The age old .45 Super in the .45 ACP barrel question. Plenty of guys do it. If you read enough forums alot of them prefer Match Grade barrels and use Springfield(Loaded Model) 1911's. However, most agree that without a proper conversion it is not a good idea to feed an unramped .45 ACP pistol a steady diet of .45 Super. I haven't read about any exploding pistols, though I'm sure enough Google time could find a few. The Armscor armorer was erring on the side of caution. I would do the same. Properly convert the pistol or purchase a newly manufactured .45 Super pistol. Funny thing about humans, we ain't like starfish, our extremities don't grow back once blown off.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!
