Question keeps showing up, can you use the 45 Super in the G-21 ?
I remember someone telling me to switch to a 24 lb. recoil spring and shoot it, is this correct and does anyone actually know ? (for sure)

Yea I believe you can.  Just gotta convert some parts.  I don't shoot .45 so I don't really know.

I've shot some .45 Supers and .450SMCs through my G21.  Can't think of a practical use for the .45 Super, other than, perhaps hunting deer, but I'd think 10mm would be better for deer hunting.  

I used a threaded, compensated barrel and a 22# spring.

Thanks guys, I am finding quite a bit of information and it doesn't seem a problem to some, others say it will kill everyone in a 2000 mile radius of the explosion . I don't see a problem as the 45 Super runs at lower chamber pressures than the 10mm, exterior case dimensions are identical to the 45 acp and reloading components are readily available and not overly expensive. After the Hollidays it will be one of my first projects. I will let you know how it goes.
