400 Corbon vs .45, etc

<< < (4/4)

SemperFiGuy:
Here's how you find out:   You Try them.  That is, you run a dry (non-shooting) magazine loading test and see what's what.

Now....I'm not sure what you mean with respect to "normal" magazines.   If you have a .400Corbon pistol, it should/will have one (1) or more .400Corbon magazine(s) that came with the handgun.  They go together in a set.

Now...if you are using .45ACP magazines from another handgun, those other magazines may not even fit into the .400Corbon magazine well.   You could GENTLY try inserting them, but DO NOT force anything.   Things could get stuck.

Generally, the .400Corbon is a .45ACP derivative, which means that cartridges in both of these calibers will probably load into the same magazine.   Same as my .357SIG is a .40S&W derivative, and both of these cartridges will fit into the same magazine.   In my Glock33 the .357SIG and .40S&W magazines are also interchangeable.

Now.......It appears that you could use some hands-on help.   If you live in Omaha or reasonably close by, I'd be glad to visit with you as needed to help you get all of this lined out so that you are confident in your own right.

One More Thing:

It appears that maybe you have a Glock 21 in .45ACP.   I'm uncertain as to how you've gotten into a .400Corbon unless you have a Glock21 with a .400Corbon conversion barrel.

If you do have a Glock 21 with a .400Corbon conversion barrel and want to shoot .45ACP, then just buy a standard Glock 21 .45ACP barrel from just about any Glock store.  Install the Glock .45ACP barrel and shoot .45ACP.   The Glock 21 magazines are made specifically for .45ACP.

You will still want to consider reloading if you plan to do any significant amount of shooting.

SemperFi, you are the man.  I really appreciate you taking the time to help a newby like myself.  My father passed away 10 years ago and he was a professional outdoorsmen.  He left me all of his firearms, which is amazing, yet overwhelming.  I was raised hunting in the fields, so pistols are relatively new to me.  I have shot a vast majority of them, but it was with his direction, so I don't have the in and out knowledge that I am now going for.  I am constantly reading up on articles, blogs, etc., basically anything I can get my hands on to help me understand all these different firearms I now have.  So your direction means a lot to me.  If you have any advice on literature to help me along my way, please let me know.

Thank you!
