Everything I've read on the matter leads me to believe that setting up a 1911 for .45 super should start with a check to ensure proper engagement of the locking lugs. How many of you have done that?

The 460 Rowland is uber-high-performance 45acp done right.

anyone set up a gen4 g41 as a 45 super? With captured springs in a proprietary assembly I wonder if its possible to shoot the super in the gen4 21 or Gen4 41? I saw a used gen 4 41 today for $525, a very good price. HOwever I believe the 41 might not be suitable for the 45 super, lighter slide.

So I have heard. I wonder if the HK 45 would do as well?

My HK45 does well with 45 Super; If I had to pick a 45 Super carry gun, it'd be an HK45 Compact.

Do as well as what? The HK USP is very tough strong pistol and can shoot 45 Supers without modification.

Jwp, to do as well with 45 Super ammo as does the USP? The HK 45 is the newer hammer fired polymer framed pistol made by HK-in Columbus, Georgia. Looks fairly similar to the USP.

HK 45

"I'm not crazy about the compensator hanging out the front."
According to Hodgdon data the max velocity for a 230 grain bullet is 983 fps in the Super and 1336 fps for the Rowland. Clark told me the compensator was required to prevent battering the frame. There is a price to pay for the extra 353 fps.

Hogdon 45 Super data is way low a 230 grain JHP should do 1100 in 45 Super. 983 FPS is high end +P

Yessir a bud did, he's talked to me about doing my gen 4 21 a couple of times, iirc he bought a StormLake, KKM? barrel, new steel guide rod with bushing and recoil spring, I think he also said something about a new stronger firing pin spring, said he's into the conversion well under 250 bucks, he shoots 255gr hardcasts, don't remember the speeds he loads to.

If I remembered the barrel companies right, just call them, they'll send you everything you need for the conversion, that's what Bud said he did.

Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.

My Sig 1911 got the 45 Super transition. I run 200 gr hard cast at 1350 & 250 XTP’s at 1200 fps. The load & gun are quite accurate. It is a 45 LC in a semi auto. The cost was $8 for the Wolff Spring Kit & brass was available from Starline. It likes Power Pistol &/or HS 7.

I love the package.

I was trying to find out if the Gen 4 G21 glocks with the new recoil spring assembly can be converted. However RYG has a conversion kit and a 24 pound spring!

The Glock 41 might make a nice conversion.
