They’re proofed the same as any 1911 auto and are made to shoot the same ammo. Feed it anything you would feed a WW1-era 1911.I just have a quick question. Is it safe to fire modern ammo in a Colt 1917 ?
I have some hollow points I've kept in it but i realized it might not be a good idea. Just making sure so I don't ruin a 100 year old beauty.
Personally, I keep my Smith 1917 loaded with very hot but lower velocity than +P 240gr Sierras and am not at all bothered about shooting them.
