Howdy Folks... per the title...
Please forgive all the line breaks... trying to keep my points clear so folks will actually read them.
I really want to do this. Please either talk me out of it... or reinforce my desire to pull the trigger.
Please don't make this a revolver vs. pistol debate.
No, I'm not going to keep both.
I'm not going to mention the make/model/barrel length of my revolver because it's not important to this discussion.
I prefer pistols over revolvers... just because.
I bought my revolver before I knew of the .460 Rowland.
It's very appealing to have .44 Mag performance in such a lightweight semi-auto platform.
I'm aware that the 1911 frame will recoil more than a larger heavy revolver. I doubt that'll be a problem.
I know the conversion will cause far more wear on the 1911 frame/rails. I'm okay with that.
I'm aware that a .460 Rowland will cost more than most .44 Mag revolvers... FAR more than mine.
I visit black bear country occasionally and this is for carry self-defense. I also expect feral hogs here to grow much larger over time.
ETA #1: I voted "yes" because I think the .460 Rowland is kewl.
ETA #2: Yes... I carry bear spray.
