Some of you guys might have seen this thread: http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=88841
I'm currently wanting an autopistol to use on deer. From what's been suggested within my price range ($500), I've basicly settled on a 10mm in either a Glock 20 or 10xx Smith. But what about a 1911 converted to 10mm or even a .460 Rowland? I don't mind a bit of tinkering and I can load my own ammo.
I could purchase a Rock Island or similar budget 1911 and later convert it to another caliber as funds allow. What exactly is needed to convert a 1911 to 10mm and how much will it run? Is the Rowland powerful enough for deer at 50 to perhaps 75 yards? I noticed the velocities were quite high with 230gr bullets.
I would like a 10mm of some form, but it would be nice to hear what you guys have to say on the issue and use of the Rowland.
