if you were building a 6" 1911 what caliber would you chose?

Deleted - weird double post

.454 Casull, a scaled up version of the Coonan .357s.

Having given this considerable thought I have to go with the 10 mm as you already load this yes.....

 

[Bampow]

10mm. Definitely versatile enough to go form accuracy to hogs

 

[AllenM]

I wonder what a 38 Super would do in a 6" barrel?

Probably hit some pretty good velocity with it

Yea, I dont think that will happen

 

[Beowulf]

Yea, I dont think that will happen

I don't know, seems pretty cool to me....

I was in Elmores one day and was shown a test target for a Nighthawk 10MM that was almost impossible to tell there was more than one shot.. Obviously with the right load it can be very accurate but it would also be nice for hog extermination so double duty.

I think 10mm would be groovy

 

[Kirk Freeman]

No .40 Super yet?

Well, try the .40 Super and report back to us.

 

[M67]

I like to be accepted.

I see what you did there

 

[snafu21]

1. 10mm
2 9x25 Dillon
3. 40 Super
4. 357 Sig

In that order

 

[partyboy6686]

I say do a 10mm. And let me know when it's time to take it to the range for the 1st time.lol

 

[LARGrizzly]

I am in the process of building a 6" 38 Super right now, thinking about getting it engraved once it's done.

 

[croy]

45.... because a 45 doesn't just kill the body it kills the soul

 

[DarkRose]

Did I miss any votes for .460 Rowland?

 

[AllenM]

couple of 460 Rowland. I have fooled with that round a bit. interesting

 

[Rob377]

9x23.

Maybe 9x25 Dillon? A 125 JHP at 1800 or so FPS would be cool. Throw a comp on it and knock everyone's fillings out with the shockwave. heh.

Add a comp eh? that would make for one long pistol. I see Infinity team is using a 6" for their limited class gun

 

[Disposable Heart]

9x25 would be pretty cool, like a 6" .357 Mag... would benefit from the longer barrel, bottle necked cartridge to help in the feeding department, with FMJ it practically melts through autobodies (don't ask me how I know this ) and makes a statement.

.45 ain't going to gain alot from a 6" barrel...

Every goon and his brother is trying to build a 10mm what not. That's not you Allen. Buck the system, give into the 9x25!
