It works well for me and makes recoil recovery quick. I've got my Shockwave set up with that, a TLR-7 light on the left of the handguard as a hand stop, and a Primary Arms 1x prism on top. Before seeing his videos, I would have scoffed at a setup like this, but I can make hits fast, and also at distance with slugs.

I have a stainless single seven that really, really wants to be a grown-up 32-20 brass-handled Bisley! Please take my money! Hahaha!

Dear Ruger, How about a customisable single action revolver ordering web sight? Pick one each: Frame size and type Stainless or blued Barrel length Grip frame style Grips Sights Caliber Sounds more like what Ronnie Wells might be planning...

And one super Nuclear 41 x 1.450" Ronnie Stupid for Mr Bcelliott, my favorite scientist. WOOOOO-HOOO!

If they made one in 327 Federal or 45 Colt, I'd buy one.

I shoot a lot of 9x23 Win in 1911s and a Tanfoglio Witness Match (reamed 9mm barrel using 38 Super magazines). Winchester brass will handle 55k psi easily, but it is hard to find. If you want to get brass but can't find it, you can use Starline 9x23 Comp, which has the correct outside taper and rim size but thinner case walls. On the plus side, the Starline case holds more powder but runs at a lower pressure.
However, your other option is to use cut down 350 Legend brass. Winchester just dusted off the 9x23 brass design, lengthened it, and turned down the rim to 223 size to create the 350 Legend. (The 9x23 is larger than 223 in the case head.) This 350 Legend brass has the same web thickness and will handle the same 55k psi as the 9x23 brass. You just have to adjust your extractor to grab the slightly smaller rim.
9x23 Win can send light bullets at crazy fast velocities but recoils much less than 10mm. With judicious loading, you can easily get a 147 grain going around 1450 fps as well.

If your 1911 has a fully supported ramped barrel, then the main limitation is brass strength. With case bulging eliminated due to head support in both 9mm and 38 Super, the Super can run about 150 fps faster than hot 9mm. 9x23 Winchester can add another 150 fps on top of that due to its rifle-thickness case head (Winchester brass only).

The .450 Bushmaster will work as a rook rifle with powder puff loads. I use this bullet cast as a solid and powder coated, weighing about 325-329 grains depending upon alloy: www.mp-molds.com/product/mp-45-ruger-only-plain-base-hollow-point-4-cavity-mold/The load is the above bullet very deep-seated (as in, well inside the case mouth--see photo below!) over 3.0 grains of Titewad, with the extra space between the powder and bullet filled with a couple of grains of pillow stuffing. (I load the same in .45 Colt with the bullet seated normally.) This is a very fast powder, and you need to be careful, but the noise is less with most of the pressure curve over very quickly and internally. The velocity averages 580 fps, with the muzzle pressure estimated well below 300 psi, so the report ends up sounding like a loud air compressor venting or nail gun or something similar. Of course, the downside is the rainbow trajectory, so range is severely limited. However, and this was amazing to me, penetration in water jugs is astounding--approaching SIX FEET! Part of the deep penetration is most certainly due to the 640 bullet shape, as I have not gotten as good results with other similar bullets, but this is no toy, even at these pellet gun velocities.

I've had three 5-1/2" .41 mag Redhawks, and still have one, but will always have at least one!

I have a 357pd .41 mag lightweight, and I echo all the above. I'm not worried about the lock, though. I just took it out and replaced it with a slug with this lock delete kit: www.originalprecision.com/lock-delete-kit.htmlHas worked great so far! I also have one in my John Ross .500 S&W.

I bought a 357pd in .41 mag because there wasn't a Model "69" Smith in .41 mag!

That is what it was designed for. Thanks for making these. I'm anxiously awaiting to try it out. hounddogman, what height and width did you select? Also, could you post a photo of the sight picture? I have a .327 blue half-lug GP100 that might benefit from this rear sight with the front bead.

This is just a deep-seated 9x23 Winchester, which operates at 55k psi. Any 1911 or full size Witness pistol capable of using a 38 Super magazine can be rechambered from 9mm to 9x23 Win and utilize the full-length cartridge. With the right powders and careful handloading, you can get a 124 grain to 1600 fps or a 147 grain to 1400 fps in a fully-supported barrel easily and without danger. It's a 9- or 17-shot 357 magnum with much less recoil that is only a barrel and springs change away. Also, no comp is necessary. Not a 357. Definitely. Maybe close to the lightest 357's, but a heavier bullet load favors the 357. Over 150grs is 357 only. Agreed--about equivalent to light-bullet .357 ballistics, but the .357 quickly pulls away above that weight. But the 9x23 shines as a defensive cartridge because the 125 grain bullet has been shown to be well-suited to that task, and it holds more capacity in the auto pistol.

Happy Birthday, Fermin! Glad to see so many of your ideas are being realized lately.
