Dr.Hess Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 That looks nice. Sort of modern-ish with the forward serations and grip safety bump. I personally like the A1 main spring hump, but the flat onesalso feel good. And the Turks have been making some fine weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted March 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Without ever firing the 45acp above, I picked up a "460 Rowland" kit from www.clarkcustomguns.com It's a drop in kit that increases a 45acp to near 44mag power. I also replaced the factory grip panels and got a shorter trigger. It shoots great and recoil is similar to a 357mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 I looked at my load data for that, and it is right in the middle of 44MAG power levels. Very impressive. What do you use for brass? Can you cut down 30-06 or 308? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive. What do you use for brass? Can you cut down 30-06 or 308? I was able to find factory ammo and starline brass. The brass looks just like 45 acp but 1/16 longer, although it is loaded to the same length as 45acp. It is also much stronger than standard 45 brass and not interchangeable. The new trigger, although sold as a "short trigger" is still longer than I like, so I ordered a GI surplus from Numrich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken98k Posted April 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 These things are like eating potato chips, you just cant stop a one. https://tisasusa.com/ I bought these over the last 2 months from Gunbroker for $349 to $430 each. I'm thinking about a Tank Commander 9mm now. Clockwise from the top, Service special 45, Duty 45 (now a 460 Rowland), Tank Commander 45, Carry 9mm (soon to be a 38 Super) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Those are some nice pieces. Personally, I prefer the 1911A1 spec with the arched main spring housing. I also find that an extra bump on the grip safety isn't necessary. That's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
