I was thinking of maybe getting one of these un-needed, high-powered, new-fangled, yet-machismo-pleasing guns, all three of which are supposed to be possible via just a conversion of your .45 acp handgun, using .45 acp mags, which is of course appealing. What I want to know is:
1. Which one has the least amount of chamber pressure, and which will result in the least pounding on your gun, resulting in longer gun life? And what exactly are the standard/accepted chamber pressures of these three rounds, approx?
2. What are the ballistics of each? Triton's website shows some loading data and factory ammo data for the .45 super and .40 super, but does anyone have load data or factory claimed data for the .460 Rowland? Which one of these three is most efficient? Which would blast pins and plates the hardest?
For the factory Triton .40 super ammo, Triton is now claiming
1700 fps for 135 gr
1500 fps for 165 gr
1300 fps for 200 gr
Interesting that there's already factory ammo from Triton and some 6 or 8 barrel-makers making barrels for the .40 super already. Here to stay?
3. What other factors to consider? I think with .45 super, one can use .45 acp reload dies, but not sure. The .40 Super has more bullet choices.
What is THE strongest .45 acp pistol currently made, which will handle the conversion the best?
