There seems a (re)surging trend in placing some very powerful cartridges in the 1911 platform. (.45 & .40 Super, .45SMC, and .38 Casull are all recent concoctions, 10mm and 9x23mm a bit older.)
I wondered, what effect this has on gunlife. Will, for example, a 9x23mm gun, properly built, last as long as a .45 of the same quality of fit?
A 10mm as long a 9x23?
