Well, I just bought a good spread of land on a mountain top in Clarke County Virginia and figured I had a good excuse to get a pistol that would handle black bear. Instead of going with a 44 mag wheel gun, I decided to go with a Lonewolf full upper conversion for the 460 Rowland to put on my Glock 21 that I've put a Zev trigger and stippled to my liking. After researching all the various aspects of getting that round to work right, I found that a full steel long slide, 6.6" threaded barrel with a compensator and a heavy recoil spring would be just the ticket. It set me back a bit but I'm on pins and needles until it shows up next week. Can't wait to see it, and having a semiauto pistol with 13+1 capacity and shooting 255gr hard cast FN bullets at 1300 fps (~1000 ft/lbs ME) is pretty damn appealing.
I'm planning on doing a full review on the Lonewolf conversion and how the 460 performs with this setup. Ideally, this will be my woods pistol going forward, provided it eats everything I give it and shoots straight. I'd love to hear others' experiences with both the cartridge and the Lonewolf conversions. Up until now I've preferred KKM precision barrels but wanted a one-stop shop to build out the full conversion. I may get a KKM barrel later if I don't like the LW, but I'm not trying to shoot bugholes with this thing. Anyway, more to follow as this project goes forward.
