Well I guess Andy is Chuck Norris now.

Again it boils down to availability and I would question how well .38acp would run in .38 Super 1911.
The myth of the tactical reload as an essential skill for the semi-auto concealed carry folks. The point was driven home by the guy standing next to me at the outdoor range yesterday when he starting juggling his magazines as he attempted a tactical reload and had lost his grip on one of the mags. Had he been involved in a life or death situation, he would have found himself in a grave situation.
The tactical reload seems to be a solution looking for a problem. The speed reload, emergency reload, and retention reload are more KISS friendly and don't complicate the task like the tactical reload. KISS - Keep It Simple Shooter.
A 'tactical reload" is what is commonly referred to , when you exchange a magazine that has been partially shot , for new one...OK - I'll bite. I am also too lazy to look it up while I should be working.
What is this "Tactical Reload"?

All of my life I have scoped out the ammo shelves at any store that has them. I don't ever remember seeing a box of 38ACP anywhere but in someone's collection! When I first started really getting involved with reloading I realized what I'd not been seeing. Even in the late 80's it was almost unknown. Heck, the Super has always been scarce, too.
My brother in law surprised me once with a partial box of 38 Super. He'd been shooting them in his 38 Special and didn't like the fireball or the way the extractor wouldn't always clear an empty. That's when I explained the difference between the 38s. Told him that's an interesting way to shoot 357's out of his 38!
45ACP is a GREAT cartridge45ACP is a good cartridge.
Another myth: Universal Background Checks. What's that? To see if I have a criminal record on Mars? I can still feel the 'probing' from my last purchase. Not sure how much 'deeper' their inquiry of my history they can go?

Except it's the government... so it'll probably just take longer for everything.UBC's exist only to provide full traceability of firearms .
Don't bother bringing up the fact that most mass shootings were carried out using guns that had been legally purchased with a UBC for the assailant..
Being a devils advocate here... In the end I think we could potentially be looking at full NFA style registration i.e. tax stamps, full registration etc for pistols, semi autos etc.. While that might be a PITA for what is now title 1 stuff it could have the opposite effect for real NFA stuff. Wait times could drop down to a week or less if the full infrastructure for a robust form 4 system is put in place.
