What type of muzzle break? 1911-45ACP

To those of you that have one or have had one, did it work? Many opinions say no on a low pressure round like 45 ACP.

In the early 90s I shot IPSC open division with a single stack 1911 45ACP.I used a Ed Brown "4 star comp"and in order to get the comp to work somewhat efficiently I used 155gr SWC bullets loaded to major.It sort of worked but when I finally got a comped 38 super I was amazed at how a high pressure round like that works the comp compared to the 45.

Truth is that compensators really dont work well in a low pressure round like the 45 and the bushing compensators are a complete waste of time(unless you want it for the appearance).Theres a reason that you cant find many manufactures making comps for the 45 and as a round the 45 doesnt recoil all that hard anyway.

Ah yea, video is a must. I wonder what happens if one primer is slower than the other!? Or if the magazine is loaded with 2 different loads/factory brands? Is there anything in the manual poo-pooing doing this?

Time will tell. In the videos the AF guy says you can mix ammo, he says hollow point and tracers.

I imagine if one primer failed to ignite powder, there wouldn't be enough energy to cycle the action off one round.

Where did you get that patch? I must have one.

There were some truly odd loads tried in order to get a comp to work on a 45 - if you look around the racing circuit now, you'll see that there are precisely zero shooters using comps on 45 cal guns.
