Description
The Tisas 1911 Carry 10mm Bobtail Gray packs the 10mm Auto cartridge into a steel commander-length 1911 with an Ed Brown-style bobtail, gray Cerakote finish and G10 grips. It holds 8+1 rounds and ships with two magazines.
Tisas 1911 Carry 10mm Bobtail Gray Overview
Our store lists this pistol as the C10 Yukon; Lipsey’s and Tisas catalog it as the 1911 Carry in 10mm (factory model 10100802). It uses a steel frame, which matters with a cartridge this strong, plus a 4.25-inch barrel, fiber optic fixed sights, 25 LPI checkering, an ambidextrous thumb safety and Series 70 internals. Overall length is 7.75 inches and weight is about 2.25 lb. The result is a compact, flat 10mm that rides more comfortably than a full-size hunting pistol.
10mm in a Commander Frame
10mm Auto delivers far more energy than 9mm or 45 ACP, which is why hikers, hunters and anglers in bear and hog country carry it. In a 4.25-inch steel 1911, recoil is stout but controllable with practice. Velocity drops somewhat compared with a 5-inch barrel, so heavy hardcast or deep-penetrating loads are the usual choice for woods carry.
Ammunition Cost and Choice
Full-power 10mm ammunition costs noticeably more than 9mm and is not stocked everywhere. Loads vary widely, from mild 40 S&W-level target ammo to true magnum-class rounds, so choose a load for the job and test it in your gun. Lighter practice ammunition helps build skill without the punishment of full-power loads.
Fiber Optic Sights
The fiber optic front and rear sights are bright and fast in daylight, a good fit for outdoor carry. They do not glow in true darkness the way tritium does. If you plan to use the pistol for night duty around camp, a weapon light or tritium upgrade is worth considering.
Bobtail and Carry Comfort
The bobtail mainspring housing removes the sharp rear corner of the grip, reducing printing and pressure against the body. The G10 grips and 25 LPI front strap checkering keep a firm hold when hands are wet or cold. You will need a holster cut for a bobtail commander 1911; chest rigs from several makers fit the frame for backcountry use.
Durability and Maintenance
Steel construction is the right call for 10mm, but hot loads still accelerate wear. Replace the recoil spring on schedule, inspect the slide stop and frame for peening and keep the gun lubricated. Series 70 internals give a crisp trigger with no firing pin block, so treat the thumb safety as essential when carrying cocked and locked.
State Laws and Ownership
A few states restrict handgun models through a roster or cap magazine capacity, and some limit hunting with handguns or specific cartridges. The 8-round magazines are compliant in most places. Check your state and local rules, including hunting regulations, before ordering.
