Some say it's not potent enough for personal protection. 38 super is a nice shooting round, more potent than a 9mm and less recoil than the 45acp. You really can't go wrong and I couldn't make up my mind, hence the multiple 1911s in the house.

It's cool you have 'em all.....they all can do the job if we do ours....My kids and I do shoot alot of 9mm, and they are busting me for a 9mm 1911...I don't know if I can pull that trigger just yet, but I am arthritic.
