I shoot the .45 super 255 gr. hard cast from Underwood advertised at 1075 fps. From my Glock 21 with a 6” jarvis barrel I get an average of 1102 fps for 688 fpe. I handload the 120 gr. Lehigh Extreme defense bullet in super cases for an average of 1904fps for 967 fpe. The .45 super case has more volume than a 10 mm case, so it can produce more power at a given pressure level.

Great video! Thanks. As a guy who's treated many gunshot wounds, I think ballistic gel is not quite accurate. I like the ham thing. Put a half rack of beef with the ribs in front of the ham. That way it's more like a bear or a person. Sometimes bullets actually hit the bone or miss the bone and go through the body. Everybody does ballistic gel but when you actually see a gunshot it's weird. The bullet will sometimes travel weird directions if they bounce off a bone or go under skin and stuff. Especially pistol rounds.

And after seeing the 10mms having issues and the price of plinking ammo of 10mm at 40sw power I think I’m just going back to the good ol USP45T. It’s been a dream gun of mine, I’d use it as a home defense gun with regular 45acp ammo and be able to plink with cheaper and more available 45acp and be able to run 45 super and get close to 10mm performance. Far more versatile than 10mm. But could you imagine a 10mm USP?! My god I’d get one lol

Another must upgrade is a 31N striker spring. 13rd mags will not be reliable with 230gr and 255gr 45super, but the G30 mags are no problem as long as they are the Gen4(Ambi).

The problem with most 45 super hollowpoints are that they are designed for .45 acp velocities. 900 fps max. When you push those projectiles faster they only get 6 or 7" of penetration because of the excess velocity. If you do a search on Military arms channel he had a great gel video on it. It was shocking how bad it was, those bullets just weren't designed to penetrate deep enough when going that fast. I forget if he used buffalo bore or underwood. You would probably be better off using standard old military .45 ball ammo in all seriousness. Unless those bullets were specifically designed to be shot out of 45 super with that added velocity. I will try to find that video. Here's that video... Around 13 mins in kzitem.info/news/bejne/sGql0oGJnoiLi4I

To your point…that is why I like the Lehigh solid copper Extreme Defense fluted bullets. They don't expand, or deform, and they are much harder than copper jacketed bullets, so they penetrate deep, are barrier blind, and can be driven at incredible velocities. They are expensive, so that is a negative, but I reload most of my ammo, so that keeps the overall costs down.

From what I could tell In the video he also shot the 45 super out of a shorter barrel which reduced the speed to roughly 1100fps. The 1100 45 super traveled same distance as the 10mm. However when the 45sup loads were shooting at 1300fps there was a decrease in penetration to 7” as a result of premature expansion due to the increased velocity. So it appears that 1100fps is the approximately the ideal velocity to mitigate premature expansion and maximum penetration.

Excellent video, but I still wouldn’t run super through my .45 USP. I just don’t feel that the recoil spring is tuned for it. Some people do get Gen 3 Glock 21’s with an aftermarket fully supported chambered barrel and a 22, 23 or 24lb recoil spring and stainless steel guide rod. That’s what I would do, but then again, I shoot heavy 10mm lead hard cast out of a Gen 3 Glock 20 and with a 22lb recoil spring. It works. That’s just me, because I don’t reload and 10mm is much easier to find in various specialty “boutique” loads than .45 Super is. But I think the Glock offers more versatility and load options due to various aftermarket quality recoil springs that are available, unlike the USP. If I didn’t have the 10mm collection that I’ve amassed, I’d stick with hot .44magnum loads in my Ruger Blackhawk or my .454Casull from my Freedom Arms. That’s just me though.
