Reloader Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I have been talking about using my 1911 for a short range hunting rig. I figure with practice it should be effective out to 50 yards or so, however, I was talking to my father the other day who told me about a little $300 conversion kit for just about any full size 1911. Take a look at this: http://www.clarkcustomguns.com/rowland.htm#kit It basically amounts to a new barrel, a new recoil spring and new guide rod and link spring. Field strip and reassemble with the new parts, maybe 1 minute. But it turns your 1911 .45 ACP into a compensated .460 Rowland with ballistics similar to a .44 mag. Notably better with heavier bullets. .44 mag. 180gr Hollow point at 1610fps (power factor 289.8) .460 Rowland 185gr Hollow point at 1550fps (power factor 286.75) .44 mag. 240gr Hollow point at 1180fps (power factor 283.2) .460 Rowland 230gr Hollow point at 1340fps (power factor 308.2) So OTPG, would this meet entry minimums? This is definitely going to be my next "pistol" purchase, well right after that Ruger .22 pistol I want... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
