Thread: 460 Rowland?

Kid, do you sell the conversion kits out of your store in Anchorage? If so, I might stop by when I get home. I'd rather deal locally FTF than order online. The pistol I plan to convert is the Para Hi-cap 1911.

The style of holsters I use have no bottom in them. They are also a grip forward holster, meaning the barrel is parallel to the ground. The comp or muzzle brake on mine are very highly regarded by myself and my little wife. All follow up shots are right there unlike a 5 inch heavy loaded 44 mag. My wife refuses to carry or shoot any and all 44's and finds the Rowland fun to shoot. Neal

The Kid you have a PM

Thanks for the info. I'm sorry of hijacking this thread. I was thinking that it would have a comp on it like the 1911 style conversions. I think I'd like to have a threaded barrel on mine so I'd have the option of using a comp or a suppressor with it. Jeremiah

The mag capacity remains the same, and we normally convert 5in XDs, the fullsize M&P 45, and 1911's, for any other make or model the best thing to do is bring it in and let Jim West look it over as he is the boss and a master pistolsmith and he has the final say in what we will and won't do.

I don't know the details of it, for example I do not know if the stock slide would be heavy enough. However, you may also want to consider the 45 Super. Same outside dimensions as the 45 ACP but stronger cases to handle more pressure.

Dont need a comp, just install a 6 inch barsto

Jeremiah, I have an M&P 460 and there is no alteration to the outside of the pistol. Still looks the same. All the changes are inside (chamber, springs, and caliber marking on barrel). I am really liking this pistol the more I shoot it. Hope this helps...
