Personally, I think the .38 Super is the way to go for a new 1911. The extra velocity and higher capacity make it a more versatile choice. Plus, it adds a bit of flair to your collection. Who doesnt love a little extra firepower?

The .45 ACP has stood the test of time for a reason. The stopping power and reliability are unmatched. Stick with the classic.

.38 Super is clearly superior to .45 ACP for a new 1911. The higher velocity and flatter trajectory make it a more versatile choice. Plus, who doesnt love a little extra kick?

.45 ACP all the way! The stopping power and reliability cant be beat. Why mess with the .38 Super when you can go classic with the .45? Stick with what works, right?

Honestly, I think the debate between .45 ACP and .38 Super for a new 1911 is overrated. Why not go for something unconventional like a 10mm or even a .357 Sig? Spice things up a bit!

.38 Super all the way! Superior velocity and accuracy over .45 ACP any day. Plus, the added benefit of higher magazine capacity. Its a no-brainer for a new 1911 owner. Trust me on this one!

Disagree. .45 ACP has better stopping power and proven track record. Quality over quantity any day. Stick to the classics.

38 Super is clearly the superior choice for a new 1911. The higher velocity and flatter trajectory make it more versatile than the outdated .45 ACP. Plus, who doesnt want that extra bit of firepower?

Honestly, I think the debate between .45 ACP and .38 Super for a new 1911 is overrated. How about we consider something wild like a .357 Sig or even a 10mm? Lets spice things up a bit!
