it back and forth between 40 cal and 10mm.

  If the frame is not cut for the fully supported 10mm barrel, you might have a problem. I am not sure if they have the 40 fully supported or not.
