Update for those who care...
After the great advice found on these forums, I opted for a Knight UL .45. Then, low and behold, not only was there one for sale in the classifieds, but it was within driving distance! Clearly meant to be. Green stock, nitride finish, #11 cap ignition, and a pile of extras! Excited to get started!
Now the dilemma...
Gun came with 150+/- #11 caps, but I had previously been stocking up on BH 209. I'd love to convert it to 209s & BH, but to the tune of $163.99 for the conversion kit, so I'm thinking... Why not use them and upgrade later?
With that in mind, would you rather...
1) use an #11 friendly bp sub powder (leaning T7 3Fg, plus it's cheaper than BH) until converting to 209 bolt/plug, or deciding the T7 is good enough for me
2) screw substitutes, order real BP (wishful thinking?) in bulk and never look back
3) get creative and cautiously test a duplex bp load (#11 lights T7 which then ignites BH209... Reasonable, or should I be institutionalized?)
4) don't over think it. Order the conversion kit, and light that BH like it's the 4th of July
I appreciate the advice, and while this is partly in the spirit of friendly banter, I am curious what you guys n gals think.
