It's roughly the same as the hottest 10mm loads, but requires nothing more
than a barrel swap (and possibly a recoil spring).  Same magazine, no frame
or slide mods, nothing.  .400 cCorBon brass is basically .45ACP brass necked
down to .40, and it headspaces off the shoulder.  I'm itching to give it a
go, but am holding off untill I have a set of dies for my reloader, and can
load my own.

If Ohio ever adopts CCW legislation I'm likely to go for a 4" Taurus Tracker
in .45 ACP (revolver)
.  Odd state, open carry is legal and protected, but
concealed carry is illegal.  It saw a good review recently in a mag I read
(shooting times?) and comes in my favorite caliber...
