| Does anyone know if there are any .45 high cap magazines greater than 15 rounds that are compatible with a Para Ordnance frame? |
| On my SX16-40 limited, I get 19 round in the stock mags with base exstenders (read with the exstended base the mags still passes the 140MM rule). Also with the extra weight of a SA mag well, a tunsten guide rod with 22 lb spring, the 40 running MPF of 166 (180 gr, VV n320 5.0 long loaded to 1.180), it has dam near no recoil to speak of (recoils like a auto 22LR pistol). |
I don't carry the 18rd mags anywhere, but for bedside comfort they work well. Let's not forget, handguns are defensive by nature. They are weak and underpowered and should not allow us to *expect* the bad guy to drop. Ezyman: only problem I might see with 10mm is recoil. If you reduce the load to something more controllable, then you basically have an extra long 40 caliber cartrige. |
Maybe it depends on the gun. For me full power 10mm loads give significantly more muzzle rise. I have never considered 45ACP to be a tough or big recoiling gun with standard pressure 230gr loads. To me the 45 feels like a slow push where some 10mm and 40S&W loads are more "snappy". Of course, perception can't really be debated, so I'll shut up now.

for IPSC, capacity is everything. if you take a stock 14 rd mag, and add the dawson baseplate you can stuff 18 rds in there, but it will be a beotch to seat.. good for the mag you load when its your turn at the buzzer, 19 rds in the gun will clear many stages without a reload. additional mags should run 17 rds so it will seat reliably. These would be hard to conceal, as the baseplate sticks out an inch beyond the already long grip. the 20 round mags are available, but are lousy quality. I have one, if you want to see your rounds nose-dive in the magazine rather than chamber, you can get one too. The 20 is also too long for the 140mm rule in IPSC. |
