Which calibre would be best in a 2011 i make myself? Money is not an issue, so if you say 9mm please be talking on the merits of the caliber itself, but i dont handload so dont suggest 10mm because i can handload a bearassholesestroyer round

9mm
why?

>>65068220
if you're not going with 9mm, maybe 30sc? round count. it supposedly exceeds a .380, and you can fit a lot more of them into a magazine.

>Which calibre would be best
There is no "best" unless you know what you want to do with the gun.

>10mm for bears
So sick of this retarded meme for fat fucks scared of black bears. 10mm was designed to be a pistol round effective at 100 yards because Jeff Cooper was a sperg who believed that mattered.

t. 10mm fanboy

5.7x28

>>65068244
what draws you in particular to 10mm?
>>
>>65068237
Please direct me to where i can procure a .30 sc barrel for a 1911, i do suppose i could grab a used nighthawk and frankenstein a .30 sc 2011 but fitting would be weird because you can only remove material

>>65068247
It was my first pistol because like all noobs I didn't understand that irl shootability matters more than anything else and I thought it would be a good all around caliber. Now I collect long slide 10mms because hehe boom boom. I hike near the northern border and carry a g45 or shield plus with flatnose 9mm because shit is too heavy and unwieldy to hike with if you actually want it handy.

Also people dog on manufacturers underloading 10mm but the great variety of possible loads and projectile choice is a strength of the cartridge. Hot 10mm is not something you'd want to use for self defense because it's hard to control for even veteran shooters. I suspect the main reason manufacturers underload common 10mm is because most .40 cal expanding projectiles are designed for 40 SW velocities. Gold dots in particular.

Better start

38 Super Comp

>>65068220
Are you trying to compete with a major caliber handgun or minor caliber handgun? That's why you're getting a 2011, right? For pistol competitions?
>>
>>65068220
.45 acp, just like God intended.
>>
>>65068933
Underrated answer.
