Which calibre would be best in a 2011 i make myself? Money is not an issue, so if you say 9mm please be talking on the merits of the caliber itself, but i dont handload so dont suggest 10mm because i can handload a bearassholesestroyer round
>>650682209mmwhy?>but i dont handload so dont suggest 10mm
>>65068220if you're not going with 9mm, maybe 30sc? round count. it supposedly exceeds a .380, and you can fit a lot more of them into a magazine.
>>65068220>Which calibre would be bestThere is no "best" unless you know what you want to do with the gun.>10mm for bearsSo sick of this retarded meme for fat fucks scared of black bears. 10mm was designed to be a pistol round effective at 100 yards because Jeff Cooper was a sperg who believed that mattered.t. 10mm fanboy
>>650682205.7x28
>>65068244what draws you in particular to 10mm?
>>65068237Please direct me to where i can procure a .30 sc barrel for a 1911, i do suppose i could grab a used nighthawk and frankenstein a .30 sc 2011 but fitting would be weird because you can only remove material
>>65068247It was my first pistol because like all noobs I didn't understand that irl shootability matters more than anything else and I thought it would be a good all around caliber. Now I collect long slide 10mms because hehe boom boom. I hike near the northern border and carry a g45 or shield plus with flatnose 9mm because shit is too heavy and unwieldy to hike with if you actually want it handy.
>>65068247>>65068269Also people dog on manufacturers underloading 10mm but the great variety of possible loads and projectile choice is a strength of the cartridge. Hot 10mm is not something you'd want to use for self defense because it's hard to control for even veteran shooters. I suspect the main reason manufacturers underload common 10mm is because most .40 cal expanding projectiles are designed for 40 SW velocities. Gold dots in particular.
>>65068220>but i dont handloadBetter start
>>6506822038 Super Comp
>>65068220Are you trying to compete with a major caliber handgun or minor caliber handgun? That's why you're getting a 2011, right? For pistol competitions?
>>65068220.45 acp, just like God intended.
>>65068933Underrated answer.>>65068959Also a good one. There needs to be more .45 2011s.
