Ron
Is the different grip angle a attempt to make the .45 ACP version feed better?
The .45 cartridge has more of a blunt nose shape then the 9 mm and esp the 30 luger.so it makes sense to me.
I used to reload with truncated cone bullets in 9 mm. Those cartridges feed great in everything. Even my SS Mitchell!
On a related subject. I recently bought some RWS 9 mm ammo on sale from Big 5.
Not to sound weird,but that ammo is beautiful. The shape is sublime and it has this copper color that just glows.Very high quality.
Bad news,it wont work in any of my lugers. The OAL is a little to long. It wont feed reliably.
So it goes in the Browning Hi-Powers,they work with everything.
