DANGEROUS GAME vs. DANGEROUS HUMANS

The older I get the more pragmatic I am. I recently wanted a 38 super 1911. I already have a Sistema 1911 in 45 and a Springfield Mod 2 3.3 in 45 acp. I like the 185gr FMJ in the 45's Seems the recoil is more manageable for me especially in the little Mod 2 3.3

Back to the 38 Super auto. I bought some Winchester M1152 9mm Active-Duty ammunition that states on the box its muzzle velocity is 1320 FPS with a 115 gr Flat nose bullet. In my Glock 17 it clocks right at 1300 fps. That is probably 38 super speeds. I believe the Winchester Active duty 9mm ammo is +P+. It doesn't say it on the box but it does say it is loaded to Military velocity and pressure 10-15 % higher than industry standard. So I already have my 38 Super in the form of a Glock 17 with this ammo. But the Glock doesn't have the Panache LOL. I've always felt more comfortable with a deeper penetrating round either handgun or rifle.
