| .454 casull semi auto
Hi, I'm new here. This will be my second post. I have an idea bouncing around in my head for a semi automatic pistol chambered in. 454 casull. If you know where I got the idea, that makes you as big a nerd as I am. ![]() Last edited by judge sam; 12-22-2012 at 11:41 AM. |

No, but coonan did. I could do it like that.

Not sure what you're asking. I'm not talking about building it from any existing gun. I don't think there is anything in existence I could build it from.

Take a look at the 460 Rowland for substantial power if that is what you are looking for. The AMU did have the 1911 setup for bulls-eye shooting using the .38Spl wadcutter. S&W had one that shot the .38Spl wadcutter, also |

I'm sorry Sam, I might have misjudged your thread. I thought you might have been buildong something. Yes Danf, S&W did make a 38spl semi auto, I wanted one for a while back in the day, too rare for me and I'm not a good enough shot to need a target pistol. Joy Noel Y'all.

Dan, I'm not just looking for more power. I'm one of those people who get an idea stuck in their head and can't get rid of it until they figure put it can't be done, or try it successfully. I was really kind of hoping that someone would come along with a reason it can't be done. "Nobody's ever done it "is not a valid reason. As far as the 460 Rowland goes, I think it's yet another example of trying to make a piece of equipment do something it was never intended to do. George, if you know of anything I could build it on, let me know. Then it would be too easy, and I could let it go. Seriously, he'p me George.

I s'pose the thing to watch for is that as the mags get loaded, the rim of the round being inserted doesn't somehow get behind the one under it, which'd cause a jam. Also, the 'shoe' in the bottom of my Ruger mags seems to have a lot of ability to 'wiggle' or 'float', so that it adjusts for the extra size on the rear of a .22LR cartridge as the mag goes from full to empty; either a feature like that, or maybe a curved magazine would be in order. Now, while we're on the rimmed round idea, how 'bout scaling up that Ruger Standard to take 45/70! ![]() -Bill Last edited by thecarfarmer; 01-15-2013 at 11:05 PM. | |

It's not insurmountable. Like I said, it has already been done. The coonan is a .357 magnum pistol that is based on the 1911. The angle of the magazine won't allow the rims to overlap. The top has lips that go behind the case head to keep it from catching on anything.
