I saw my first one at Gander Mountain yesterday. Strange, since they have yet to get even one of the new SR-1911s.

The Williams Firesights on it are very easy to see, three green fiber optic dots. The rear sight extends farther to the rear than factory, but not enough to be a problem. They've already been out a year or so, I have thought about putting them on my Six. The front looks a little fragile for frequent holster use.

The gun itself, I'm not so impressed. One online review I read bragged about the "chambers aligning perfectly with the ejector rod". When the cylinder clicks, you roll it back against the pawl, and the ejector rod hits exactly between chambers. No worse than unloading a Six, though.

One neat point, with the gate open you can load two rounds per "click", they are so close together.

Looks wise, the cylinder notches look a little odd, they nearly overlap.

Mostly though, I think I'm still quite happy with my Single Six. The Ten's sights could be good for some, easily added to a Six, but too fragile for me. I imagine the 10 round cylinder would just cause me to waste ammo.
