Old School Specialty Pistol...You can do WHAT with a 1911 frame?

[ErnieBishop]

Finally being able to get a Pachmyer Dominator, has been a handgun that I have wanted since they first came out.
This one started out life is a 308 Winchester. Factory barrel shot very good.
I had it re-barreled to 6.5 Creedmoor.
Chris Rhodes/Bayside Custom Gunworks did all the custom work on this, and the trigger pull is fantastic for a 1911. Scope is a long eye relief Leupold.
I chronographed it with the 140 grain A-Max/H-4350/Fed primers/Hornady brass, and then proceeded to verify my drops out to 500 yards.
At 100 yards I used my MINI rest with the small field bag.
Zeroed my turrets, and then shot from the standing position using Bog Gear and I shot at 200 yards, 250 yards, 300 yards, 350 yards, 400 yards, and 500 yards.
Video of shooting at 500 yards is the link below

I had a lot of fun shooting this handgun.

That's cool...never saw one. Wish that video was longer so I could see how you load it.

OS OK, it has a small lever for a bolt handle. The bolt head slides back& forth on rails and resembles a shell holder. No ejection- you slide the shell in &out. My friend used his exclusivley for everything from squirrels to deer for years. His was mounted on a 1911 frame with the wide hammer and long trigger. It was/is a shooter.

VERY cool. I gave up on owning one of those years ago. Maybe I'll start looking again...

Springfield Armory also made one but it was a break open with the barrel latch extending down through the mag well. It was called the SASS(Springfield Armory Single Shot).

Never shot one of those Springfield SASS's.

I want a unit similar to the Dominator for an AR15 lower to convert it to a single shot 7mm or .300 magnum - along the lines of the SHTF .50 BMG unit.

Got a 44 Mag barrel for the 45 auto in a trade for other stuff. Shot it one time, way to much recoil for me. Still have it somewhere. One shot at a time with the barrel on the 1911 frame.

1911 frame is not too kind, when you begin pushing that bullet weight and velocity

Now if only there was a way for a phone to shoot widescreen instead of all the sky and ground ;-)

What video on this thread are you referring to?

bstone5,
Do you still have that Pachmyer Dominator in 44 Magnum?
