I had a .38 Super 1911 and rebarrelled to s 45 Auto.
BEST yet.
There was zero problem controlling the .38 Super in rapid fire just as thete was no problem controlling the
45 auto, even with 300gr. flat points. Perhaps that is a personal thing.




I'm not am expert by any means. Still learning, gaining experience.

I've a 1911 STI Trojan in .38 Super. Shooting +P .38 Super it makes a snappy bang, very noticeable by others, they comment on it. I don't notice any recoil issues. Maybe I'm slower shooting but I need practice, it's not the recoil IMO.

I have no idea if it's more effective in self defence. It's the "magnum", velocity debate. Is a higher velocity, maybe heavier bullet more effective? Or a larger calibre? My licence conditions are that it's a range target handgun.

The advantage I see for 9 mm is easier and cheaper to buy ammo.

I'd have one of each. And a ,45.
