I updated the broken links and pics in my older journal posts.

Wanted to touch on firearms again. I settled on the
10mm Auto handgun model that I want.
Definitely going with the
Rock Island Armory / ArmsCor 1911, but there are
2 variants that caught my eye. Both pistols have a
16+1 capacity.
The model
52009 Ultra FS HC [PICTURED BELOW] has a
5" barrel and a MSRP of
$798.
The model
52000 Pro Match Ultra HC [PICTURED BELOW] has a
6" barrel, adjustable rear sights, an integrated picatinny rail, forward cocking serrations and has a MSRP of
$1322 USD.
That integrated picatinny rail on the
52000 Pro is a game changer! And the forward cocking serrations make chambering a round all the easier. And that extra inch of barrel length ensures no unburned powder, especially with hot loads.
If I had the money, I'd definitely take the
52000 Pro model. That's a no-brainer. But for the bargain, the
52009 Ultra is hard to beat!
