Heavy 45 loads.

Not reloads,but factory.
Anyone try heavy +p [255gr BB,underwood etc] or 45 super in their CW45.
I was looking at the barrel and it looks fully supported.
This would be for woods or trail use, less than a box a year after testing.

Haven't used them. I think it is a bad idea and will cause you problems and possible injury accidents. If you think you need those for carry in the woods or for extreme use, just buy a 45 Super gun or better yet a 44 mag or any larger cal gun designed for the cartridge you want to shot. Don't push the limits on the 45 cal ACP.

You can use 45 cal +P but not +P+. Safety First

Agreed. I think you are pushing the limits of the firearms intended design. Personally I am looking for the right revolver for those 45 heavy loads. (Long colt) be safe.

Don't carry them for self defense. You stand a greater risk for prosecution and you will likely hear "Dirty Harry" and "Make my day" during your trial. That's why I stick to LEO loads.

Banter is fine as is fun.
How ever I ask a serious question but received little information to the point that one wonders if the pose was read completely.
if this is the norm, please advise and I will make allowances .
do not mean to offend just obtain information.

Looks like you got three serious answers..........................either no one has tried what you have suggested, or you don't like their answers. Either way, your on the internet, remember? Grain of salt my friend.

[berettabone]

Personally, I would side with b4uqzme.....................I would not shoot that load out of any semi auto..................I would also opt for a revolver to shoot those loads, much safer. I don't think it would be good for your Kahr, even if it was only occasionally.

Roger the "grain of salt"
Double tap has a 450smc load that is put up in heavy cases,SP primers,255gr cast bullet at 1030fps.
Called factory , they claim that any +p rated fullsize gun can shoot it.
Have you seen the New TP45 Gen 2????
That one has my interest!!!!!!!!!!
Ps Ohio now allows 45acp for Deer[5in barrel min]

I have played around with .45 super with a Glock 21 that I fitted with a fully supported barrel, new guide rod and spring, and a buffer. I haven't been able to get it to feed well, and it definitely batters the gun. I don't think that I would try it without modification, and maybe not even then. If you do, make sure you report back. I am curious.

G:

I occasionally shoot 45 Super out of my XD 45 Tactical and cannot imagine shooting them out of a smaller lighter gun.
My 45 Tac is upgraded with a much heavier recoil spring and a solid steel guide rod. Neither of which is available on the CW45, to the best of my knowledge.
My personal opinion; you would lose much of the energy from a 45 Super out of a 1.5" shorter bbl. Plus risk doing damage to yourself and the gun.

HTH.

Groo... sorry you took offense to my caution about heavy loads for defense. A lot of folks read this forum and get bright ideas that can get them in trouble. "I read it on the internet" doesn't work so well in court. I don't care what loads you shoot "in the the woods". I checked it out a while back looking at very heavy rounds for Glock and they cautioned to put a heavy recoil spring and a recoil buffer because the slide will become a "slam" and possibly hurt the gun and/or you. After becomming educated on the matter I passed on the notion.

Again please don't take offense as I mean none.
