Hi Folk's, I know this isn't Ruger specific & hope it's ok to ask. Do you folk's know if anyone manufactures a 1911 in .40 S&W ? Hoping to find one in Commander size that's affordable-Thank's for any help-Dave
.40 cal. 1911's ?

Now that's just funny! :lol:revhigh said:
Unless one has access to unlimited FREE .40 ammo, I can't see the point of a .40 1911. If you have a 1911, you can shoot .45 in it! The .40 is a great cartridge for smaller guns that you can't stuff a .45ACP round into.

This goes out to my ol' compadre Rev: My belief is that JB's old 1911 is the ideal platform to launch what I feel to be a superior round, that being the bottle necked .357 Sig round. Hard to beat magnum ballistics, and feed reliability of the Sig round. Child's play for an all steel 1911.

If I ever were to get into rolling my own ammunition I would like a 10mm. I like the idea of it & it is the only semi auto caliber that really seems appropriate for a woods gun.

The only thing better than that would be free unlimited .45 acp!
I can see not wanting to add another caliber to stock/reload for. The trouble in this case is .40 1911's seem to be scarce. Good luck, when I googled it, there are lots of references to them. Then when I went to the manufactures pages, there were none listed.
If Ruger came out with caliber exchange kits for the SR1911, I bet .40 would be a good seller. .22lr would be nice too! Ed
Only problem with a .40 conversion kit for (any) 1911 is that you'd have to swap out the frame-mounted ejector, which isn't impossible but is a big PITA*. (This is handled on .22LR conversions by fixing the ejector to the barrel, but this isn't possible on the bigger .40.)eveled said:

Another thread where rev is more interested causing controversy than helping answering the question. It is quite o vious he is more interested in raising his post count than helping anyone.revhigh said:
To the op I'm only aware of sti putting the .40 in a 1911 platform. The last couple of years I have began to really enjoy the .40's and would like 1911 in .40 the only this GS that bother me is the small primers and the . 40 cases get stuck inside my .45 cases.
I can't wait to hear the wisdom and experience the almighty rev will bestow on us the less knowledgeable and unworthy
