I've read some old timers instill that this bullet is too heavy for the 1911 and rough on it. I don't buy it. Only 4% heavier than the 230 ball. 70 yrs. ago Keith freaked everyone out by listing a hot load he worked up for the N-frame S&W, folks are still reeling! Loaded to normal ball levels it should be a real hammer.

The pedigree is a .45 Colt adaptation of the heralded 429421 but the nose shortened to feed in a 1911 mag. How wrong can that be?!

My wonder gun can be transformed into a 10-shot, pocket, .45 Colt! We'll just see.
