[awp101]

Anyone here ever fooled around with this round? Thoughts or opinions?

Yep,
I like it.

[awp101]

Is it as snappy as the .357 SIG recoil-wise?

Not like I need another caliber to play with...

[mescalero1]

Well,
To me,yes.
But I have both those calibers on 1911 platforms, I grew up with a 1911,in my hand.
I shoot them well because I like and am familar with them.

awp101,
Whats up?

My blood pressure, but that's nothing new. It helps keep my beard fuzzy...

Nothing really. Kicking around the thought of another 1911 down the road and found a couple of .400 CorBon barrels on another site. I'd heard of it but not read up on it until I posted that link up top and figured I'd ask around about it.

My only experience with the .357 SIG was in a SIG229 and it was snappier than I care for. Since it's compared to the SIG in that link I kind of thought the recoil would be comparable. I really, REALLY want a .38 Super but I'm afraid it's going to be the same way, at least based on the Llama .38 Super I owned a few years ago. Since then, my Supers have been EAA Witnesses.

[mescalero1]

Every Super I have ever been associated with has been a problem child.

[awp101]

What kind of problems? My two Witnesses ran like champs after breaking in. The only issue with the Llama, other than a possible weak mag-spring, was the way it hit the heel of my hand during firing. I don't know if it was the arched MSH (I prefer the flat) or what but the recoil was sharper and hurt more than running full house .357 loads to me.

They were all in 1911 platforms,
poor case life
