Great responses, and definitely a tough choice.
But I've decided to go with 38 Super to start, and then keep my eye out for a nice commander 45 if it turns out I like 1911s, which I'm pretty sure I will 😉
I have 1911's in all 3, 9mm,38 Super and 45.........Love all 3
something to consider with the 38 Super that has not been mentioned yet is that none of mine shoot all that well with factory ammo.
most factory ammo uses .355" bullets like the 9mm's. mine shoot much better using .356" or even .357" bullets, hope you hand load or know somebody that does.
Properly loaded it is my favorite of the 3
