This review of the Rock Island Armory Tac Ultra MS 10mm 1911 highlights initial reliability issues, specifically failures to eject and extract, occurring within the first three magazines. The presenter discusses potential causes including magazine feeding problems, the need for more lubrication, and the possibility of a faulty ejector. Solutions explored include using different ammunition (ball ammo), upgrading to Wilson Combat magazines, and installing an EGW mag catch to improve feed ramp alignment. The presenter emphasizes the need for a reliable 10mm for backcountry defense against predators like bears, noting the pistol's all-steel construction contributes to manageable recoil, even less snappy than a 9mm.

The Rock Island Armory TAC Ultra MS in 10mm offers an impressive package for its retail price of around $700. It features a 4.25-inch barrel, fiber optic front sight, adjustable rear sight, ambidextrous safety, and aggressive VZ Grips. While the 10mm caliber provides significant power and recoil, the pistol's features contribute to manageable handling and accuracy. The included magwell aids in reloads, making it a compelling option for enthusiasts looking to experience the 1911 platform in a potent caliber without a high entry cost.
