Re: What to look for in a 1911?
Hold the pistol by the grip and shake vigourously.
If it doesn't rattle then tolerances are too tight and it will be unreliable.

I'm always amazed that people assume commerative models are made out of gold, and are worth more than a standard model.

Re: 410 2 1/4" caliber
2 1/4's will be hard to come by, and reaming it out will cost more than the firearm is worth, if it can even be done.

Re: heavy bullets in a 44mag
10 lbs of SH*t in a 1lb bag, I wouldn't go over 275gr in .429 diameter, someone makes a makes a cone shaped bullet mould in such a weight. Other than that a 240 Keith bullet will suffice.

buy a box of 100 of different bullet weights. 1:9 may not stabilize the 75's but it does depend on the rifle.

Re: Best Zombie Gun ?
I'd prefer a carbine in .45acp or 9mm. since it's so easy to reload for.
OR and AR or AK will do since ammo isn't too expensive by the case.
00 buck gets really expensive at $1 per round.....
