    Para Ordinance 45ACP staggered mag 3"

    Catpop - Based on your original description in other thread, thought it was a Colt 1991A1 ORM Compact (made in the 1990s). That is one of the most reliable out of the box 1911s ever made, ever. Always wanted to like the high capacity Paras. To me the compact warthog is a good looking...

    1995 Colt 45acp 1911 3" compact

    Catpop-What WC145 said + its referred to as the Old Roll Mark (ORM) 1991A1 because the Lettering on slide is no longer used (it was also introduced in 1991 and came in the government, commander and compact models). Bought my compact NIB in 1998 for less than $600. 100% reliable out of the...

    Glock Magazine Chop

    Dont be. If you already have a Glock 21 (or 20), its about $600 for the Guncrafter 50gi conversion kit. If you do not already have a Glock 21, you can get a complete frame for $250 + $600 for the Kit to get started. I found several pics that might help. First pic shows a standard G21 on...

    Glock Magazine Chop

    Can someone measure the length of a Glock 23 standard 13 round magazine and measure the length of a Glock 30 10 round magazine and tell me the measurements (from top to very bottom of mag where floor plate slides on, not to the spacer). I need to know how much longer the G23 mag is. I am...

    Glock Magazine Chop

    Thanks for your efforts Watson. Since the 50gi fits in the G21 and G30 mags, maybe there is another glock model with a double stack mag that will accept the 50gi and 45acp.

    Yeah, drinking an entire pot of strong coffee early in the am, tends to make me that way.

    Glock Magazine Chop

    For my project, I need G 21sf magazines shorter than the standard 13 round versions yet longer than the G 30 11 round magazines. Does anyone know of a source that can shorten the length of Glock magazines? I can get a semi auto pistol that fires both the 50gi and 45 acp by getting what I...

    300 gr 45 acp

    FYI, I am not advocating for mega penetrating loads for home defense. I know 300 to 350gr, low psi and low fps ammo is already available for the 50gi, and I am just searching for the same thing in 45acp. Yeah, your right, the negative comments can be a drag, but it is a public forum, so I...

    300 gr 45 acp

    Just a side note. Guncrafters Industries, the home of the 50gi round, quality 1911 type pistols and the glock conversion kits, just informed me of a round they sell that I did not know of. As you all know, the 50gi is a 45 acp on steriods. It flys at lower psi & fps like the 45 acp with...

    Got it. Great reading. Thanks StrawHat.;) So far, unable to contact Robert Sauter. Today, I did speak with John Buchanan of Buchanan Ammunition. He is a very nice guy. They no longer make ammunition, due to a beneficial business arrangement and not for negative reasons. He said...

    300 gr 45 acp

    Owner of Buchanan Ammunition was posting on another forum in a thread concerning 45 cal. man stoppers in 2008. See his posting in part, "Hello, My name is John Buchanan of Buchanan Ammunition.....NwCP also makes the Wood Shed bullet that has a rebated boat tail and truncated nose. It comes...

    300 gr 45 acp

    Thanks for everyones comments. Some of your comments are very common responses. Thats why in part, Robert (Bob) Campbell, prolific gun writer, did the testing for the article. He wanted to find out for himself. He found to his suprise that the 300 gr. 45acp fired from a 1911 type pistol...

    300 gr 45 acp

    Hello Everyone, I like heavy and slow bullets for self defense. Trying to decide if I am going to go from the 45 acp to the 50 gi caliber with a Speer 325 grain 50 gi as tested by Taffin http://www.handloads.com/loaddata/taffin.asp?Caliber=50%20GI&Weight=All&type=Handgun&Order=Powder&Source=...

    .50gi pistols

    I am searching for a method of obtaining .50gi caliber semi auto, all metal, da/sa, exposed hammer pistols. The inventor of the .50gi, Guncrafters Industries, does not offer such pistols or conversion kits for this type of pistol. Does anyone know of a gunsmith or shop that could convert an...

    How Many Carry a 1911 with FMJ Ammo?

    "....so FMJ's and their reliability and superior pentration is a good enough choice, in my opinion. Anyone else less than enchanted with JHP's in the .45?" No. Any potiental edge I can get I will take. In my Colt 1991A1s I do not compromise 100% reliablity with JHPs. They have feed and...

    Mag capacity vs Caliber

    Considering single stack vs double stack, calibers and ammo type, choices of semi auto pistols, environments and potential threats, concealed and open carry, home defense, legality, personal experience and preferences, I choose 8 to 11 rounds of 50GI. Have no regrets when possible.:D
