yeah, I get that a lot. it's the kavorka (the curse). she's been sexting me for months now. and those are the kind of women keeping our country safe! I'll definitely be hanging onto that 45 now. tell her Nacho says As-Salaam-Alaikum and lulululululululu.
Yeah I bet you do, and very modest indeed... She loved your response and is rolling...
The problem isn't finding one, it's finding one REASONABLY priced. Maybe in 10 years they will bring $1000, but the ones I've seen listed for that kind of coin remain just that, listed not SOLD!
I've never reloaded for this caliber, heard it could be tricky since the round headspaces on the mouth of the case. with the price of 45 ammo it may be the only way I can afford to shoot it. I'm also looking into the 22 conversion for the gun, a sig 220. anybody have one with the 22 conversion? hows the accuracy? the gun generaly digests anything well but havent tried snake shot or handloads yet.
The 45ACP cartridge along with 38 Special are about the easiest cartridge to reload... it's almost hard to make bad loads.
They are low pressure slow speed cartriges so you'll normally use small amount of fast burning powder.
You'll have to taper crimp the 45ACP and roll crimp the 38 Special and the best way to learn how much to crimp is to measure the crimp on a factory load with caliper and duplicate that on your load. In past 30 years I think I've loaded well ober 100k rounds of 45ACP and about 50k rounds of 38 Special. There is nothing tricky about reloading these cartridges.
I have had a Sig P220 pistol or two for past 20 years. Sig P220 series are great self-defense or service pistol but they do have some deficiencies. They have had problems with durability (frames cracking), poor quality finish/rust issues with carbon steel models and grip angle/high bore axis which results in excessive muzzle climb. Early Sig P220 (a.k.a. Browning BDA) pistols were among the first 45ACP pistol designed to feed all types of bullet profile. To this day they are among the top in terms of feed reliability. I have P220 with 22lr convesion upper that I got about 2 years ago to use as a host for a 22lr supressor. It has been fired about 2,000 rounds now and it still won't perform to my satisfaction with Remington or Federal bulk pack 22lr ammo. It works pretty good with CCI Minimag but Minimags are supersonic so it sorta defeats the purpose of the supressor. I know of two other 22lr conversion units (both for P226) and their reliability is about same as mine.
I don't need to worry about durability with the all stainless model, it's a tank. I've shot cci stingers and fed bulk pak with the 22 conversion and they are just OK, but I can't fairly judge right now with hand/wrist issues. actualy shooting better lefty (my weak hand).
