How many "registered" Razorback owners are on this Forum? Would you please either tell your stories, post pictures, or both!

I've probably heard all about them on other forums,but just like the Gospel it never gets old!

While I don't have much interest in the 10mm platform, I would like to get a hold of a -150 Razorback.
Don't have one of the first 150 but would like to i do have a Rz-10 and a 10mm Cbob

I was suposed to get adjustable sights as noted but when I saw it I thought it was perfect the way it was so I never complained. So six years later, I wish you all here a very Merry Christmas. And thanks for the trip down memory lane.

The "registered" Razorback crowd...

Were/are 10mm Auto pistol "fanatics." These began the "resurgence" in the interest for the cartridge. Bob Serva knew that the 10mm is 'the most versatile autopistol cartridge extant' and did something about it.

Now that he's producing the Fusion Arms line, his ardor for then 10mm shines even brighter! The 10mm is such a passion for both Bob and the Razorback crowd, that a "registered" Razorback (along with it's original owner) is a legend that parallels the "registered" S&W .357 "N" framed revolvers! We are a part of firearms history! Of this, the original owners are, and should be, justifiably proud! I know that I am!

Long live the Razorback! Long live the 10mmAuto cartridge! Long live Bob Serva! :flag::notworthy:

About 5 years ago I bought one of the earlier S&W Model 610 revolvers. It is a 1991-vintage 6 1/2" barreled type, with a non-fluted cylinder. It's one of the most accurate revolvers that I own! :biggrin: Talk about a "keeper!" This revolver is defininitely not for sale... at ANY price!

they are bringing out the 6 1/2 Also.. I got one of the first 4"s out .. Cant wait to pick it up how about a pic of yours?
I don't have a digital camera, scanner, or access to any of the above. I only wish that I did.

You don't understand what you've been missing! The 10mm is so special that the resurgent interest in the cartridge is due to it's matchless versatility! The 10mm Auto Cartridge can do ANYTHING any other medium-to-large-bore autopistol cartridge can do, including hunting medium, to moderately large game. I have even heard of moose being taken at close range with the 10mm pistol! While I'll grant you, that is rare, but I wouldn't be afraid to take it anywhere that I would hunt with the .41 Remington Magnum.

The key to such hunting is to use the Double Tap 200-grain loads that have been clocked at 1280 fps from a 5" 1911-pattern pistol (It was a Dan Wesson Razorback and the man killed a moose @ close range.) Remember: That particular load generates approximately 728 fpe at the muzzle.

This thread is getting off the beaten path. Here is an image of a lowly second owners pistola. My second DW.

Not the greatest picture, but it will have to do. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for me the previous owner had to thin the herd some.

Thank you! The "original" Razorbacks were truly special! These were the genesis of the 10mm "revival." 99% of these were (and are) nearly perfect when they left the Dan Wesson Norwich, N.Y. plant.

Not only were they "made to order' for the participants in this exercise, but exceeded the accuracy control which the "other" manafacturer never had.
Got a post CZ one, but it's a keeper.
