Someone asked me this and I really didn't know the answer, so I though I'd check here.
How do 1911 clones chambered for the 10mm cartridge hold up over long term? I mean, the 10mm cartridge is considerably higher pressure than .45ACP, and a lot of shooters don't even like to use +P .45 becuase they think it'll batter the gun. I'm sure that the 10mm guns have heavier recoil spings, but are they reinforced in any other way? Is slide/frame battering an issue? How much heavier is the recoil spring than a stock .45 pistol?
Seems to me, though, that the 10mm gun would have a lot more steel around the chamber than a .45 caliber, and that probably helps.
Thanks.
