M&P 45 convert to 40 super...?

[quepasakimosabe]

Anyone know of a resource for barrels to do this. It may be a custom job...know a blank supplier or a smith with some free time.

If you find a barrel, I have the Starline brass (unfired) and dies. I always liked the 40 Super, so much I bought the brass and dies before the barrel. Never got the barrel. I do have a 45 Super though, converted by Ace himself.

Any update on a source for barrels? I REALLLLLY like the potential of this cartridge. It seems you need a g21 and LW barrel if you're a fan...otherwise you're SOL

What is a .40 Super? Is it anything like a 10mm?

Quote:
The .40 Super is a heavy duty lengthened case similar to the .45 Auto cartridge but necked down to .40" caliber. Developed by Triton Cartridge. Conversion Systems can be found at Barsto Barrels or Clark Custom Guns.

Triton developed several medium-high pressure cartridges to be used in a beefed up 1911 platform. The 45 Super is a high performance number that is dimensionally identical to the 45 ACP. I use the Super cases sometimes for hot, hot 45 ACP loads. The cases have a reinforced web.
