.38 Super vs 45 ACP

Doctor Larry K · 10-19-2007, 03:46 PM

Generally speaking can I honestly expect similar accuracy from these different rounds. Both pistol are new and both are Kimbers.

Did you buy one or both already? Which one do you really want? Any Kimber will shoot better than Triggerjerk's ability to get the most out of it...I don't know about you. Hell...any old S&W revolver will shoot better than my ability

Since the .38 super shoots a much lighter bullet and is smaller bore it will be easier to handle and have the edge in accuracy in equal weight pistols. sam.

I appreciate your comments. I have had the .45 for a few months (one range trip) and I can pick up the .38 Super Nov 1st.

Because it is on order, or do you have to wait, too? You're LEO, aren't you?
