Next in my series of threads meant to get more talk going about some odd-ball white-hot-loaded high-pressure calibers in semi-auto is the .460 Rowland. My goal would be to convert a stainless Sig 1911 (A Scorpion would be sweet though) with a Clark Custom Guns .460 Rowland conversion. It includes the barrel, a compensator/bushing, stronger recoil spring and 2 piece guide rod/plug, and a stronger firing pin spring. I may have found my holy grail...
"The .460 Rowland is a proprietary cartridge which attains true .44 Magnum level velocities when fired from a number of popular semi-automatic pistols, revolvers, and rifles. The cartridge was designed and developed by Mr. Johnny Ray Rowland, host of "The Shooting Show." After first developing the new cartridge, Mr. Rowland worked with Starline Brass to finalize commercial production of the brass and later with Clark Custom Guns to develop the first commercially available .460 Rowland Conversions for specific versions of the M1911."

I'll let the man himself, Johnny Ray Rowland do the rest of the talking. All I've got to say is, "Holy !@#$%ng hell I want one!" I highly suggest you sit down while watching this video --Mod edited verbiage--

You could kill a Yeti with this thing, although I advise against it as I believe they are a protected species.
