If you have the knowledge, let discuss the 45 Super, and the guns that shoot it. Also bear guns, exotic high powered ammo, and the like.
After several years of looking for a bear gun, looking at the normal 44 mag, 357 mag, 10mm buffalo bore BS and so on. I stumbled upon a caliber that was unknown to me: 45 Super. ( I am not a caliber aficionado)
I had never had the justification of buying an expensive pistol ( since there are many affordable options in the 600-700$ range that are reliable, and accurate).... ............and always wanted a USP45. Having the option while in service to carry the Mark 23, I always wanted the USP series as a smaller option.
Little did I know, that the USP, with no change from the factory gun, (springs barrel etc) was needed to shoot reliably, and without adverse effects, the 45 Super. So the choice was made, and I got a USP45 Tactical, for a bit more $.
So far, as expected, it has been flawless, and match accurate, with basically everything I feed it. With good stuff, it is a one hole pistol at 15 yards. Probably 200 +p and Super, and 400 rounds various standard pressure rounds so far.
Man does the 45 Super has some juice! Underwood 255 45 Super hard cast sure make the steel clang, and the hand wake up.ss So far the best performer as far as accuracy has been Underwood FMJ in +P, and Winchester Ranger T-series.
Of course most are at applicable ranges for pistols, but because the USP was developed as an offense gun, I do cover 100 yards on steel silhouette just to do it.
