Never saw a 'need' for a 1911. In 1963, I had one
bought from gov't in 45 acp ($19). I Shot it for a few years and sold it down the river. Never felt it was target shooter, except in 45 1911 class. Worthless for hunting or CCW. Great for a military person who doesn't need a rifle! BUT, just saw a new Rock Island M1911-A1 GI .38 Super Full-Size Pistol with 5" barrel. The 38 super is sort of a rimless 357 mag. might be more accurate than the 45acp? Price is $439 new. 38 Super 1911 are a premium firearm for Mexican drug people! Edited by BEAR |

I equate them to the 10mm. They are the hot round of the diameter. They use the same case as the .38 acp/ 38 auto. Cartridge of the 1903 Colt and others. The Super will peel open an auto after a few rounds. Brass or loaded ammo is not so easy to find. Excellent cartridge not sure why it never caught on other than some IDPA matches? Lots of bark and recoil are part of it. If you don't shoot it hot you might as well shoot 9mm. DD |

difference. but a cool pistol. |

I have always wanted a 1911 in .38 Super. The only one I
have ever seen in person was either chrome or nickel. It was too shiney for me but a matte blued or Parkerized one would be great. Wing master |

I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.

BEAR;
To expand on DD's point, if I were interested in one, it wouldn't be from that manufacturer. I'd look at Colt, S&W, or Dan Wesson. Yeah, any of the three will be far more expensive. OTOH, they'll be far more reliable and have a far better warranty should you need it. 900F |

If I was to get one, it'd be in long slide and probably 10mm. The main reason 38 super is popular in Mexico, firearms chamber in military round are prohibited and they do enforce their firearms law.
38 super was popular, in days of car bandits, because they'd penetrate a car better. They had some following in IPSC, because they could make major and have increased capacity over 45. http://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/38-super/ I checked into getting one before and depending on how they're chambered, they can have accuracy issues. https://americanhandgunner.com/loading-the-38-super/ https://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=485374 |
