    ACP and Super

    Just curious Are 45acp and 45 super interchangeable. Besides the obviously higher pressure and thicker case walls what is the difference in the chamber. Can u fire acp reliably through a super chamber and vice verse? I'm not intending to do this with a handgun. I just need information.
    Thanks

    Yes exterior dimmensions the same. Issues when putting 45 ACP in a gun set up to handle the 45 super, spring rate may be an issue.

      Correct -going from the super rs to a standard 16lb rs will do the trick though.
      The way some gunshop clerks spout off, you'd think that they invented gunpowder and the repeating rifle, and sat on the Supreme Court as well.

            No. They have the same exterior dimensions.
