And there is a bigger difference in ballistics between .38 and .357 than most are trying to imply.

Oh! Horse-feathers! First, the ballistics of modern .380 ammo is better than the 38 special. Second .380 is a 9 mm round and very lethal at that 9x17. 90 grains of lead traveling at 1,000 FPS is very lethal. Would you stand in the path of one????
Third, the chance of a average citizen getting in a gun fight and lugging around a 1911 all day for that occasion is absurd. The .22 caliber has filled more graves that any other caliber, do some research please.
I have been shot with a 1911 and the round was stopped by my duty belt and my pants belt. I wasn't knocked down or even moved. It felt like getting hit with a pitched baseball in college.
These are facts not speculations!
