if you were building a 6" 1911 what caliber would you chose?

[AllenM]

I had a nice 6" 45 Bullseye gun that I thought about replace with a new build but then I think 10mm might be kind of cool too. I would more than likely use it more for accuracy shooting. But that's just me. However a 10mm pig slayer has some appeal

 

[iChokePeople]

10mm.

 

[boogieman]

Another vote for 10mm

 

[M67]

10mm


Or 9mm, maybe, but a 6" 10mm is just cool

Maybe 50 AE and do like a LAR Grizzly

 

[AllenM]

The lower I have is a 2011 with a long dust cover so 6" 10mm Hi Cap does get my spidey senses tingling a bit

 

[Que]

Yeah, I would have to go with 10mm.

 

[M67]

Yeah, I would have to go with 10mm.

Just jump on the bandwagon Que, how typical

 

[jagee]

Invent a new caliber. Go with an 11mm to match the 1911.



Edit: I guess I mean 2011

I would vote for the 460 Roland. A 45 caliber with the energy of the 44 magnum, but that's just me.

I like to be accepted.

10mm is my vote as well. For Hi Cap 38 super would be pretty cool as well.

 

[BE Mike]

I would go with a caliber that I already reload for, but although they look cool, I think that 6" 1911's have little practical use, even in formal target shooting events. For that reason, I'd never consider one.

some interesting suggestions, but 10mm seems to be leading

 

[mshogren]

Another vote for 460...

 

[hooky]

I wonder what a 38 Super would do in a 6" barrel?

 

[scoutsniper]

Another vote for 460...

+1 my vote also

A lot of you like the 10mm I may have to look into one. My 1911 is a 45
