Because everyone is still scared of the cracked frame non-issue that was resolved years ago.

1911s or 2011s are some of the most common guns chambered in 10mm.

A better question is just why aren't there more guns chambered in 10mm period.

Short answer: all the money is in 1911s made in more common calibers.

Long answer: 10mm auto is a boutique round. An enthusiast round. The main advantage of it is that it's hot, and that there's shitloads of case real estate for hand loaders to cram more powder in make it even hotter.

It also kicks hard enough that 90% of the public can't place reliable followup shots with it in a reasonable timeframe. This is how .40 S&W was born and why it's so popular - the FBI was poised to move to 10mm as their service round and did so for a little while, but discovered most of their agents couldn't handle it and so progressively under loaded it until someone had the great idea of cutting down on the case length because they weren't using all that extra room anyway.

So it's a very niche market - if you want to shoot 10mm as a self defense round, you get something double stack. It is purely for enthusiasts that like the 1911 design and like the mid-higher end of power you can squeeze out of an autoloader.

Just buy a conversion kit for your existing 1911.

Yet still better than .45acp.

.45 STRONK

10mm is too expensive so no one wants to shoot it

t. guy who wanted a 10mm delta elite but mayne fuck .45 acp is expensive enough and +P loading should be sufficient and it's mild in recoil

still feels bad, might have to convert to .460 Rowland someday

Fuck 9mm fags.

I'd prefer a 1911 in 7.62x25. Also a slightly enlarged Vz.61 in the same.

because 10MM is not logical
a 45 or even a 9mm can get the job done with less recoil

i've shot a 10mm glock and it was very difficult to get tight groupings
while i could shoot 2X the 9mm more accurately.

efficiency is everything

What can't Dan Wesson provide you that you would need more choices?

With 1911's there is the best you can buy before you get to sperg-ey detail stuff, expecting Springfield to make a GI in 10mm is unrealistic.

There are plenty of high end 10mm 1911's for non-poors

Best looking handfun imo.

So you can go back to school?

I don't know what you're talking about since there are a lot of 10mm auto pistols are 1911.
