The 44 magnum has always been my favorite round for a large bore revolver. Since I was old enough to shoot and carry a handgun I have used the good ole 44 magnum. Outside of that for medium and big game the most common revolver I use is some form of 22 rimfire.

Today after work I stopped by my local gun store I picked up a new Ruger SR1911 in 10mm.

I broke with tradition. For a while I have internally debated the merits of a 10mm autoloader. I thought about a Glock but they are kind of fat for a lack of a better term. I kind of like the idea of a 10mm revolver but something told me to get a 1911.

After traveling down to Florida, I evaluated my gun choices. It would be nice to have a gun that could do double duty. Self defense and use in the field.

So after going through the routine of paperwork I walked out the door with a brand new Ruger 10mm autoloader. In addition I have three boxes of 10mm ammo to try out on Saturday.

I'm looking forward to trying it out.
