Recommend a 10mm

[Laufen]

Requirements:

Excellent Reliability
40 yard hunting type accuracy, so decent trigger.
Sub $800

I can’t speak for price. I’ve only shot a glock 20 and a 10mm 1911. I would take the 1911 hands down. The extra weight helped tame it and the SA trigger was easier to shoot accurately

800 bucks will get you a decent 1911 in 10.

I would think you want a 1911 like Colt Delta or RIA Ultra if not a Glock 40 for the price range you're looking.

 

[chance]

If you can find a 1911, do it. If not a glock 40 would be a good choice

Saw this Colt Delta $750 in GA

SR1911 is an option!

SR1911 is an option!

You should work for Ruger so we can test the new guns. #biggestfanever

SR1911 is an option!

I agree with this for the price range you're at. Can't beat a 1911 trigger, and Ruger makes a pretty decent 1911 for the money.

Thanks. Super far away, and I don't ODT.

I could make the arrangements, and you could pick it up on the way during your next visit to Sam's place.

EAA Witness 10mm

Do they still have frame cracking issues though?

Not sure, I’ve never heard of that. A buddy of mine has an EAA Witness 10mm that he’s had for at least 12 years. He’s never had an issue with his. I realize that ain’t a cross section of ownership, though.

To hunt I'd go glock 20 with an extended KKM barrel and nice target sights. There is your $800 limit, durability, and accuracy requirements...

I third the SR1911 recommendation. Haven’t shot one in 10mm, but for the price I consider the SR to be better than pretty decent.
