Reviving an old school single stack racegun

Nope thats a $595 dollar mil-spec with about $595 worth of parts added on... I did it all myself :D I think I am going to blue the comp to match the gun... to me it looks weird
 
Just recieved my slide from RK today. I am very happy with it, nice dovetail cut for the sight, and a good job reworking the barrell. I will have to start a photobucket account to post some pics. Looks great!

South of the border I think there's a lot stronger argument for .40 with the increased carrying capacity, up here we're limited to 10 rounds so same number of changes per stage.

I shoot and reload .45 and the real cost difference to .40, as Freedom Ventures pointed out is brass...it magically disapears before they've even finished scoring my stage :rolleyes: I know I'm just a beginner, but I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to come away with more than half of what I started with. :confused: I think next year I'm going to start stamping it and seeing how much of it I end up buying back off of CGN EE..

That's a great argument for the reason I use MOON CLIPS!!:dancingbanana::D

In my favour, I have several thou of .45 brass, right now I have more than I would need for a long time. I am going to play around working up a nice soft shooting load, will start with 200gr but my intent is to use 230gr RN. Also will try different spring weights, etc... and dry fire alot so I can nail my reloads good. I agree it takes alot more attention to nail a good reload on a single stack compared to a widebody gun, but paying attention during the reload is the key. I hope that learning to shoot this gun well will improve my skills as when I pick up my Open gun with the big honking magwell I have on it, nailing a reload will be like throwing the mag in the back of my 1/2 ton.

I agree,...my reloads are not much faster if any faster comparing using a magwell in standard:shotgun: to my production gun. Only benefit is sometimes reloading while well into my movement,..(although I know it should be done before the first step is complete),..#### happens. The Key is paying attention and using that fast-slow fast technique that Eric G. emphasizes..:wave:
 
I been wanting a Smith 45acp with moon clips for a while... I dont like chasing my brass all over... but really love an autoloading pistol
