10 mmm glock with a 6" barrel and a burris fast fire. It is not a .41 mag but there is a lot going on when you pull the trigger. 25 yds. is easey for it
With custom loads a truly hot 10 is close to the 460 Rowland

It's obviously rough on the platform but for hunting applications it will manage it. That plastic frame flexes and wallows where aluminum or steel is stressed. It's odd how something with a little give can absorb more, spreads the forces out.
Factory 10mm is very whimpy these days except for Underwood, DoubleTapp, specialty loads etc. Many don't look past 200 gr. bullets but with cast you can do 220/230 gr. THAT is a hammer, plus you have the 6" fixed breach barrel too. Heck I get 1000 fps not trying with 180-200 gr. in .40 S&W cast loads, duplicating the .38-40 Cowboy.
Longshot is a fantastic 10mm powder as is AA#7. The Glock is far superior in "feeding" odd bullet shapes compared to the 1911 that can be very finicky. At least from what I'm seeing. You just have to get past that funky trigger. I tend to pull left with all Glocks unless I really use trigger discipline. Some of those fancy trigger systems are truly better, the ZEV is a nice but expensive one.

business, he gave me his recipes for several of his cartridges. He got 1450 in a Government model 1911 with a 175 grain bullet and almost 1400 fps with a 185 grain bullet. The only thing he suggested was a rubber buffer to keep the abuse to the frame down. So I see no need for the Rowland round.

I put a Rowland kit in a Springfield range officer and never could get it reliable enough. Sometimes it would feed sometimes it wouldn't so I sold the kit and what ammo I had. I believe I had tried a 22lb and 24lb spring in it and neither one would work right. It would smear the back of the case pretty bad to, had a lot of pressure!
Sounds like a super rig.
