38 Super….the original 357 Sig!
Nothing. Shoot 38 super if you want something with an equally storied history that performs well in a 1911 (I can recommend a Baer)I’ve got to be honest I have only shot 45 and 10mm out of the 1911. I have never shot 9mm out of one….. I’ve shot 9mm out of other guns but can’t honestly wrap my head around it in a single stack 1911. Maybe I’m missing something but I prefer 45 even to 10mm in a 1911…. Just feels right. What am I missing when it comes to single stack 9mm over 45??
Back in the '70's I carried a Colt Lightweight Commander in .45. Loved that thing but it was one of the guns I had to sell to make it through a divorceI’ve recently began a love affair with the Commander sized 1911 in both steel and lightweight. I’ve shot 2011’s and consider them a whole different beast. But just can’t wrap my head around 9mm in a 1911….. although I was eyeballing a DW Guardian in 38 super last week.
Oh, and I guess I am kind of a JMB fan boi/snob cause I only consider Colts when it comes to the 1911.
Is that

You don’t know what you don’t know sometimes.Several years ago I could never comprehend what the big DEAL was about 1911's having never owned or even shot one. One friend in particular kept urging me to shoot one...you'd like it he said. Ya, whatever. It wasn't until a few years later when I finally did get to shoot one! Wow, what a smooth shooter! Well since then, I had to have one. Even though I still like my 30S, the 1911 is a fine classic pistol and one I may add to carry group when I get a commander size.
I know I know...what the hell took me SOOOO long?
I also just missed out on a Marlin Camp Carbine in .45 at my LGS; it sold too fast!
Don't be start'in nothing here. I'll hurt your feeling. lolY’all can’t have a discussion of .45 acp without looking at a
Colt Gold Cup National Match Series 70! Here’s mine.
