People don't buy .45 Auto firearms for velocity.
If they wanted speed, they'd buy something else.
People buy .45s for, "big hole, heavy bullet." (And false nostalgia.)
Much more, and you're dealing with reliability and recoil issues.
Reliability can be dealt with.
Recoil is subjective.
But the average idiot just doesn't care to tinker, if they even know that it is possible; and they don't like recoil.
I can tell you from a personal perspective that the only reason I deal with .45 Auto is to feed suppressed firearms. I have no interest in more speed, nor .45 Auto, semi-auto handguns.
If I want more capacity, I buy something else.
If I want more speed, I buy something else.
If I want more recoil, I grab something else.
No interest -- from me, or the *vast* majority of .45 Auto shooters.
The horse has been thoroughly flogged.
Consensus: Not worth the effort.
