Has anyone actually known anyone to fire anything but 9 Largo out of one?

I am curious because of the need to slim down my personal collection.. I am trying to limit it to less calibers in general and guns that I can afford to shoot.. this would give me a solid argument to keep my beloved 400.. it can shoot anything!

Any real life experiances would be of great help. I have already read every magazine article I can find and we know how reliable American Rifleman and such really are...

Hi:

.38 Super through it equals a blow-up!! Don't believe everything you read, as a lot of this was "marketing" for a pistol with no matching ammo commercailly available, typical for the 1950s and 1960s wholesalers.
