10 mm Auto measurements?

[David Rose]

Erb at Bar-Sto just told me that barrel/side specs are totally different than for 45s. Niemi, you got any specs on these? I'm looking for lug/hood measurements on both barrel and slide.

I ordered the frame and slide for the 10 mm today from Caspian. Gary confirmed that the .382" barrel was in spec for 10 mm. He said their slides (hood side to side recess) in this caliber measure .379".

Erb at Bar-Sto also told me that the hood recesses are normally off-center in this caliber, as is the barrel hood. I didn't get a chance to ask Gary about that. Guess I'll wait until it gets here to find out. Just fairly different than the 45...

Colt Delta Elite on the left and Baer on the right. The camera was more or less directly above the Colt slide to show the offset clearly. Slight difference in treatments of the ejection ports, but both hood recesses are nearly equal at around 0.375. I have a Barsto 10mm barrel that will probably find it's way into the Delta. The hood width on this particular barrel is right at 0.460. Maybe the photo will give you an idea of what you are looking for.

Awwww! Thank you sir! That gives me great peace while I'm waiting. :)
