Ok here are the details.

1911-a1

.45 super

serial is N362###

Top says S.A .45Auto

It looks like a longer champion.

The guy wants $450 for it. When we took it apart a white round plastic washer was broken so I need to get another one.

Also it has an adj trigger on it.

You'll have to change out the recoil spring to get it to run with .45 ACP ammo more than likely.

Q: The December issue's Gun of the Month is chambered for a round called the .45 Super. What exactly is the difference between the .45 Super and the .45 ACP?

Jim Golden
Dobson, NC


A: In a word, power. The .45 Super is a beefed up .45 ACP case and drives a 230-grain bullet at 1,100 fps and 185 grainers as fast as 1,300 fps. Developed by Dean Grennel, the .45 Super was made by shortening .451 Detonics cases (which had a beefier case based itself on the .45 Win Mag) to .45 ACP length, reducing the firing pin hole to keep primer flow under control and adding heavier recoil springs. Fitting a barrel fully supporting the chamber is a big plus. Although .45 Super will chamber in a .45 ACP barrel, shooting such will batter an unconverted 1911 to pieces in short order.

Today, Buffalo Bore (P.O. Box 78, 100 Freeman Creek Rd., Carmen, ID 83462, 208/756-8085, Home Page) is one of the only companies currently making .45 Super ammunition. Starline (1300 West Henry, Sedalia, MO 65301, 660/827-6640, Starline Brass - Maker of America's Finest Handgun Brass) makes reasonably priced high-quality .45 Super brass.


One shop specializing in building and converting 1911s, S&W autos and Glocks into .45 Supers is Ace Custom 45s (596 CR 2250, Cleveland, TX 77327, 281/659-1017, Ace Custom 45s, Inc.).

I'm thinking it's an older custom model.They have been firing regular .45 ammo in it with no problems.

The guys grandfather was a gunsmith and he might have changed the spring. He is not sure.

I got a hold of SA and they said it's a custom gun. It was made in 97 and they don't have the exact specs anymore.

They said a base custom is $1500 and they go up from there.

It has a match grade barrel and a bunch of extra stuff.

This is a really nice SA. It has a match grade barrel and just about every upgrade.

 

[blacksunshine]

[bjl95mustang]
