wyomings pistol regs are .41 and up.
i pack a 45, shouldered, and shot a spike bull
out of the tent flap at daylight one morning.
50ish yds and i'd been bustin milk jugs with same
pistol at said distance.
In addition,the Commission authorizes any other cartridge fired from a firearm that has a barrel bore diameter of at least thirty-five hundredths (35/100) of an inch and the cartridge generally delivers at least five hundred (500) pounds of impact at one hundred (100) yards and cartridges used are loaded with a lead, soft or expanding bullet point.Oh! OK so you shot it illegally.
Now Fotis, if a reloader knows how to work up a load judiciously, and installs the proper recoil spring, and more than likely uses a 230 gr cast lead bullet; heck, he might even use a 6" barrel. He can obtain the 980 or so, fps required to obtain 500 FPE @ 100 yds with a 1911. I know, I've done it with my 5" Ed Brown and 230 gr FN LBT's using Veral Smith's molds and his LBT blue lube. Utah, my home state, has the same FPE requirement as Wyoming.
