| Q:Will
shooting the 460 Rowland in my 1911 increase wear on my gun? |
| A:
Any time you increase power, you will accelerate wear. For example,
you would expect more wear on your revolver if you were shooting a steady
diet of 357 Magnums as opposed to .38 Special loads. We've sold over
1000 of these kits with no reported stress related problems. |
| Q:
Is it safe to install the 460 Rowland Drop In 1911 Comp Kit into my
older spot heat treated 1911 pistol? |
A:
NO! We do not recommend this kit for installation in any GI or other
spot heat treated 1911s!
Please note that we will not guarantee this kit to fit or function in
your Auto Ordnance, Llama, Charles Daly or AMT 1911 style pistols nor
do we recommend these as platforms for the kit. |
| Q:
Are there any other guns that you specifically DO NOT recommend for
the 460 Rowland? |
A:
YES! We do not recommend this kit
for installation in
- IAI (Israeli Arms International)
- We've found the top lugs in the slides of the Philipines produced
1911s to be soft! We've not tested the Israeli made guns but would
recommend extreme caution.
- Rock Island Armory
- Auto Ordnance
- Taurus
- Llama
- AMT
- Charles Daly
- Essex
- Remington Rand
- Any "GI" 1911
(note: Springfield Armory Current Production models excluded)

| Q:
Can you make a comparison from 460 Rowland to 45 Super? |

200 Feet Per Second faster. 460 Rowland is Longer and more durable
brass. 460 Rowland will NOT fit in
a 45ACP chamber!!! |
| Q:
Will you chamber my non-compensated barrel in 460 Rowland? OR
sell a barrel only (No Compensator) in 460 Rowland? |
| A:
No, the compensator is necessary to prevent damage to your 1911
pistol. |

Can I still shoot 45ACP in my gun? If so, will it adversely affect
accuracy? |

We do not recommend shooting .45 ACP in the 460 kit. |

| Q:
Do you make the drop-in kit for my Para Ordnance? |
|
A: Sorry,
discontinued the ramped models. Good News is that Para is now making
the GI Expert which will take our standard Kit
|
Q:
Do you make a comp kit to fit my Colt GOLD CUP/ENHANCED model? 
|
| A:
YES.. The Gold Cup / Enhanced Model Colt 1911s have a slightly
different barrel hood. Please make sure to specify GOLD CUP /
ENHANCED model. |
| Q:
Do you make the drop-in kit for any 1911 shorter than the government
model? |
| A:
No Commander (4.25" barrel) kits have been discontinued. We've discontinued
Springfield Champion (4" barrel) due to function / reliability problems. |
| Q:
Why does it make a difference that my gun is stainless? |
| A:
MOST Stainless steel creates a great deal more friction
than traditional blue (Chrome Moly) steel. We have found that Many stainless
guns will not work with the 24lb Wolff spring that we normally ship
with the kits. Always try the 24 lb spring first. If it doesn't function
reliably, switch to the lighter spring we've supplied. If it's still
not functioning, Please call us for further assistance. Please note
that all current production Kimber 1911s are stainless steel. |
| Q:
Do I have to buy new loading dies? |
| A:
No. You can use your 45ACP dies to reload 460 Rowland. |

| Q:
Which Recoil Spring should I use with the 460 Rowland Kit? |

kit (24 LB) wolff spring. If it's too heavy, change to the 20 lb spring
also supplied with our kit. |
| Q:
The brass is failing to completely eject / extract? |
| A:
Try a lighter recoil spring. |
| Q:
Should I install the Extra Power Firing Pin Spring that comes with the
460 Rowland kit? |
| A:
Yes. |
| Q:What
if my drop in kit doesn't drop in? |
|

your slide and $ 20 (Return Shipping & Handling) to us for a complimentary
fitting by our gunsmith.
