.38 Super
« on: November 27, 2008, 10:23:51 PM »
Hey kind of got a lead on a .38 Super in 1911.  Anybody had experiences with these?  Good or Bad?  Probably going to pick it up anyways but just curious.  Suggestions on ammo?  Normally odd ball (as I call em) rounds dont grab my attention but I like 1911s and the deal is sweet (300.00 bucks).

The mexican gang bangers seem to love them.  ;)

I'd check the Brian Enos web site and see if there are any suggested loads posted in the forums.

You don't want that! Let me get it, and then you will not have to worry about it. ;D

Lol, its a stock RIA and thinking of setting it up more for the wife...she does not like the .45's.  Duracoat it pink or something for her with bright green grips  ;D ;D ;D just kind of curious if any of you had first hand experience with them.

Lol, no pictures yet...have not bought it yet!

http://www.gunsamerica.com/914811549/Guns-For-Sale/Gun-Auctions/Pistols/Armscor-Pistols/Rock_Island_1911A1_38_Super.htm

But here is a link to one and this is what it looks like.  I am thinking of giving it to my wife for home defense (.45 is a little to much for her, does not like to shoot it) instead of buying her the Beretta 92 in 9mm.  But I here it is kind of "iffy" in the reliability area (ammo wise) due to lack of manufactures producing it...going instead to the .357Sig and .40.  It may become a closet gun but for that price...got to get it.

I'm sure it's been said, but for a home defense gun for a person who doesn't shoot much, I think a DAO type of gun would be best. No safety to flip off.

And in fact, a mag disconnect may even be a good thing... you could train your wife to drop the mag if attacked and the gun was going to be wrestled away.

Just sayin :-)

I have the same gun (tactical version w/an ambi safety and tactical sites) in .45 and think it's well made.
