Default Re: +P Ammo Question?

One question I have for everybody too is that if 1911s can be built to handle 10mm Auto (which is a pretty hot load if I understand it correctly), why would they have a problem digesting +P .45ACP or .38 Super loads?

Granted the 1911 you're firing it from is a forged steel one which I always thought was a stronger metal than cast or stainless. It would certainly put more wear on it, but I don't know why it wouldn't be able to handle it.

Isn't the R1 made from forged steel?
