224 BOZ

I think it's a .40 cal headstamp, or a necked down 10mm case so it should be what 26ish?

I remember a Smokin Hole pistol in some gun rag, SV set up for .224 boz.

How about a reg'lar comp?

and stick the front site out there, instead of on the slide.

I think that the owners use them mostly for varmint hunting and playing around.

Yes, it is a 10mm necked down to a 224 bullet.

Your not dealing with a very powerful cartridge. 40-45gr. bullets at 2200-2400fpm. Less than a 100pf. The recoil is a bit different because of the slower burning powder. Sort of feels mushy.

I don't know if a comp would work very well, it might slow the slide down too much. I'm not sure it even needs one.

The owner of the last one that I built, left the end of the barrel plain. I think that he is going to play around with something different.

10mm down to take .223 bullets as I remember. Long ago STI had one as one of their table-guns at matches, but the 'inventor' of the Boz didn't like civilian sales much and kept claiming IP rights on various things. Looked like a .22 LR at one and and a .40 at the other ;)
