I picked up a Sig P-220 DAK police trade in. So far I'm liking it. After racking the slide it goes into a half cock condition. This makes the trigger pull very smooth and light.
That 45 slug, boy can it hit. I ordered an Arsenal Mold, brass, two cavity 230 gr Keith bullet. I've powder coated these. I've been working up a load for it. This afternoon, I had 50 rounds to put through the chronograph using Accurate No 5 (various charges). At round 14, I had an opportunity to experience the knockdown power of the 45 ACP. Talk about a One Shot Stop. That 230 gr 45 slug hit the chronograph, knocking it down from the table I had it sitting on, then threw it about 15 feet before it ran into the target stand. DRT.
The 45 load development has run into a snag. I also had about 70 rounds of 44 Special to run through after I finished with the 45, that now, also, needs to be put on hold.
I also learned that I have more work to do on my double action trigger pull. If it was more of a straight back pull, the bullet wouldn't have been yanked down and the chronograph would have escaped unscathed.
