I believe/think when the math guys did the calculations for 45 twist, using the commonly available bullets it computed to be 1-32 as the idea rate, so Knight has made it a bit faster.
But for some the 1-20 would be great twist.
Since there keeping the 1:30 twist,which i feel was the correct move,they need to concentrate on having some .40 cal .220-.240 gr tipped,lead,copper plated bullets developed. IMHO it would go a long way in bringing back the .45 cal and would also appeal to the smokeless market.
