Is the 1911 conversion just a matter of barrel, springs and magazines? I may have to start with a commander sized AMT stainless 1911 ( called a "Skipper"). Inquiring minds need to know.

Anyone test their defensive loads for nighttime effect? I don't want a visual stun grenade type, but I do want approx. 1000fps with middle weight bullets in .357, 10mm, .44 and .45acp. Is the general trend a near max load faster powder - 231, 700x, bullseye, AA#5 - or do we step into the...
