I was pandering to the ".45 ACP Only" crowd don'cha know. They are slowly becoming "enlightened." It takes a while . . . . .
I had to go back to do the maff, but I just calculated that only 48.5% of my 1911 accumulation is .45 ACP (
if you don't count the real oddball that is stamped 11.25mm)
Oh. Ok
I was starting to wonder.
Actually, I just thought about the last few years. Since being closer to 60 years old than 50, my purchases have gone from 11.5mm, down to 10mm, to 38 super and my last 3-4 1911s have been 9mm.
I guess it’s a natural progression.
I was shooting my .45 Valkyrie
the other day, be cause I ran out of 9mm. I’ve been shooting the same 45 load for 30 years. 200 gr LSWC over 5.4 gr of 231, and after 100 rounds in an alloy framed commander, it just became uncomfortable enough to switch to a steel framed gun. After which my hands were aching for days.. I can still handle both 10mm and 45 in full sized steel guns, but I guess I need to adjust my ammo inventory to reflect my apparent limitations due in part to arthritis.
