How insane/feasible is a 10mm Defender/Ultra size 1911

Pic for attention. Kimber Super Carry Ultra HD. How loony would it be to put together a 10mm Ultra or Defender sized 1911? Mine runs like a top in .45 ACP with the EGW flat wire guide rod with Wilson/Nowlin ramped threaded barrel. This one is also an all steel model with steel frame and slide. I'm a bit curious as the madmen at Fusion Firearms can and will make a 3" 10mm barrel. Any considerations?

Basic but capable. I am trained and prefer the 1911 platform so in colder months I'll carry my Colt Lightweight Commander.

Update. This thing def rocks now.

300 rounds, only 2 failures toward the end all using the same mag. I can probably fix that because the CMC mag follower is a bit loose. Wilsons incoming.

My completely unreasonable tactical carry gun

Ever see a Defender/Ultra size gun with a threaded barrel? Me neither. Just fitted this Fusion Match barrel. There is a bit of reprofiling of the bottom lugs needed, and the hood needed to be filed a bit.

I don't care if it's impractical. I'm doing it.

Have a Kimber Super Carry Ultra HD in this exact spec and I have a threaded 3" bull barrel en route. Wish me luck. Re: sights: will any of the Kimber suppressor height sights work?

I mean, for $5 at a garage sale why not?

Mail call. Impact Machine P-01 slide - short atabletop review

After getting my hands on their slide and matching ported barrel, my first impressions are extremely positive. Scott is an awesome member of this CZ community and a really great person to do business with.

Right out of the box, the machining quality stands out. Every edge is clean, the slide cuts are crisp, and the finish is excellent. The tolerances appear very tight and figment was great. Heads up though, aftermarket steel guide rods will have trouble going in. I’d recommend using the stock polymer guide rod. The tolerances are tight.

The optic cut sits low in the slide and The serrations strike a nice balance between aggressive enough to provide plenty of grip and comfortable enough that they don’t feel overly sharp during manipulation.

The matching ported barrel is sweet. The machining around the ports is clean and symmetrical, and the barrel locks into the slide with very little play. Visually, the ports line up perfectly with the slide windows, giving the entire package an intentional, integrated look rather than feeling like a collection of aftermarket parts.

Initial Verdict: Based strictly on fit, finish, machining, and overall presentation, the Impact Machine slide and ported barrel makes an outstanding first impression. I’ll reserve final judgment until I get it to the range, but as a tabletop review, it’s hard to find much to criticize.

Got myself a beat up old 637 Airweight

And I love it. My first S&W revolver. She has scratches and gouges but it functions flawlessly.
