It will fire, but it will most likely beat the hell out of it. Plus 45 super is not all that great compared to the increase in pressure or possible damage. I'd rather just get a 10mm... Or for something more "exotic", check out 40 super.

Please take pictures of your mangled hand afterward. Probably won't be as bad as the guy that tried to hammer a roll pin with a .50 bmg round (primer first) but it should be entertaining none the less.

I've only shot .45 Super out of a full size HK USP Tactical with a 2-3 lb. heavier recoil spring. Not only did it push much harder than most .45 ACP, but it added a massive muzzle flip as well. Don't even want to think about what kind brand of idiot would think it was a good idea shooting that in a G36...

I'm hoping the OP is just copy+pasting that review from the ammo vendor's website. There are many other frames you can shoot .45 Super with... the Glock 36 is just not smart.

WTH y'all - 600 Lb-Ft out of a 20 oz. Glock and all y'alls cheese gets soft...?
Actually, I'm very happy w/ the 230 gr HST +P for goblin duty. It gives me 5" Bbl. performance out of the 3.8" Bbl'ed G36. Now, as a trail gun where maybe a big hog, or maybe a panther or bear might need to be dispatched and 18+" of penetration was desired? I thought, at first pass, that it looked very interestin'. So does the 200 gr. .40 at 1050 for the G23. The guy in the post says he has 200 rounds through his w/ only a spring upgrade. If so, that's a hell of a lot cheaper and an all together better kit gun than say a whole 'nother 10mm. Permission to un-twist those panties now... |

It's not so much a 20 oz. Glock that's the problem. It's I can't even get my entire hand on the Glock that's the problem. I don't mind hot loads for defensive carry and I even keep a mag of .45 Super JHP for when I do carry my USP Tactical, but I wouldn't even consider shooting it out of a frame where I can't get all 5 fingers on the gun. Even then it's not my primary mag. I keep it in position 1 so if I ever end up shooting a full mag, the big boys come out.

I use 45 super brass from Starline for this. Actually, I only use 45 super brass, even for regular 45 ACP loads. This helps me eliminate the potential of accidentally reloading ACP brass with Super loads.
Starline's 45 super brass has a thicker web. Even with the thicker web, the Glock's not fully-supported chamber has worried me a few times while shooting the 45 super. Recoil spring is a non-issue. Just drop in a $5 heavier spring for that. In my guns with fully-supported chambers, the 45 super is an awesome round to shoot. I load to about 700 ft lb. Check these links for more info and loads. http://www.realguns.com/archives/090.htm http://www.realguns.com/loads/45Super.htm

My hands are also "Glock-sized", as both the G23 and G36 w/ the stock mag finger-rest fit as if tailor-made. I'm also fine w/ ~ Three aimed rounds in Two seconds, so a little extra recoil/muzzle-flip is OK, too. It would help mitigate some of the wear'n'tear if you let it come up, and should have plenty of slide velocity left to cycle. Mean bit of kit if it worked out.

I suppose it wouldn't matter too much for me if I could get all my fingers on the baby Glock. Glad you were able to find something that works for you. I'll stick to full size, 2 lb guns for my .45 Super shooting needs
