.40 1911 in L-10?

[OscarMike]

I own a STI sentry in .40SW and was thinking about buying some Tripp 10rd mags and shooting Limited 10 Major.

Anyone else shoot L-10 with a .40 1911?

Opinions on the Tripp mags with factory loads?

[oak hill]

Its a solid option. While I personally don't compete in L-10 (at least not yet) with a single stack, I know many others that do many with .45 cal, but nothing wrong with .40 and Tripp 10 rounders

I use a 40cal in Single Stack and ESP in IDPA never have a problem. If you plan on shooting IDPA make sure you get the Tripp mags that fit the box and you can use it in both games.

Make sure u get 10mm tripps if u load long

Thanks for the heads up guys. I'm only planning on uspsa. I don't own a fishing vest yet Right now I shoot limited minor with my 3 gun pistol. I'd like to shoot major something and this idea popped up to do either l10 or ss.

With single stack div I'm limited to 8 rounds of 40, right?

[cnote]

Yes

[amish_rabbi]

not Ideal, but if no one shoots SS near you then it would work. I'd shoot SS though just for more even equipment as long as there is a decent number of shooters at your matches

[deerassassin22]

yep you can have 9 on a loaded start no need for barney mags, and in my case my Wilson Combat mags work in ESP as well I just loose 1rnd because I can only stuff 9 in the mag not 10

You are NOT limited to 8 rounds of 40. You are limited to 8 rounds of major. If you shoot 40 minor and the mags fit in the box you CAN load them to 10 rounds. As far as a single stack gun in 40 for L10, I know some loser named Rob L has shot one fairly well:-)

Lots of guys around me shoot L-10 with 1911's both in 40 and 45. A double stack may be easier to reload but some drills on reloads will solve that.

Go for it

[blaster113]

yes go for it. only thing you're giving up to a double stack gun is slightly easier reloads

[bceglinski]

That's good info I've bought a ss I in 40 looking to shoot L10, ss, and any other comp

[jcc7x7]

Other comp's are basically idpa and steel

Steel isn't any problem and you can make a lighter load

idpa can'ts

no pinned deactivated grip safety , it has to work

no over length or oversize mag releases

weight and size of box are basically the same

I have an extra set of parts for idpa (i.e. grip safety that works and a mag release with out a paddle on it)

Nice thing with one gun and different mags you can shoot a 40 cal 1911 in L-10, SS, and IDPA. My mag release is drilled and tapped so it makes the switch easy. When I go to a super qualifier I usually just take one gun and shoot both divisions which is nice and really helps ramp up the scores.

I mainly shoot SS with a STI Trojan in .40. I run the Cory special Tripp mags, bodies are built for 10, but because of the followers I can fit 9 in them. I recently shot L10, I just switched the followers with the standard Tripp ones and boom my mag holds 10 rounds. Don't plan on shooting L10 often, but it's good to have an option.
