PARA or STI

.45 doublestacks are harder to keep running.

Mag condition is much more critical, and the least little bit of dirt can make them barf.

If I wanted a 10 round .45, it would be a singlestack with long mags.

For more rounds of .45, find an old cheap Para. STI mags don't hold near as many rounds.

The Glocks, XDs and M&Ps seem to run in .45...but I don't think that's what he's looking for.

He want's a .45 for HM. Why do you guys keep on bringing up .40? :lol:

I'd say neither. Just get an SVI or Techwear magwell and 10 rdrs (if you don't already have them) and stick it on your SS gun.

I could not find a large magwell for singel stack any links? thanks

The Techwear website got horribly hacked a while back and I am not sure if they have recovered. Go read the magwell stuff in the Dealers Forum http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showforum=107

You will find the SVI magwell about 3/4 way down this page: http://sviguns.com/store/

Later,

Hi everyone,

Just to add my 2 cents. I have a SVI short dustcover limited gun, a Dawson/Jarret Para P16 and a couple of CZ's (A older IPSC Standard and a newer Tac Sport) Now for the money I do not think that you can beat a CZ Tac Sport. Easy to find for under $1000.00 which includes 3 mags and spare parts. I would add a couple of extra mags and a set of Angus Thin Aluminum grips and a Magwell and you are way under $1300.00. Now I like a heavier gun as I am not in love with the way a major 40 tracks in recoil and I do not think the transitions are that much slower than a light gun. I will probably have one of the slides lightned just to see it it tracks a little better. Plus if you add Angus new basepads, you get a easily reloadable 20 rounds and the cost is way under what a Para or STI mag would run.

The simply changing the magwell, over sized mag release button on my single stack sounds like a very good idea I have an extra SS that I can dedicate to 3 gun cool. thanks Chuck

And thanks for the links :cheers:

You are probably correct. But two things one I want to stay with 1911 platform and two I am not looking for a 40. I am looking for .45

Doesn't HM now allow the .40/10mm for pistols??

In any case I don't see any problems with getting a hi-cap

45 to run. One of my buddys shoots an SV 45 that has no problems

at all. He shoots a 230 grain Precision Bullet over 4 grains of Clays at 1.245".

The gun never burps. I can get 16 rounds into one of his mags I played with but it's not

a "load to" mag. They work better with 15 rounds.

That load is way over major but feels pretty soft.
