Always wanted to know from 1911 experts:
About 60 years ago many thought the Colt 1911 was a great handgun but it kicked too much. So they brought out a version in 38 super.
Why didn't they bring out a version in 9mm Luger instead? The current "American Rifleman" has an article about 9mm 1911s.
Think you are a little short on time span. 38 Super was introduced in 1929. A hot 38 ACP for police. It was obsoleted pretty much in 34 with the introduction of the 357 mag. The only thing that really revived it were the run and gun IPSC, USPSA.
