hay yall...

james here, busy as heck still at Trident, and no signs of it letting up. At least we have a new machinist who is putting a big dent in a lot of our custom barrel orders.
Anyways...
Recently one of the guys here wanted to do a 460 rowland conversion on a 45 acp.... but with all we do with the 450, and my interest in some late night pizza, i reamed a chamber for him with a version of a short 450 BM, and we are now cutting brass to fit....we have done a little paperwork to make it all legal and the name is the 45XAP.
dies are made, and we're having a heck of a time with it... Its going to be sold as a drop in kit (barrel, comp, spring/guide rod) for a few different 45 autos.
we are currently pushing 300g xtp/mags(my favorite projectile) at a modest 1380fps. but pretty decent for my ol 1911

here doing a little market research; i want to come up with a nice muzzle device for the kit. What we have now is UGLLLYYY.... it has to be effective for both cost and delaying the blow back, i really want it to look decent as well... can you suggest any handgun brakes you like the look of?

Pics?

James. I played quite a bit with hot-rodded cartridges in .40 and .45 caliber. IMHO, the best method is to make the barrel 1" longer and Magnaport it. That is how I did my .40 Super.

James!!!!!! Dude!!!! I thought the Gestapo had carried you off to GitMo!! WTH?

Sorry dog, I've spent nearly a year behind piles of paper and a bench.... this has been the best/worst year ever... I miss you man, and i can't wait to rejoin the ranks late winter when we get caught up...

The paper trail on this project has led us to a standstill, it appears that there are too many footprints of others in the area for us to continue at this time...

James! You just disappeared man. I thought at first the gov pricks were up in your business. I had no idea what happened to you, and we were all wondering. We thought something bad happened. I finally decided that somehow, some way, I had offended you so you bugged out. Been dealing with that uneasy feeling ever since. Good to know now, that this wasn't the case. Anyway, if I did say say something to offend you, sorry. It was never my intention. I've got a very jaded sense of humor and I rarely mince words, but I try really hard not to offend my brothers in arms. Yeah, piss off liberals on an hourly basis on Face Book but that's just for my own amusement. However, I never meant any offense to you or any of our guys here. I just try to be myself minus the sarcasm. Anyway, I'm glad you responded to this. I feel a little better now.

You Are Sorry!! You ain't never come to me with Hat-in-Hand and a plate of S'mores!!

Now, I feel slighted, sniffle-sniffle..

We all know why you disappear, T! And usually about four hotdogs, a liter of soda and a plate of S'mores disappears with you! We find the empty bottles in the woods. LOL.
