Short of the light (145/155/165gr) semi wad cutters that are loaded up and pushed hard to make major in IPSC I don't think you will find any supersonic 45 loads. Speed of sound is nominally about 1125, you are usually flattening primers by 1100.

If it's a factory 45ACP it probably won't be SS, and if it's over 185gr it will probably blow up before it gets there.
