New RIA in my Future? POLL

[DaFadda]

Possible... The question is: I am already invested in a few 45 1911's, and am thinking: Do I NEED another one in .45? Or should I consider a 9mm or a .38 Super. So, if I can figure out how to do a poll, I'm asking the question.
9mm RIA or .38 Super RIA. If I get the .38 Super, I'll reload for it, no question!

I like 9mm because ammo is cheaper and if you want to reload it you can generally get once fired brass for little or nothing. I like my 38 Super too, it's been more reliable than the 9's but it cost more to shoot.

I want a 38super

I voted 38 super because I have always wanted one of these:

$126/1000 for 38 Super Brass at Starline. Would last around 5000 rounds with 5 reloads per piece IF I was able to pick up every round off the range (not...). Small primer, 4.7 gr of powder... really inexpensive to reload. Some suppliers recommend loading the .38 cal (.357) 125 gr JHP... for which I have some 4000 rounds stockpiled (misordered from Montana Gold). Hmmmm... I'm thinking....

I would think running .357 38 Special through it would wear it out quicker. I like to shoot light bullets in my 38 Super race gun so I run 115 grain .355 9mm bullets or sometimes 95 grain .356 380 bullets. I'm also using Starline +P brass.

I voted in your poll but I think you are going in the wrong direction. I had .38, 45, 9mm, 380, and on and on. I made the decision to go exclusively to .45 except for .22 and a BUG in 380. It helps logisically. You establish your favorite load easily and reduces costs as you don't have to invest in multiple types of bullets, dies, etc. For me, it just made life simpler when I have enough complicated in other areas. YMMV

I am a 10mm freak! I recently bought my first 38 super, now I have three. Speed of 10mm less recoil and cheaper to shoot.
