New Wildcat cartridge I think we need…

Post by AJMD429 »

.
Of course the commemorative firearms companies released the 1911 “45” that commemorated trumps presidency. Well now that he’s also a “47”, I think we need a 45–47.

The question is, whether it should be a rifle cartridge or a pistol cartridge, if the ‘dash’ should mean it’s defined like a black powder cartridge in terms of caliber and grains of black powder, or what…

It should also be something that can be built into a variety of firearms. Maybe something that a firearm invented in the year of his birth could be chambered in. Definitely needs to be an American design.

Normally, I really have gotten to the point where I don’t like new cartridges because the old ones I have cover all the needs but since I’m one of those weirdos who thinks Trump is the best president since George Washington, I would go for a commemorative firearm and cartridge, even if I just got it as a collector item…!

how about a 1911 .470, with a gentle scale up, all heat treated with a 100001 psi chamber pressure, 'cause 47 can handle the pressure . . .

A pair of 1911's, one in 45 acp and one in "47 automatic" would be interesting.

I always thought something in .375 would be nice , 38 special length case for a revolver 165 - 200 gr bullets.
Or a .375 acp in a 45 acp length case with 180 gr bullets.

Desert Eagle .50 AE with a .50AE necked down to .47, call it the .47 Trump.

The handguns big and showy with a lot of bark and bite. Suits ;)

Isn't the .480 Achilles close enough for a specially renamed commercial run?

OK, sign me up. Can we get a carbine conversion with that 47 ?
