.45 Super

[cineski]

I just called HK. No HK handguns are rated to shoot 45 Super. Only 45 +P. The guy was aware that there's people doing it, but went on to say the guns are not rated for this, and you'll be on your own if something happens.

Thanks for the info guys

Looks like I'll put this on the back-burner.

I do however, still need to order some springs for my HKs. Those magazine springs sure are weak. Might pick up a heavier recoil spring as well.

Are there mag springs that are higher rated than stockies for HK?

I have an alternate setup for my Glock 21SF for my 45 Super, but I also have a 10mm slide for it, and a 460 Rowland kit for my Kimber. The 10mm is the most reliable setup, and the 460 hits the hardest, by far. The nice thing about the 45 super for you though is that your HK can handle it right out of the box.

Okay, Rich, I'll get a 10mm slide for my 21sf and you can shoot it til you get carpal tunnel.

No HK45, only USP.

How about an S&W 4506 with a .45 Super conversion by Ace? There's one at Contra Costa Collectible. Used to be mine, shot some but not much. I rather liked it for pig hunting and the like, left .45acp in it in town and loaded up .45Super in the woods.

I put it on consignment and forgot about it until I saw this thread. I may need to go get it out.

And where is he supposed to get ammo? Not that he needed it, but you know, theoretically.

You said "where?", not "how much?".

I still have a bunch of Zero 180 gr. JHP .40/10mm bullets left over from when I owned a Ruger PC4. Just need brass & powder.

ETA: Scratch that. Seems Titegroup and W231 will work. Have both. Just need brass (and some WLP's wouldn't hurt, either).

On the 460 Rowland, it does involve a *cartridge specific* compensated barrel and spring kit, but it uses standard 1911 45acp magazines.
Conversion or restoration to .45acp takes about a minute either way.

I'm setting a 1911 up as 460 Rowland as a field packing gun for hunting.
No fantasies of needing it for Chow Yun-Fat style 'self defense' but as a hunting gun it makes great sense. I like the concept of hot 44mag energy out of a slim single stack 1911

I'll be loading heavy hard cast flat points for max velocity, not concerned with recoil at all, and I won't be worrying about frame fatigue in that I'm not planning to put hundreds of rounds through it at a time - and it's an early Yonkers Kimber so I don't likely have much to worry about there anyway.

Should be a great 'packing in the woods' pistol that wouldn't give me pause around big cats, boar or bear.
