My old electronic people scale just said 3.5 pounds. It rounds to the nearest 1/2 pound.What's the weight of the SA with that scope on it?
Around 40 ounces for an all steel 1911 with a comp, plus the aluminum mount, and the old big dot Aimpoint.

what about the extractor ?I'm Just glad the round is still around. I feed my Star Super A with it. Can't tell the difference between supers and Largo's when I mix them in the magazine. I stay away from I.P.S.C. loads.
I'm not quite sure I would say the 1902 or the 1905 ( which was chambered for the 45ACP ) evolved into the 1911. The 1905 and the 1911 have nothing in common except they are both recoil operated and share the same cartridge. Slightly different bullet weights and velocities, but the same dimensions. The 1902 did, I believe, evolve into the 1905 but the 1911 was originally intended for and designed around the .45 ACP. It was not chambered for the Super until 1929.That pistol evolved into the 1911, primarily shooting the .45 ACP, but the magazine / ramp / barrel geometry was designed for the .38.
Other than the same dimensions, the Colt .38 ACP was never chambered in the 1911. It will shoot in .38 Super guns
When Colt introduced the Super 38 (1911) pistol in 1929, it was chambered for the 38 Automatic. For years, Colt's ads all showed the 38 Automatic as the proper ammo for the gun. This is well documented in Douglas Sheldon's book, Colt's Super .38, The Production History From 1929 Through 1971.
The 38 Super Automatic cartridge, as distinct from the 38 Automatic, showed up around 1932-1933 with a faster load from Remington, a 130 grain bullet around 1300 fps.
