I didn't know about this round till just now. Ran across it while browsing the Buffalo Bore website. Apparently, it's a stouter .45 round made with stronger brass. A few .45ACP guns can handle it right out of the box.

However, use it with caution, as many guns need to first be modified with a stronger recoil spring, buffer, firing pin, etc...

This round should obliterate the jokes like the cartoon illustration where the .45 round falls short of its target.

Dean Grennell developed it back in the late 80's.

If I recall he used shortened .451 Detonics brass.

You'd like the .460 Rowland too if you like the 45 Super.

I agree. Check out the .460. Also, check out the .50 GI.

I have done this its stout. My gun works well with a 24lbs spring and 45ACP ball still
works. With the 28lbs spring I get a lot of ftf's with 45 ball.

Just found out that .460 kits are made for Para Ordnance P-14's by Clark Custom Guns. But read their Q&A section carefully, they make mention of getting stronger magazine springs to improve feeding reliability.

Wow, 15 rounds of 44 magnum equivalents in a 5" 1911 would make for a sweet hunting gun, or bear defense gun, or two-legged defense gun, or fun plinker...

HK USP supposedly can handle the .45 super from the factory.
