I've shot some of the Rowland stuff and that does not cause too much alarm, the ammo looks warm but not the classic primer flattening BB stuff. Some of it is HOT! How the gun is set up is very important. Using a "kit" was a good idea, parts should be well engineered.

But that old gun is not designed for that rough treatment. The swinging link has lots more moving parts than some late autos. Its a machine, things are in time. I experimented with a G21 Glock using custom throating, chambered muzzle brake, hefty springs. It no doubt greatly accelerates wear, but the round is impressive if it will feed it. The Glock seems more tolerant than the 1911. I've done very naughty things with the G21 platform in .45 and 10mm cal.
