If factory produced .45 Super 1911-A1s were marketed to outdoorsmen, would demand for the 10MM evaporate?
I doubt it The 45 Super still comes up short compared to 10mm. The best DoubleTap 10mm loads beat 45 Super by 100 ft lbs energy and 10mm will out penetrate 45. 10mmo holds more rounds and recoils less too.
If someone has a standard 45 ACP pistol Buffalo Bore makes a load with the same 255 gr bullet loaded about 150 fps slower for those guns. The extra speed isn't that much help when it comes to penetration so I'm betting it is just as good.
I'm leaving the house in 5-10 minutes to go hunting in black bear country. I'll be carrying a Smith M&P Compact 45 ACP on my hip loaded with this Buffalo Bore ammo. I'm sure it will be enough if needed.
