I do not know if a 4506 is a candidate for conversion
In addition to a stiffer spring for the 4506, the barrel must have a fully supported chamber.
I do not own a 4506 to examine. Pull your barrel and check it first. |
I notice that you include the S&W 625 in your guns that can shoot the 45 Super.
Tritron back in the day had the 625 listed in their 45 Super info as capable of handling the 45 Super so I and a friend were both loading and shooting it in our revolvers. I contacted Sierra's online experts about which bullet they would recommend for whitetail hunting and was told that the 45 Super could ruin the pistol. I used that gun for pin shooting so I quit shooting the Supers in it.
My friend kept shooting them and all of a sudden his groups opened way up. If you look where the cylinder turning notch is, it sits right over the chamber making the wall paper thin. The 45 Super will cause a bulge to form there if loaded to max.
