Came across this LNIB Specialist in 10mm at a gun show yesterday. Got a deal I just couldn't refuse!
Hope to take it out soon, and post a range report.

I've been tempted to get a 10mm 1911 for some time now, because of the ballistics potential, but I need another caliber like a hole in the head.

I completely understand! I've always resisted getting a new caliber (though I've somehow ended up with a bunch of calibers).
But - last December I impulsively bought my first 10mm - the Bruin. Love that pistol, and became an instant 10mm fan. In April, I decided I needed to explore the possibilities for a Commander-size 10mm, and I pulled the trigger on a Tisas Yukon. This reinforced my enthusiasm for 10mm, and I fully expected to get another one at some point.
When I saw the price on the LNIB Specialist at the gun show yesterday, it was a no-brainer. "Need" was not a consideration! 
My suggestion: If you've been tempted to get a 10mm 1911 - get one! I have found that I get over "buyers remorse" much faster & easier than "wish-I-had-bought-that" remorse!

Jim, Did you come up to DeRidder? I heard it was a sad showing with only two or three gun tables... I haven't been to the that show since the first one and I rarely go to the LC show anymore...
BTW- My Pointman 7-10 receives regular days out of the safe- I agree 10mm is a blast (pun intended).
Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

Hi Ron,
Yes, I went up to DeRidder. I had never been to that show before, and just happened to see a yard sign advertising it, so decided to check it out. Overall, the show was a bust. There weren't but a few gun sellers, and they were mostly pushing plastic-fantastics & AR's. I would have been disappointed at having made the drive up there (an hour each way) for nothing, but finding the Specialist changed my whole perspective. I came home happy!
I probably won't go to that show anymore, unless I just really haven't got anything better to do when it comes back around.
Regards,
Jim
