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...

Mike,

And now RIA comes out with this 9mm/22TCM 1911.

Diabolical.

Best wishes.

Default 38 Super Question
In looking at my next project, one possibility that I am considering is a 9mm, or 38 super 1911. I notice when looking at ammunition suppliers, (I do not reload) that they seem to mostly sell 38 super +P. (Buffalo Bore only sold 38 super +P) Most manufacturers that I am aware of recommend against using + cartridges; and, it is my understanding that they are harder on the pistols.
I am interested in others experiences and opinions on using the 38 super plus + ammunition in their 38 supers.

I am leaning toward an AR 10 platform, or a 9mm/38 super 1911 for my next birthday.

Best wishes.
