    You got catching up to do. A couple, in .45 is in order.

    The first should have been 45acp.

    Most definitely a 45.

    .40, but I'm funny that way.

    1911 in 45cal. The way God and John Browning intended it.

    .45 ACP.

    One must have one in the original caliber.

    .45 GAP?!?! Careful, @Tflogger ! There are purists from the Church of JMB among us that would burn you at the stake for such heresy!

    That’s the best way to put it.

    "1911 I have a 38sup, and 10mm should the next 1911 be a 45 or 9mm??"

    After thinking this over, you need a great .22 LR set up also. I have a Springfield frame, trigger job, Ambi safety topped with a Marvel Conversion kit… Real tack driver. So from what I have read above, you need at three more than you think…😉

    Another vote for .22LR then the .22TCM or 5.7. Maybe you can get away with a barrel and slide?

    Both, 9mm and 45ACP on a Colt 1911 frame type. Now there you have the best of all worlds

    Having owned a number of 45acp 1911's and hearing all the rave reviews on Turkish Tisa 9mm 1911's, I picked up a Commander sized Tisas Carry 9mm 1911.

    Mine is jam-o-matic.

    Drobs,first thing I would try is a quality magazine such as a Mec-gar.

    The second thing I would do is trade it.

    I'd also vote for a .22lr for the next one. From there, if you reload, maybe a custom .460 Rowland conversion. That's about the only other cartridge that fits in the standard 1911 that can run with the 10mm auto.

    If you do get a .45 barrel for your existing 1911, get an extended threaded one so you are ready to suppress it. It is the perfect cartridge for that whereas the 10mm auto, by the time you slow it down to much as to make it subsonic, you've lost all of its advantages.
