    I don't see how that would make anyone lose interest in a caliber or pistol! have observed it with .22 rfs on up to 7,62x51. It's especially entertaining whilst running a M3 (supressed, even!) or Thompson.

    Usually the 1911s don't get shot at extended distances, but the two match barreled 1911s above have engaged targets at Ft. Benning at 300m. Have to aim in the treeline to get hits, but it's doable, especially when it's dry and you can see bullet splashes whilst bracketing the target.

    A .30 caliber 1911 would be fun. LAR was supposed to have made a 7,62x25 conversion for the Grizzly pistol, but I don't recall such a conversion for a regular sized 1911. Maybe using a 9x19 or .38 Super?
