Best handgun round?

I don't really have a need for 10mm; reckon having a .45 that'll eat +P+ indefinitely will do whatever I'd need a 10mm for

Is that something that I'd need to have the gunsmith do? Also I have the 4506-0

The two rounds are externally exactly the same size, I imagine the only difference that you would need would be a stiffer recoil spring. There are also a few other parts that I imagine it would be a good idea to upgrade, but I think the recoil spring would be the only thing that you would really have to change. Thinking about it, I imagine that a spring meant for a 1006 would probably do.

I've done a little bit of reading and a lot of people recommend some kind of upgrade kit specifically talking about a recoil buffer or something like that, something along the lines of it being needed or .45 super will wear the gun out faster -and being that the 4506 is no longer supported by S&W that would suck

Is it still on the LAPD approved list? If so, you'd think there's be SOME support.

LAPD still authorizes it along with the 5906 which is also discontinued(which is also a NYPD issued firearm and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police standard issue firearm as well (5946)) Real shame really because the 3rd generation Smith & Wesson steel framed DA/SA handguns are probably my favorite handgun series hands down. I actually shoot my 3913 better then my issued M&P....probably because my M&P is in .40 caliber also barf

I think S&W will still make new parts and whole guns, if the order is large enough
