The Omega 10mm from last year of production in '93, 6" ported barrel, polygonal rifling, duel extractors, full length guide rod, linkless barrel lock up and no barrel bushing. Needless to say it is a tack driver and has less recoil then my Browning HP and throws the brass only couple feet back over my right shoulder.

Love the 10mm.  My Delta Elite throws the brass all over the place, front, back, short, long etc.  I also have a Glock 20, but the Delta is much nicer.

My DE does same thing, can't use a tarp as no way I can tote a 40x40' tarp. mad

The DW RZ10 drops them pretty much about 10' at about 2 o'clock, the Omega dropes them about 3' to 6' at 5 o'clock.

I'll be working up some light load 170gr L/SWC using Trail Boss this week for range use in the Omega and Razorback. The RZ will have to be cleaned more to prevent lead build up, but the $$$ saved using lead will put cost more in line with 22 rimfire with cost being about $6.50 per 50 rounds.

My 10mm brass does tend to go flying as well, but I must say that although my RZ-10 spits the brass pretty far, they all tend to land in about the same spot, my Glock 20 just flings them wherever.  It's funny about the tarp too, I can totally relate.

Very cool! I've wanted one of those since the first Peters-Stahl design was imported here, and it's in my favorite auto pistol cartridge.

My Delta Gold Cup will pitch brass about 20-30 feet away at 4:30, but they all land in the same place. The PM7-10 throws them in the same place about 4 feet away. Tarp works well on both of them, however the Javelina is totally unpredictable.

Well I sent it to S/A Custom Shop for extended beavertail, Cmdr Hammer and matching adjustable trigger this past Thursday and the got it less then 23 hrs later. I bought a both way shipping by FedEx for $50 and if it passes their inspection it should be back before end of the week.

The palm safety in the 4 magazine's I shot thru the gun about did a job in between thumb and finger, had to have that fixed or get rid of gun. But I wanted to keep because it's a tack driver and just fun to see the eyes get big when it comes out of the case. Hope to eventually get photo in low light, fot blast effect.

On another front I put in an order for another Razorback with Keith, but it will be a 38 Super identical to the RZ he did for me. Nope I don't know the cost, I'll find that out the day I pay for it when it's finished.

Well the Omega is back from Springfield's custom shop and much improved. I was afraid the black hammer and beavertail would stand out on the parkerized finish. I wanted bright trigger to go with extractor and barrel.
