I would love to have some accurate information form an inside source.
That would be great, wouldn't it?

One last thought for the original question. Let's remember that S&W made the Model of 1917 with little or no heat treatment. People have been safely shooting standard pressure .45 ACP in these old war horses for almost a century.

So unless S&W hatched a diabolical plot to somehow make their modern .45 Colt cylinder even weaker than the .45 ACP cylinders they made in 1917, you would sure think anything up to at least 21,000 psi would be completely safe.
