Yes. But the 1911 does have a flawless pedigree.

It was developed specifically to kill muslims.

The .38 Special the officers carried in the Philippines just wasn't up to the job.

The .38 SAA was .38 Colt, I don’t think the Special came around till the mid 20’s. Two thumbs up for the 1911 and its near perfect 100+ years of service.

Actually was the .38 Long Colt - an even baliisticly inferior
round

38 special was the “magnum” round of its day invented in 1909

It wasn’t a 38 special, it was a 38 long colt. By contrast, a 38 special is practically a magnum.
