You need a .38 Super.

[Chainmail]

You are absolutely correct; preferably in a nice pre-war commercial 1911A1 or maybe a Colt Lightweight Commander from 1965 or so..

Just need to run that by my wife..

[Tijeras_Slim]

My current is a LW Commander from 1963, but with a BarSto barrel and night sights.

Moose stag grips from a fellow up in Colorado.

Had a 1953 full size, but it got traded.

Slim, you are a lucky man - The LW Commander in that caliber is hard to find and the Bar-Sto barrels are excellent.

I'll just have to keep looking..

I used to have a Browning Hi-Power in .40 S&W and I fitted a Fire Dragon ported .357 SIG barrels to it. Very accurate and quite manageable but I got goofy and sold it to buy something else.

First lesson in life: if you have something that fits and shoots well, Don't Sell It!

I was thinking the exact thing for a personal defense pistol, using a .40 High Power and having .357 Sig barrels made for it.

I shot a friends Sig 229 with the drop in .357 Sig barrel, and I was impressed.

I have also thought about using a .45 ACP pistol for a .400 Cor-bon weapon, but they are still making the good old 10mm.
