I have worked up 45acp in a rifle until the primer fell out.
That is way up there ~ 60 kpsi.
But in a semi auto pistol with a reasonable slide mass and a reasonable recoil spring force, the recoil should stop the work up before 20 kpsi.
Before 20kpsi is reached, the cases should be landing at least 5 feet away and the slide should start hammering the frame.
20 kpsi pressure, there is nothing to see.
The word 'forum" does not mean "not criticizing books."
"Ad hominem fallacy" is not the same as point by point criticism of books. If you bought the book, and believe it all, it may FEEL like an ad hominem attack, but you might strive to accept other points of view may exist.
Are we a nation of competing ideas, or a nation of forced conformity of thought?
