From a 5" bbl 1911, is a .38 Super more powerful than a 9mm +P or +P+ from a 4.5-5" bbl Glock or Beretta pistol? Some I've spoken to seem to think .38 Super is the more powerful.
I am interested in the cartridge, and am eyeing a Colt O2991 in .38 Super as both a range target gun but also as a home defense gun with hollow point ammo. What do you guys know about .38 Super? Is it a fun cartridge? I do not reload, but see that Armscor and other companies offer it for a good price. Would you say .38 Super is good enough for self defense with hollow points? Is it an effective caliber for that purpose?
Thanks!
