I am leaning hard towards a 3" DASA but I am getting conflicting information, about it, online.
Some say the frame is cast, some say it is not. Kimber says "machined" from stainless buuut we know there is "machining" left to complete on a cast frame. So, can someone definitively say whether or not the DASA has a cast frame?
Also - while I will most likely feed it 38spc, on range days, I plan on running some INSANELY hot B.B. through it - 180gr JHP @ 1,500 FPS for a total of 899 ft lbs of M.E. Now, obviously they didn't reach those stats out of a 3" BUT it does give an indication the severity of these loads. Is the DASA built to handle an occasional cylinder of that stuff? I know I'd run it through my SP 101 but Ruger ya know
