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.

Interesting Alex. The actual size for 38 Super is a .356 fmj round nose. Many people are running .355 (9mm, 115 gr.) because it is an easy bullet to find. Hornady recommends a .357 round, although I would want to slug my barrel to find out what the exact tolerance is. IF I could use .357, which is only 1/1000 above the recommended .356 size, then the lead MAY actually spin better as it exits.
Or NOT. in whcich case I just had me a Kaboom! Da

I also plan to pick up an RIA, and it will likely not be a .45. A .38 Super would be good, and 9X21 or 9X23 would be even better.

Voted 38 Super because I too always wanted one but never took the step. Have at least 5 1911s in 45acp, 3 in 10mm and 1 in 9mm. I reload for all my guns so the 38 Super should not be an issue. Went with the 9mm only because cheap ammo is available for plinking if I do not feel like reloading plus it was only marginal difference in ballistics if I wanted it for SD.

wxl.... this is my line of thinking too.... I'm leaning toward a 9mm. I can always go back for the 38 Super, but no one seems to have one in stock. Also, the 9 has Novak vs. Milspec sights, and an extended beavertail for about 60 bucks more. hmmm.... there are always decisions and tradeoffs...
