Really? Dang. Learn something new every day!

I saw that article years ago. Doesn't really convince me as it is too anecdotal, and no way to really verify it

Do you have a source for this?

I was considering a Glock 21 .45 ACP. While looking into it, I ran across people who had experienced "kaBOOM's" with them. As in, a catastrophic failure of the gun blowing up. After looking into that, it seems that the culprit may be the partially unsupported case mouth, although this is also up...

I'm not concerned about accuracy at all, and as long as it doesn't shorten the life of the gun, I'm pretty sure I'm going to jump on it.

I really wanted a steel receiver, Mossberg is aluminum. I know Mossberg aluminum receivers are very good, I just have a preference.

Sounds like it... I think the new ones have interchangeable barrels if I'm not mistaken. I wonder if the new ones are as well made as the old ones...

I'm sure those would be fine, but I just have a bad taste in my mouth with Remington. I'd like to explore other options.

Now that duck season's about over here, it's time to evaluate inventory. Up until now I've been using two Remington 870's. One would consistently lock up and I wouldn't be able to work the action at all. I know that sounds weird and I even took it to gunsmiths several times. They did they're...

I thought so. I'd be surprised if .45 ACP could do that. But yes, I'd probably be shooting mostly jacketed rounds through it, cause that's what I shoot out of my 1911.

gas cutting, like on the top strap?

Well then sounds to me like I wouldn't be going wrong with a SRH Alaskan 454. I'd only be shooting .45 Colt anyway, so it's essentially an extra-extra heavy duty .45 Colt DA revolver

So then how do the oversized cylinder throats matter?

So the oversized throats don't put any extra stress on anything, like the bullet hitting the forcing cone and therefore stressing the frame?

Well, I'm more concerned about the bullet perhaps beating up the forcing cone or something, is that possible? And would that put stress on the frame? Longevity is my concern.
