I personally went with 38SC in my new DVC Open and could not be happier I went this route simply because I got a killer deal on a 38 and the way I look at it the 1911 2011 runs were designed around the 45/38 round so I. Theory they should be more reliable and as far as cost goes anyone that shoots competition on a regular basis spends so much money in shooting no matter what they shoot don’t see how price is even I. The equation I run nothing but Atlantis Arms picked up my Range brass but I don’t pick up brass at matches
