Hello,
I have recently purchased a Rock Island 1911 chambered in 38 super. After doing some homework I have narrowed my choice of Self-Defense ammo down to Buffalo Bore and Double Tap. My only concern is the non-ramped (aka unsupported) chamber in the RIA and whether it will be okay to fire the ammo mentioned earlier. Internet rumor has it that using full-powered 38 super rounds in a non-ramped barrel is courting disaster. Thoughts and advice please?
