@ironmikehallowween Год назад

I am glad to see them making this pistol. Many other calibers have their niche, but the 45 is the most versatile auto loader caliber in existence. From 120 grain at blistering speeds, to 255 grain hard cast stompers. 45 ACP, +p, 45 Super, 45 SMC, in the same pistol, all the way to the might 460 Roland with a kit. Given some attention from ammunition companies, this caliber is just beginning. Thanks for the video

@bishopsteiner7134 Год назад

while 9mm does almost anything one can ask from a pistol in modern loadings, I do still love 45, especially on a suppressed pistol/PCC. People make a huge deal about capacity, but outside of a service pistol, if you need a 17 rd mag? You are probably screwed already. But in a house, self defense? I'll take a sub sonic, big fat 230 grain pill thru a suppressor, and keep some modicum of my hearing, thanks.

If it does, then this could be a great host for some high power .45 SUPER rounds, provided we can get heavier spring weights etc for it. if .45 SUPER had caught on more, 10mm never wouldve become this popular. i think its time though. way more potential in the .45 case than the 10mm case.
