I tried a search for this. No luck. Want to find a chart of something that will give cal. and then refer it to mm. Like a 9mm is the same or close to "What cal."?.. and so on. Thanks |

then there are the calibers that are misnomers. for example the modern .44 is really .43 (even .444marlin) and .222rem is actually larger than .223rem. and what is often referred to as 8mm mauser is really 7.92mm. .38spl is really .357 in diameter and even though 9mm is .355 it can still be fired through the same barrel as .357mag or .38spl--as in the ruger blackhawk convertable. unfortunately the cartridge dimensional drawings on reloadbench.com are currently offline. they are working on getting them redrawn using cad. hopefully they will be up by the end of the year. |
Do they make that 1inch or 25.6mm in a Glock or 1911 frame!? LOL That would end the "What is the best man stopper "debate for sure especialy if it came in a balistic tip. |
Make it a SP/HE combo 
|
Now your talking! 
|
not to be a complete ass but the 1911 isn't even an inch thick so its gonna look pretty funny with a 1" diameter barrel on it? |
From what I understand when they used a heeled bullet like the .22 LR uses. In theory this would mean if you measured the exterior of the .38 Special case it should measure .38 roughly. I haven't checked this out for real. |
| thats also why the .44mag is really .43. when the .44 was created in the 1870s? it was actually .44 and the cartridge looked similar, but larger, to the .22lr. but the russians had a step in the cylinders for their revolvers and when we brought the .44rus over it was smaller than the domestic .44's but it got the name somehow. i can't remember how though. |
We will just put a beefy slide on it and make the frame a little wider too. Nitro for the propelant will probably work. 
|
and i am sure recoil will be on the mild side. |
Like .50 GI, just...bigger 
|
Depends on how heavy it's loaded
