Yes but not even the vaunted 10mm will do the same things that a hot .45 Colt +P will do.
The grip frame only is alloy. The frame itself is steel and a large frame. It has no load limitations I know of and will handle Tier 3. The flattop has a smaller frame and cylinder is is restricted in its strength but not because of the grip frame, which is steel. I disagree with the above quote. But...I've been wrong before.. The .45 convertible, being on the lighter frame, is not rated for Tier 3 loads.
