I have always been a big fan of the 1911, and by "1911" I mean the 5" Government Model chambered in .45 ACP. That being said, for whatever reason, the concept of a Commander sized gun chambered in 10mm has intrigued me for some time. So, when a friend of mine needed money for his house remodel and was putting a Rock Island Arms MST II up for sale (NIB no less), I jumped on it. I took it down to the range this morning and got it broken in and sighted in. There were a couple of failures to feed, but those were ammo related, and not the gun's fault. The jury is still out on the textured grips and fiber-optic front sight, but I'm trying to keep an open mind and learn new things. First impressions -- this is one tight little pistol, and one that has a lot of potential!

Target with the 200 grain cast HP derived from the RCBS 10mm 200 grain SWC, at ~1100 fps.

impresive!!

....as to which holster I want to carry that piece in!

Whaddaya think? Kydex? Nylon?

I know that's what Rob would say:)

With rubber grips you need a nylon leg holster, with those G-10 grips you need a leather holster but it needs tactical in the name. If you put some pretty wood or stag stocks on it, Rob can fit you up with a shark skin holster it would be right at home in:)

Good results Glen - the 10 brings a lot of power to the table and I found it accurate. I sold mine because my old wrist can't take it any longer. I still have a MetalForm mag and some brass if you would like them for the cost of postage.

ONION SACK

Or maybe inside the pants ...

Do you wanna keep it?

Kydex is doing a great job on my Spartan with not all that much use.

(truth be told, the worse it gets, the more I like it)

You hang it where ever you wish.

They don't look like safe queens owned by someone who fondles their guns more than shooting them:) Those are STI's are great pistols. I had a Trojan and I wish I'd have kept it!

set up for what ever you would need...But I can build you a nice holster if you decide not to go the UM route...
