Factory Glock barrel, no problem.

Anyone know of a place that just sells the hardcast projectile-not a complete cartridge?

Check Missouri Bullet Company. They sell bullets with different alloys for different applications, and list them by BHN. I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but they have a decent selection and they're a good company...I've ordered from them in the past.

Check out my buddy Chuke’s YouTube channel. Video he did on .45ACP +P Underwood loading with 220gr XTreme Penetrator bullets.

He does a lot of what I call redneck ballistics shooting into water jogs, pork loins, ceramic plates, etc. Lots of videos on 10mm and some on .45 ACP +P and .45 Super as well. Look for a couple of his M&P 10mm videos nd you might even see me.

In the meantime, just get the XTen Comp, you know you want it…

What does one have to do to convert a HK45 or 1911 to 45 super? ETA: or Sig 220?

I have watched quite a bit of his stuff because he puts a lot of time into woods carry guns, and actually tests the true full-house loads that I might actually carry. It seems that there's a lot of guns out there that will shoot the whimpy .40 S&W-level 10mm loads just fine, but choke when you get into the hot 200-220 grain stuff.

You make a compelling argument for the X-Ten comp, and I already have a solid working knowledge of the P320 platform and a lot of parts. I'd still much prefer DA/SA or DAO, though.

My general understanding of .45 Super is with a Glock 21, where most folks are going with a stronger recoil spring and a fully supported barrel. As for HK - I think the USP 45 will handle Super in its stock config. I don’t know if that holds true for the HK45 though. USP 45c and HK45c probably also would need some mi or tweaks to handle the Super.

In the 1911, it’s just a spring change. And maybe a supported ramped barrel if you don’t already have one.
