paddy- I have a mech tech upper assembly for my glock 41. Its a hoot to shoot sending 230 grains of lead down range. Pair it with a 30 round kriss magazine and you cant have much more fun.Actually could be more like .50$ for powder, but yeah, 45 seems a lot more fun for only a little more dough.
Now, who makes 45acp rifles anyway?
I cast my own bullets for everything. A lot of my bullets I do end up powder coating but I shoot straight cast alox lubed bullets out of my glock 41 and mech tech rifle in 45acp. No issues with lead in either firearm. If you want to reload 9 and shoot a ton, seriously look into casting your own. spend $50 on a lee bottom pour lead pot, a 2 cavity bullet mold and you might as well buy an appropriate bullet sizing die while making an order. especially if you are powder coating. A lot of people have some difficulty shooting cast lead at 9mm velocities. I'd honestly just knock out many issues beginner reloaders(especially bullet casters) experience by doing a quick cheap and easy tumble coat in some harbor freight red powder coat. Once you get a little experience under your belt, you can mess around with more traditional bullet lubes, alloys, gas checks, bullet size etc etc. Everything I load is $2 a box or less 380, 38, 357, 45, 300blk, err well actually 12 gauge slugs cost me $2.50 a box.
