If you shot one round and the pistol is intact, you are probably good to go.

Truth be told, I cant imagine a 45 acp round blowing up a 1911

45 acp is a pretty low velocity round and the 1911 is mighty stout.

Has anyone ever seen a 1911 go kaboom EVER?
Glocks go kaboom. 1911’s dont.

Glock wallows out the feed ramp to aid in flawless feed of the ammo.
This leaves part of the case unsupported by the chamber and could result in case blow out with a hot round.

I have seen this happens a few times.
The case blows out at the rim, but it doesnt kaboom the pistol.

BTW, why does glock have to add to the confusion factor with .45 GAP?

Nonsense. Any weapon can Kb! given the right set of circumstances. It's not unique to Glock, and it has nothing to do with supported vs. unsupported chambers. First up, here's your Kb!'d 1911:
1911 Kaboom!


Not convinced? Here's some more:
H&K Kaboom!

M1A Kaboom!

Tikka Kaboom!

Anaconda Kaboom!

They could have the wrong powder in the cases, they could have substantially too much. The loads could vary from round to round. Get a double charge and watch out.

Yes and yes. Depending on the choice of powder, it is possible to double charge and in some powders, nearly triple charge the .45 ACP case.

You double charge a .45 ACP round, you’re gonna have a bad time. You triple charge a case, you’re gonna have a worse time. Even in a 1911.

Yes, 1911’s can be blown up and have been. It takes a major issue or someone has to try really hard, but they do blow on occasion.
