A new ''wildcat'' idea?
How about a 475 Wildey shortened, from 1.198 to .900? I just had this epiphany, no numbers crunched, yet.
For me, I'm thinking, 6" barrel with compensator at around 44,000 or so PSI. It should be a heavy hitting 1911.

Cheers

Got it! I think they call in the .45acp.

Uhhhh, no, Rich. Not at 44 KPSI The 460 Rowland maybe, but not the ACP.

Re-thinking the need for a barrel part.How about a shortened 45 Wildey Mag? A 45 WM Kurz. :-)

I posted about this idea a long time ago. Use 284 Win brass and same rim size as 45ACP. Half way between the 45ACP and 50GI with a barrel swap and an opened up double stack (not sure about how hard that is). I think bullet technology and velocity makes a big diference. A 10mm should be just as effective.

I should've known, sorry boom! I've been gunwhoring on Canadian gunnutz for awhile.
Then I discovered handguns and IPSC. Happy happy joy joy!!! beer

Heck even I forgot half my ideas that half have been done before I guess. Not much that is new.

You may have inspired! Lehigh Defense, was playing with a prototype. They built one on an XD platform.
So my project has a name. 475 Lehigh.

Original loadings seem fairly anemic. A 200 grain 475 @ 1200 is yawn material to me.
However, a man could throw on a comp, some springs, judicious loads and voila! A potent package.
Right now I'm working on a 38-45ACP.
My goal is to duplicate the 38 Casull.
I bought some dies a barrel and soon a reamer.
