I am interested in a 10mm 1911 but want a milled receiver for a reflex sight — preferably a Trijicon RMR.

I am aware of the Dan Wesson — it is a bit too modern for my taste.

Are there other makes of 1911s chambered in 10mm that are factory ready for reflex sights or factory installed with them?

I believe Springfield made a TRP model in 10mm with a RMR cut slide. Other than that, you will most likely have to have the slide custom milled. I used a base from EGW that I installed into the sight cut and mounted a red dot on a Rock Island 6 inch 10mm

Kimber has a couple:

KHX Custom (OI)

and the version with a lower Picatinney accessory rail, KHX Custom/RL (OI)

Both have a milled slide and come with a Trijicon TYPE 2 RMR installed.

Let us know what you decide on, Lane. That would be a very capable handgun.

Lane, found this:

"Several folks make a reflex sight mounting plate with a Novak dovetail in the bottom that mounts in place of your rear sight, so no milling needed. the easiest ones I've seen from a quick search fit the Burris Fast Fire 3 and the Vortex Razor, both of which are very popular and reliable mini reflex sights for handguns".

A cancerous gob on a sleek pistol, that can't improve shooting much if at all, one just follows the bouncing red ball, while the bad guy shoots holes in ones fat torso..

Shows you have never shot one.

They are a game changer.

Yessir. I have looked them. They just sit too high and look more obtrusive. And, if milled, you can add backup conventional sights.

Howdy Bill,
I hope you are well and your back is treating you kindly.

I am going to go with the Kimber if I can get one…which is the problem these days it seems.

I had the dovetail mounted one and it worked pretty good. I removed it because the particular model red dot I had would shut off after so long and it would render the pistol useless if I needed it quick. I Will say that target acquisition was very quick and it was very accurate when you would turn it on.

Lane, do yourself a favor and take a look through the Holosun 507C before buying a reflex sight. Holosun and Trijicon allegedly came to some sort of agreement about design similarities. At the range where I work, I have handled pistols with Burris Fastfires, the Vortex Vipers and Venoms, the Leupold and the Trijicon and I find that Holosun reticle with the 32-minute circle and the 2-minute dot by far the easiest to acquire.
Back is finally coming round after surgery No. 4, and thanks for asking. I pray all is gangbusters at Lane's house.

All good here my friend, thanks for the info, and good to hear the back is making decent progress.

I had one I sent into Fusion Firearms and had them mill the receiver for one. It works out great and wasn’t too expensive
