What pressure can the xd-45 service pistol take?

What is the pressure the xd-45 service pistol can take before any type of problem occures? Say from hand loads.

I think the OP means hand loads as in reloading. How much powder can the barrel take before it KABOOMs.

Not sure exactly, but I know it's pretty sturdy. Read an article in American Handgunner about +P+ handloads in the XD-45. He had replicated the performance of a 240gr. .45 Colt in .45 ACP. I'd say work carefully and keep an eye out for signs of excessive pressure.

thats what i would have though had he not said \\\"from hand tools\\\"

oh crap he said hand loads not hand tools. lol i am retarded.

well if you look at it there is still a very small portion that isnt supported in the chamber area but it can take more then a glock i would think.

but its a tough question to answer because there are sooooo many variables. something that would work in one gun might blow up a gun just like it. just start low and load up and keep an eye out for excess pressures. personally i load on the low side. if i want something hot i buy a factory +p round or factory +p+ its just not worth the risk for me. and plus light loads are easier on the gun and brass

I ran across this on the net ..... Don't count on it's accuracy because I did not take it from the SAMMI website. In fact I can't seem to find their website, but I've been there before.
Quote:
SAMMI Pressure Standard:

.45 Colt - 14,000 PSI

.45ACP - 21,000 PSI

.45ACP+P - 23,0000
If you figure out how to determine what load meets these pressures, and more importantly how to verify the pressure .... Please post what/how you determined it ... I'm curious.

ETA:
The numbers are very close to what HOGDON lists for a std. max. pressure. They show a top of 20,100psi

Springfield told me on the phone that it would be okay with .45 SUPER.

Of course.. someone on a phone told me that.
