I mean if you have some sort of information, I'm all ears!

I've shot the Springfield 1911 in 10mm. The frame is beefed up, the slide seems heavier than a govt 1911, and the recoil spring is much tougher. The chamber is fully supported. It's essentially a 1911 on weight training.
Similarly, the .40 Browning hi-power had a heavier slide and a much stiffer recoil spring.
By contrast, the Kimber and Colt 40's were merely 1911s chambered in .40.
I have shot and examined all these guns and their counterparts in original chambering.
