Yup, most direct way into a .45 Super is an H&K USP 45. No modifications required.

Would this be a problem with .45 Super? Could Super rounds be fired in a good "stock" .45 1911, without all the spring changes?
Thanks for any help on this.
Mike
The 45 Super is not louder. I suggest you NOT run 45 Super in a stock gun. And, I highly suggest you use a 1911 with a heat treated slide.

After this thread, I now own both a 10mm and a 45 ACP. The 45 is a Rock Island. Anyone see any issue with doing the conversion to 45 super on a commander size RIA?

I read somewhere on an a site that didn’t recommend the RIA. It might of been on the 460 Roland site, idk.

HK customer service told me they did NOT recommend shooting .45 Super in ANY of their firearms.

Mike Holmes I doubt that any manufacturer would.

Not surprising, but that doesn't mean 45 Super doesn't run well in H&K USP 45's and HK45's. Check out this thread for some extensive reports on 45 Super use in both HK platforms: https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?16503-HK-USP-45-field-pistol

Just like Ruger says not to shoot anything but standard pressure 14,000psi loads out of their .45Colt's. Manufacturers are always going to be liability-conscious.

Springfield chambered the 45 Super at one time.
I remember, some at least, were ported.

I set up my Lone Wolf Timberwolf frame with a G41 slide, RMR, LW barrel, Zev drop in trigger and 460 Rowland comp. It shoots tight groups at 25 yds with Underwood 45Super (230g JHP) or Double Tap 450SMC (230g JHP) ammo if I do my part. I just bought a Phalanx Defense Systems OWB compact holster for taking it hunting. Seems to word. I will be doing more testing of the holster this month. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.angelcloudfarm.com/down/images/41.jpg)

I love my DW 10mm, but it's no 45 Super, had my 'Smith do a simple spring swap on an all steel 5" Springfield Trophy Match, had previously ordered Starline 45 Super brass, took the 230gr full metal jacket flat points to an even 1200 fps, it was a hell of an accurate and powerful load, after firing 11 rounds in rapid succession with a CM 10 round mag you definitely knew you just done something.
Probably put 3-400 rounds like that through the pistol with no ill effects, had a buddy wanting to buy it, took it back to 'Smith for a checking over, all good, sold bud the pistol, brass and remaining ammo, he's still shooting it today and that was better than five years ago. gunner, I thought about trying that with my TRP, but have yet to act on it.

Since RIA has several models of 10mm, I can not understand why a .45 Super would not recommended in their guns....is there really going to be that much more stress on a properly sent up gun?

Bob Idunno, Bob. How hard are those slides? I know I read somewhere that RIA slides are not thoroughly hardened, but I don't know if that's true. What I do know, is that the Underwood 255gr heavy acp load recoils about like a 10mm. So I would expect the Super to be harder on the locking lugs - but I'm just sorta guessing here.
