If you do not reload maybe someone can work up some loads for you, my friend/mentor transitioned to 200gn bullets going a bit slower.
A 200gr. load can be really tame and still run the gun perfectly with maybe a switch to a 15lb or 16lb recoil spring. I’m running full power loads for now but I could see eventually switching to those and keeping the practice gun sprung for them.
Thanks. I've got one more custom 45 that's hopefully done this year. It's been quite a long wait for it, and I commissioned it many years ago, well before I developed hand issues. Here's to hoping that I can still run the 45 periodically.
My .45s now sit in the safe, begging to come out and play. 😩
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
