I was playing with a buddy’s compensated 357 recently. He walked me through a series of loads that demonstrated how the comp only became effective with hot loads pushing lots of gas. Maybe it would be functional on a bowling pin gun running hot loads with light bullets? Otherwise, more like a big rice-car wing on a classic muscle car.
Karl said it was made by the owner for bowlling pins. I have never seen a comped 45 ACP that I thought was worth it. The lack of pressure as you said. One reason why the super 38 rose to power
Oh I do love me some blued Smith and Wesson steel and walnut.

Pretty unusual to see a bobbed hammer too. My main squeeze has the hammer bobbed. DAO FTW.

I love these big old .45 ACP wheel guns. I wish I’d picked up a 1917 20+ years ago when they were still reasonable.

Finally, I have a nicer one than Karl. Mine’s a 5-screw and unmolested. Take that, Karl!
