I saw this post over at S&W.
Has anyone here tried it in a 460? Might it have some use in the 10mm pistols?

Seems like a reasonable idea. It is really just a fluid (air) damper at the end of the recoil stroke. I like the idea.
I agree.
I did not post their website as I found it not very informative. The instalation video was the best part.
I called the retailer and found out that they work on all 5" and 6" 1911 and customers are using them on 10mm and also other calibers.
The system is not cheap.

I have been looking a little deeper into this damper system and they make some amazing claims.
Here is a video of them shooting a standard Dan Wesson 45 ACP with a 460 Rowland barrel and with their damper installed.
First he shoots standard 45 ACP rounds followed by 460 Rowland rounds from the same magazine. He is using a 16# spring with the damper.
I shoot a Colt 1911 converted to 460 Rowland with a comp and a 22# spring. Recoil is comparable to a "Hot" 10mm load in a standard 1911.
They have a lot of videos and most are very amatuerish.

What do you guys think?
