My Reminton Rand 1911

I've run about 100 Rnds through so far with only 1 stove pipe jam. All of the others I had jammed up alot with hollow points. One good thing about the .45 is that you usually only need 1 good shot to stop the threat as it will definetly "leave a mark."

Thanks

I must admit, that I would feel perfectly at ease with ball in the old .45 ...
They dont call it the flying ashtray for nuthin' .....

I only shoot standard load FMJ ball in my Remington Rand - and have installed a shock buffer to reduce the danger to my old warhorse.

Hmmm, I'll have to check on a shock buffer. I like to concept.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback, Burt...
@ Mark, the GIs fed her with a steady diet of 230gr FMJ, the prescribed loading for her...

The thing looks beautiful. The only .45 I have ever shot is my dad's Kimber. That cartridge is a bit overkill if you ask me...

This thread reminds me of this picture I saw the other day:

That's right, Thanos. I only fire the standard 230gr FMJ with my RR.

A few months ago I bought a spam can of WWII .45 ammo. But, I can't bring myself to open it.
