400 Corbon vs .45, etc
APF1013:
Hey guys. Sorry for the newby type question. So as I understand it, 400 Corbon is a .45, correct? So if I have a Glock 45 Model 21, can I shoot the 400 Corbon or I can ONLY shoot .45 ACP? I am relatively new into pistols and really don't understand how ammo works and can't keep everything straight. There are so many rules and names and I can't seem to figure out how to understand it all. Thanks for your help.
Mntnman:
You need at least a barrel swap to shoot 400 corbon. It is a 45 case necked down to 40 caliber.
APF1013:
So could I shoot the 400 Corbon through a Glock 40 Model 27?
See why I am so confused. It is a 400 Corbon which is a 45 but is really a 40. I don't get it.
hilowe:
Not an expert on this, but my understanding is, it's a 45 case, that is then necked down to hold a 40 caliber bullet.
So, to shoot it, like Mntnman said, you'd need to do a barrel swap on your Glock 21. The Glock will hold magazines sized for the 45 caliber case, but the original barrel that comes with it isn't appropriate for the 40 caliber bullet that you're asking about shooting. Not sure if you could take the Glock 27 barrel (40 caliber(?)) and use it in the Glock 21.
Edit: Found a picture on the internet.
The middle round is 400 corbon, the right one is a 45. Does that help explain it?
APF1013:
So I cannot shoot a 400 Corbon through a Glock 40, but could only shoot it through a Glock 45 if I had a modified barrel? What is the point of the 400 Corbon then?
