I have Supers in both the 1911 and Glock 21 platforms.

As Gunner pointed out, the 1911 is great, just make sure you either have "Super" brass or a fully supported barrel. It's easier to calm the slide velocity down with a couple of tricks besides springs.

The Glock offers a lower bore axis, larger grip to spread recoil, and some flex in the frame. You absolutely should get an aftermarket barrel, the OEM design is lacking in support but is reliable as hell with ACP loads. Doesn't take too long to get "smileys", but with a supported barrel, even ACP cases can be used to develop some rather stout loads.

I recommend barrels for either one go to CylinderHone for a throat treatment. It's not expensive and turnaround is fast, does wonders with pressure, and is designed around shooting heavy cast bullets. I generally use 250/255s at 1050 to 1100 fps.

At this point, I'd say "what platform do you like"?
