I am rather curmudgeonly. I own a. 308/7.62 NATO rifle but I have no enthusiasm for the cartridge. I remain a fierce partisan of the 30-06 and it's progeny cartridges and own a lot of rifles that shoot rimmed cartridges. I own a 6.5mm rifle: the ancient Swede, not the modern cool kid version. I despise the 9mm Luger cartridge and all pistols that chamber it (except the BHP, blessings upon JMB), and would not accept a pistol so chambered if offered to me. Indeed, it is only with some serious misgivings that I purchased a striker fired semi-auto pistol in recent years. Happily, it is in the obsolete, very untactical, soooo uncool .40 S&W, so I feel ok about it. Sort of.
So, I need help. I have always fancied a 1911 in .38 Super. The 1911 is sufficiently uncool with the europhiles and tectikewl crowd that I feel confident there. But I'm hoping some millennials and 9mm aficionados will tell me how hopelessly out of date, backwards, useless, and otherwise uncool the .38 Super cartridge is so that I am at no risk of being trendy, up to date, or 'with it'. God forbid.
So, Glockmeisters, have at it please.
