I know the 38 Super round is the BEST

Yep, the 38 Super round is THEE BEST round for a pistol.
It is more accurate and faster than a 45 ACP. It can make the 'major power' factor for various competitions. It played HELL on the tin work of 1920s-30 automobiles, so the crap produced today should be no problem.
And, it has performance/ballistics that a 9 mm Parabellum can only dream of.

I have tested a number of 38 super 1911 type pistols on ransom rest have never found one that would shoot as small 10 shot groups as 45ACP bulls-Eye match built pistols However the 1911 with proper barrel in 9MM fitted to slide & frame will Actually shoot 45acp size groups or even better Many 38 super pistols have been converted to 38Special for target shooting by the likes Of Jim Clark/John Giles and other pistol smiths

i was ignoring the accuracy comment, but i agree
ask doc how far away his target was [:D]
I am a 9mm largo fan...
Also like the .41 action express round.

Best deal I ever got on a gun was a TA 90 Tanfoglio in 41 AE. The darn thing had been sitting NIB for almost 5 years in a gun store, the place had been sold 3 times over. I joked to the new owner about it sitting there for so long and he said "give me $100.00, I'm tired of looking at it". Got it & 250 rounds of ammo that came with it, bought a 9mm barrel off Numrich for about $40.00. I reload but am pretty much too cheap to shoot the AE and lose brass, so I stick with the 9mm barrel.

9mm is "better" than 38Super?! Having shot both calibers in superb guns (NOT in 1911 configuration-that might be your trouble) like a Sig 210-3 for the 9, and a Witness Match in 38Super; your perception has been tainted by the vehicle you chose.
Never used a Ransom Rest, but I'm pretty sure it won't make the ammo faster or more accurate.

I prefer the easier to handle 9MM for SD and if I thought otherwise (and I don't) I would opt for the 357Sig which is a 38Super in a much better (for practical purposes) case configuration
Sounds like its time for a Ken-L Ration commercial[:D]
