Remember: Ammo will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no ammo.
If this was 10 years ago, I'd just pull a new barrel out of my stash. Sadly those went away in a move.
I guess I'll look elsewhere.
I just picked up a Tisas "Devil Ray" Bobtail Commander 1911 45 and pulled the barrel and plunked every load I had and they all dropped just perfect. Even my Lee 200gr RF Cast loads. Hopefully I'll get to the range soon to report on its functionality.
So far, I've not seen anything I don't like (except maybe the plastic base plates and followers on the Mec-Gar mags that came with it - but I was forwarned).
