I was looking at this, and it seems that the .357 Sig has more energy, etc.... given the ready availability of that cartridge, I can't justify going for a Super....But fall short of the 38 Super's power.
Based on his location and some of what he wrote, high. Based on the fact that William Akins isn't generally famous enough to be worth impersonating on the internet, even higher.What’re the odds?
Good point I just assumed it was someone creating an obscure username.Based on his location and some of what he wrote, high. Based on the fact that William Akins isn't generally famous enough to be worth impersonating on the internet, even higher.
You’re the last person I would expect that question from.Who is Willians Akins and why should I care?
One of the forerunners of the .357 Sig was the .357 Brian & Davis (back around 1980-ish), and I had seen that in 1911s.I was looking at this, and it seems that the .357 Sig has more energy, etc.... given the ready availability of that cartridge, I can't justify going for a Super....
I don't know if the Sig could be adapted to a 1911, though.... that might be the only advantage the Super has over the Sig.....
Inventor of the Akins Accelerator and fighter against BATFE excesses. Based on what he's written here (assuming it is him, of course) he also seems to have become a crusty old cuss but I reckon he's earned it.Who is Willians Akins and why should I care?
LoL, I don't pay attention to tinker-toy ideas.Inventor of 'bump stock' spent years fighting for device, and lost
The Florida inventor who designed the first "bump stock," nearly two decades before the Las Vegas gunman used one to massacre 58 people on Sunday, never made a dime off of his creation.www.reuters.com
Whether you think it was a good idea or not really isn’t the issue. The issue was government over reach. Again. I never owned a bumpstock or a binary trigger, but I didn’t feel that nobody should own them because I didn’t have them.LoL, I don't pay attention to tinker-toy ideas.
Thought it was a stupid idea in the first place, kind of like the little clamp on trigger cranks.
I don't know who invented those either.
Why do people want to tease a wild dog (ATF) with a stick?
I don't think so. The Bain & Davis was a rimmed cartridge, a .44 mag necked to .357.One of the forerunners of the .357 Sig was the .357 Brian & Davis (back around 1980-ish), and I had seen that in 1911s.
Was a necked down .45 acp case.

I just feel a strong internal revulsion to people who make rules but object to anyone being smarter than they are.The issue was government over reach.

They were. I loved mine when I was in the right mood for it.Looks like it could have been fun.
Everything is armor piercing to something, for example, .30 carbine from a handgun will zip through a IIIa vest like it isn't even there, same with 7.62 tok. Plain ol 5.56 55gr will penetrate lv III plates up close, etc.How come no one ever brings up the .22TCM? 2000 fps out of a 5” barrel in a 1911 pistol?
I am pretty sure that this ammo has to have a lead tip to be legal, otherwise it would certainly be a classified as armor piercing round like certain 5.7x28 rounds are…
