Full-Size 10mm Power in a Long-Slide 1911
The Eagle XL10P Swamp Snake is a full-size 1911-style pistol chambered in 10mm Auto with an extended 6" barrel and slide for maximum velocity and a longer sight radius. Iver Johnson Arms+2Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore+2
That longer slide and barrel combo makes the Eagle XL10P an excellent choice for hunting, woods carry, range work, and long-range handgun shooting, where 10mm’s flat trajectory and heavy-hitting energy really shine.
Ported Slide & Barrel for Reduced Recoil and Muzzle Rise
One of the stand-out features of the Eagle XL10P Swamp Snake is its ported slide and ported barrel, engineered to help tame the snappy impulse of full-house 10mm. Iver Johnson Arms+2Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore+2
Vertical ports vent gases upward to counteract muzzle flip
Long slide + porting = flatter shooting and faster follow-up shots
Porting also reduces overall slide weight, improving cycling and balance
Whether you’re sending hot hunting loads or defensive ammo, the ported system helps keep the sights on target and your grip locked in.
Durable All-Steel Construction: 1045 Frame & 4140 Slide
This is a true steel-frame 1911 built to handle 10mm:
The robust all-steel build gives the pistol a solid, confidence-inspiring feel, ideal for high-round-count range sessions and demanding field conditions.
Swamp Snake Hydrographic Finish – Striking Camo With Attitude
What really sets this model apart visually is its Swamp Snake hydrographic finish on both slide and frame. Iver Johnson Arms+2Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore+2
Unique snake-scale pattern with earthy swamp tones
Hydrographic application provides a distinctive, custom-style look
Gives the pistol a predatory, reptilian aesthetic that stands out in any 1911 collection
If you like your 1911 to have both performance and personality, the Swamp Snake treatment delivers in a big way.
G-10 Snake Skin Grips: Aggressive Texture & Secure Control
To match the theme and enhance control, the Eagle XL10P wears black G-10 grips with a snake skin texture. Iver Johnson Arms+2Impact Guns+2
G-10 composite resists moisture, temperature changes, and heavy use
Snake-scale texturing provides an aggressive, non-slip grip, even with sweat or gloves
Thin enough for comfortable carry, yet grippy enough for hard recoil management
These aren’t just stylistic—they help you lock the pistol into your hands when running stout 10mm loads.
Enhanced 1911 Features for Serious Shooters
The Eagle XL10P Swamp Snake comes from the factory with a host of upgraded 1911 features aimed at reliability, accuracy, and shootability: Iver Johnson Arms+1
LPA “TRT” fully adjustable white-dot rear sight with dovetail front sight – dial in your point of impact for your preferred 10mm load
Front and rear angled slide serrations – excellent traction for press checks and slide racking, even with wet hands or gloves
Extended slide stop & thumb safety – easier to reach and operate without breaking your grip
Skeletonized 3-hole trigger & skeleton hammer – reduce weight and provide a crisp, clean trigger break
Beavertail grip safety with memory cut – promotes a consistent, high grip while preventing hammer bite
Lowered & flared ejection port – enhances reliability and consistent ejection
Slightly beveled magwell – smoother, faster reloads under pressure
Each of these enhancements adds up to a 1911 that’s ready for serious use right out of the box.
10mm Long-Slide – Built for Hunting, Defense & Range Work
Thanks to its 6" barrel, ported slide, and 10mm chambering, the Eagle XL10P Swamp Snake is ideal for:
Woods carry / backcountry defense where 10mm is valued for penetration and power
Hog and medium-game hunting with appropriate loads
Range and competition where a long sight radius and flat shooting characteristics matter
Collectors and enthusiasts who want a visually striking yet fully functional 1911
The combination of long-slide accuracy, ported recoil control, and 10mm ballistics makes this pistol far more than just a showpiece.
