I am totally enjoying this thread! A 38 Super 1911 will be on my short list of guns to aquire when I am back in an aquisition mode, for sure.

How does the 38 Super stack up with other rounds for one shot stops etc? Anyone have data or such for it? With the right bullets, it seems to be it should be right there with the 357Magnum 125gr loads which were considered pretty effective for a long time. If Hornaday were to make a Critical Duty load for it, that one would have to be a pretty snappy and capable loading, one would assume.

LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.
