I have not seen you at the meetings Doc.....
Meetings??? Those are for quitters, and I'm not close to quitting! Might have to get a bigger safe... Or just another one!

I'm clicking 1991 threads. I think I'm getting the itch to get my first.
Weird that you mentioned 38 super. Was looking to purchase one but seems like it a dead caliber only 9 mm, 10mm and 45 in 1911s Havent found anything.1911s will grow in numbers once one makes it into your safe. My 5" .45 created a "need" for a Carry-comp .45. Then I "needed" to add a 9mm Commander since I already had other 9mms and piles of ammo. Now those 3 have expressed interest in a high capacity 2011 in 10mm to keep them company. (AllenM is currently helping fill this void.) And that 10mm has asked for the 2011 frame in the safe to be a 38 Super. You need to have a lot of self control or it can get expensive fast..... ask me how I know!
Went to the range with my dad today. I decided to rent a 1911 just for the heck of it. Neither my dad nor I had shot one before, nor had either of us shot a .45 before. Wow! It was such a great shooter. Felt great in the hand. The recoil was surprisingly not as bad as I thought it would be. Just fantastic! And, sadly, now I want one. I blame INGO for this. Had I never found this site, I would never have thought about what I was missing.
I've got 2 currently that required no "tuning" to run fine. I had a colt that ran a couple thousand rounds without fail. Just sold another that was also flawless. So..... what am I missing? Or is it another 1911 hater that has never owned one repeating internet myths?

Someone off their meds??
Congratulations. Firing a 1911 .45 ACP is a rite of passage, even if it's only a range rental for an afternoon. Must be .45 ACP and full size if at all possible. I carried one for about seven years or so, courtesy of Uncle Sam. It's my favorite pistol platform. The other rite of passage in North America is the .357 magnum revolver; not a snubby, but with 4" or longer barrel, six chambers and single/double action.
