I'd be leery of the base metal, given that there isn't exactly a way to do much testing on it, and the uniformity is terrible.
On the other hand, a 45 ACP isn't really a high-pressure, high-stress item, and it WOULD be pretty unique.
If I were a multi-millionaire, I'd go for it.........but then again.........I'm not......!

I wonder if a person would actually shoot those.

These have been fabricated for those folks who have more dollars than sense.

Hmmm. A savvy businessman, making a pair of toys that cannot be duplicated, truly one (two) of a kind. Something for an ultra-rich multi billionaire with nothing else to spend his money on, will pick them up just so he will own the only two on the planet...

If Sixgun got his hands on them I can assure you they'd suffer through many a box of .45ACP. I think his motto is "shoot first, devalue later."sore shoulder wrote:I wonder if a person would actually shoot those.
