Hello,
I have a S&W .45 ACP model 625 revolver. It functions great with standard and +P ammo. I was wondering if it is safe to use .45 Super ammo in it? There would be no case support problems as in a semi auto as the round is fully supported for its entire length. My guess would be that cylinder strength would be the determining factor? An thoughts on the safety of using this higher pressure round in a revolver?
Thanks
 
Im a little curious my self. Do you know what the operating pressures are for the 45 super in comparison to the 45acp?...fubsy.

No personal experience, but I've read its 28000 psi vs. 21000 (?) psi. Check outTtriton's website and Ace's Custom for more info. I don't have the URL's handy at the moment.
 
I have two 625s with the .460 Rowland conversion. These fire hotter loads than the Super without any problems. For more details see the Clark Custom Guns website.
