Thanks for your opinion, I do have a 9 on a 1911 frame a Para PDA. Also don't know how I forgot I've a 1911receiver with a Ciener Platinum .22 upper. Just have the feeling the 38 Super will fit in nicely. I do appreciate the info and you have a nice looking 1911.

Popple,
In IPSC they call it the 38 Stupid, because folks would always try to push it too close to the 357 Mag and blow up the gun, because the standard 1911 barrel has an unsupported chamber just like the 45 ACP. I have seen several dumb looks on folks faces with the mag on the ground, bottom blown out, bullets everywhere and their hand full of grip pieces. The old Bang-clang routine.

They are a snap to reload and a barrel like a Bar-Sto, with a supported chamber makes them safe and very accurate. They shoot cast like a house a fire and once you get the 38 Super in a fully supported chamber it is a real trip. You can push 160s hard which gives you a whole handful of whup ar8e. As long as you are not pushing them to hard it will eat 357 bullets like candy. Use a profile crimp or a taper crimp die to reload them.
