It is darn near the perfect round for the single stack 1911. It's easy with either handloads or Cor-Bon factory ammo to hit 1300 fps with 155's, which is bettr than some .357 mags do today. Chip McCormick makes some excellent 9 rd mags, so basically it turns your 1911 into a 10 shot .357 magnum.

I put a Bar-sto 10mm barrel in my old Delta, and it is a tack driver, and very reliable, too.
