Speaking of .38 Super.....

Do you think Ruger will put one out in the 1911 series? That new 9mm lightweight would be a sweet platform.

That would certainly be a great idea for them. The titanium ramp insert solves the only problem I have ever had with an alloy-frame Commander.

I'm still trying to catch up with what they already offer!

Seriously though, that'd be a cool package.

I'm still debating the merits of the Ruger LW Commander 9mm. I really want one in a bad way but not sure I need it.

Need?

If I stuck to "needs" I'd be carrying my no-finish, police trade-in S&W Model 15 .38 Combat Masterpiece that I paid $125 for about a quarter century ago, and I would have lots more money in the bank.

Unfortunately the "wants" are sometimes undeniable!

Oh, trust me,I know all too well! I'm sure I'll scratch the itch in good time. Just trying to be smarter with the gun fund lately and save more and spend less.

.......means swapping the barrel and magazine.

Easy-peasy,

I went from 38s to 9mm and had to change

by Brien1, Wednesday, September 21, 2016, 18:26 (2923 days ago) @ Otony

the weight of the spring. I would guess that the 9mm spring would be a little light and allow unnecessary force on the frame. I have not tested this. I did find a light 38s load that I was happy with in both my 1911 and S&W revolver. I was able to use the original 9mm spring with that load.

Good info

by Otony, Wednesday, September 21, 2016, 21:27 (2923 days ago) @ Brien1

I didn't find it necessary to do so on a Springfield 1911 .38 Super, and the recommended spring rates for both calibers are often the same.

HOWEVER!

Guns are individuals unto themselves and what works with some doesn't work for others. In the end we just have to try and see. Sometimes you're lucky!
