***It was .38 Super as a rimmed cartridge available in a Colt 1911***

Well, that completely confuses the issue. As far as I know, the 1911 pistol was and is a .45 caliber semi-automatic side arm.

No way man. True the vast majority are, but get yourself one in .38 Super and you may become 'the man with one gun'. 10 rnds, you'd like it.

It’s big in Latin America due to “military” cartridges like .45 acp not being available for civilian use. It see it as a pretty snazzy cartridge, I’d like to have a 1911 in it. Pretty popular in competition too.
