It\u2019s also considered one of the best handgun hunting cartridges suitable for a conventionally sized auto-pistol. And the cartridge is indeed powerful: It can generate muzzle velocities exceeding 1,700 fps, with muzzle energies as high as 800 foot-pounds.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, as Newton told us, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When put into language the average hillbilly can understand, it means 10mm handguns have a lot of recoil. In fact, with the hottest loads, they\u2019ll recoil with more than twice the force of a 9mm and as much as 30 percent harder than a .45 auto with +P ammunition.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-right.jpg\" alt=\"Tisas-D10-profile-right\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-288896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-right.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-right-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-right-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-right-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-right-672x420.jpg 672w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The cartridge was originally designed for the Bren Ten pistol, and both the cartridge and pistol were influenced by gun writer Jeff Cooper. But the Bren Ten and the birth of the 10mm are old news\u201440 years old, to be exact.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the popularity of the 10mm has seen ups and downs. For a time, it was even chambered in an issue service pistol by the FBI. However, with the introduction of the 10mm Lite\u2014.40 S&amp;W\u2014interest in the 10mm auto waned. While it remained popular with hunters, it did not get a lot of attention for concealed carry.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, when the FBI decided to ditch their .40s and return to the 9mm, the 10mm started to once again garner interest. All this means that, today, there\u2019s a wider selection of 10mm auto handguns and 10mm auto ammunition than ever before. In defiance of its excessive recoil, it\u2019s safe to say the 10mm auto cartridge is now more popular than ever.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-left.jpg\" alt=\"Tisas-D10-profile-left\" class=\"wp-image-288897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-left.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-left-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-left-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-left-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-left-672x420.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-left.jpg\" alt=\"Tisas-D10-profile-left\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-288897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-left.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-left-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-left-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-left-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-D10-profile-left-672x420.jpg 672w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Tisas D10 is a well-made 1911 that\u2019s reliable and accurate.

I think an adjustable sight makes sense if you\u2019re hunting, but for concealed carry it\u2019s not that important. Additionally, it also has a sharp front edge that could have been radiused to prevent discomfort when manually cycling the slide. The front sight is a serrated black post\u2014but very surprisingly, the dovetail base of this sight has been contoured to match the radius of the slide. This is a treatment usually only seen on high-end 1911s.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-bushing.jpg\" alt=\"Tisas-bushing\" class=\"wp-image-288901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-bushing.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-bushing-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-bushing-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-bushing-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-bushing-672x420.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-bushing.jpg\" alt=\"Tisas-bushing\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-288901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-bushing.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-bushing-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-bushing-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-bushing-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tisas-bushing-672x420.jpg 672w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Many 1911s that deliver the level of precision seen from the Tisas D10 require a bushing wrench for disassembly.

Tisas took the pains to inset the frame pin for the takedown lever on the right side of the frame\u2014another treatment generally reserved for high-end 1911s\u2014but they didn\u2019t radius the edges on the slide, slide stop or ambidextrous safety.

But out of the box, the pistol shot to point-of-aim. I liked the thick, 0.126-inch-wide front sight and the large and serrated rear sight blade. However, I would\u2019ve liked a bit wider notch in the rear sight to provide some more light on the sides of the front sight. This would help with sight acquisition during speed engagements or when hunting in low-light conditions.<\/p>\n<p>As with every defensive-style handgun I test, I ran the D10 through the Forty-Five Drill\u2014five shots at 5 yards at a 5-inch target from the holster\u2014using the Federal 200-grain HST load. My average time for five runs was 3.98 seconds, which is about a half-second slower than my times with similar-sized .45 auto running +P ammo.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of feel, the trigger was exceptional. Even though my trigger scale listed it at 5 pounds, when pulling it I would have sworn it was closer to three. The hammer release felt as good or better than that on any of the non-custom 1911s I\u2019ve recently tested.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Precision:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This pistol also impressed me with the level of precision it delivered on target. I tested all 10 loads from a sandbag rest at 10 yards, and not a single group measured larger than 2 inches\u2014most came in under 1.5 inches, and a few broke the 1-inch mark. Just for fun, I also took some 100-yard shots from the offhand standing position at a steel torso target at 100 yards, hitting the target way more than I missed it. In short, this pistol has all the precision you\u2019ll need for self-defense or hunting.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10mm-ammo-table.jpg\" alt=\"10mm-ammo-table\" class=\"wp-image-288906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10mm-ammo-table.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10mm-ammo-table-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10mm-ammo-table-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10mm-ammo-table-696x348.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10mm-ammo-table-200x100.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10mm-ammo-table.jpg\" alt=\"10mm-ammo-table\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-288906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10mm-ammo-table.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10mm-ammo-table-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10mm-ammo-table-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10mm-ammo-table-696x348.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10mm-ammo-table-200x100.jpg 200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Notes: Reported muzzle velocity (MV), standard velocity deviation (SD), maximum velocity deviation (MD) and muzzle energy (ENG) were obtained by firing 10 shots over a Caldwell G2 chronograph with the screens positioned 10 feet from the muzzle.

But my job is to nit-pick. Even with the things I didn\u2019t like about the D10, at its suggested price of $799.99, this is unquestionably a fantastic pistol. A competent gunsmith can radius the sharp edges that offended me \u2026 and even slightly open the notch in the rear sight for just a couple hundred bucks. And of course, you could replace the grips with some that have a tapered bottom for a lot less than that. Alternatively, if you add a magwell, that stock grips will fit perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward, Tisas would be wise to offer this pistol with a set of fixed, high-profile combat sights, along with a slide cut to accept a miniature reflex sight. I\u2019m not convinced a reflex sight is the best option for personal protection, but for a hunting handgun it\u2019s far superior to open sights of any type.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, it\u2019s clear Tisas has a winner with their D10. Any way you look at it, it\u2019s a lot of gun for the money. And, in today\u2019s world, that means a hell of a lot.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Editor&#8217;s Note:<\/strong>\u00a0This article originally appeared in the April 2023 issue of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gundigestservice.com\/customer\/subscribe.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gun Digest the Magazine<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>More 10mm Pistols:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-20\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<hr\/>\n<div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/storm-tactical-target-pack?path=5\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-271572\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-Targetposters-pack-GD-reduced-300-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"44-Targetposters-pack-GD-reduced-300\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-medium wp-image-271572\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/44-Targetposters-pack-GD-reduced-300-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"44-Targetposters-pack-GD-reduced-300\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\"\/><\/a>NEXT STEP: Download Your <strong>Free<\/strong> Storm Tactical Printable Target Pack<\/h3>\n<p> <strong>62 Printable MOA Targets with DOT Drills &#8211; Rifle Range in YARDS<\/strong> This impressive target pack from our friends at Storm Tactical contains <a href=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/storm-tactical-target-pack?path=5\"><strong>62 printable targets<\/strong><\/a> for rifle and handgun range use.
