Hi guys. will a 5 inch 1911 .400 CorBon barrel fit into a CBOB or other Commander?

Anyone here run the .400 CorBon??

I had an Ed Brown .400 barrel - worked great on a full-size S&W. The .400 CorBon ammo shot fine - handled like a .45 +p. I determined there really wasn't a need for it though as the CorBon was expensive and didn't offer all that much over good .45.

It could be due to inexperience, but from a practical and observer's standpoint, I never understood the .400 Corbon. Shoot the lightest .40 caliber projectiles at middle of the road 10mm Auto velocities without the capacity of the 10mm Auto :confused:

Okay so you can just drop the barrel into your regular .45...big deal. It doesn't really do anything a 165 or 185 gr +P .45 can't go, does it? From here, I think if I am going to be stuck with the magazine capacity of a .45, I'd rather have the frontal diameter and mass associated with a .45. If I want real .40 caliber firepower, I'll get a 10mm Auto (been there, done that). But going with the worst of both worlds seems like a solution to a non-existant problem.

Admittedly, as a 10mm Auto fan, I could be and probably am a little biased. The .400 Corbon ranks right up there with the so-called .40 S&W +P as a clearly desperate and almost laughable attempt to not get a 10mm Auto. But whatever.

I see your point. I want a conversion for my CBOB that utilizes my 10mm
and 45 acp components.

ED Brown no longer offers a .400 CB barrel.
