"I took out a Chihuahua!"
This time it’s the flat-shooting (& flatlining ) .400 CORBON ... a/k/a, The poor man’s 10mm.
I stumbled onto an archived .400 thread on another forum & forever fascinated with bottlenecked handgun cartridges, I decided to take the plunge. The 1997 creation of Cor-Bon owner, Peter Pi, the .400 is a .40/10mm bullet sitting in a necked-down .45ACP casing that, with a simple barrel & recoil spring (for hotter loadings) swap, turns a number of .45 ACP pistols into a low(er)-pressure 10mm handgun.
A stainless steel .45 ACP Sig P220R will serve as the dedicated host for the .400 Corbon ... that is, if Wolff ever ships the 22# recoil spring I ordered, seemingly, sometime last year!
