So tempted to pick up a G48…are these Austrian or USA manufacture? not that it really matters
Well I bought one anyway figured it’s the last we will be able to purchase, hopefully not forever.
Thanks to Prophet River for bringing in some more Glocks when I thought there was no more…

I also bought a G48 in June from Prophet. Made in the U.S.A.
 
Those Taylor's are very nice. Not sure which caliber to choose as I don't have the means to reload. Nice to see such a good selection still

The 38 ammo is cheaper to buy than 45LC, by about 25-30% around here. And there are times the shelves are bare of one or both.
There are (at least) 2 ways to look at it, if you will only take the gun to the range a few times a year, and are a bit traditional, its hard to discount the heritage of the 45. If you are going to shoot a bit higher volume, the 38's lower prices will quickly add up to real money.

This is the advantage of reloading. Cartridge prices can vary greatly between caliber when buying new (for example, blazer brass 9mm is about $0.46 per shot and 10mm is $0.85 per shot). But when handloading the prices are (assuming reusing cases) about $0.08 for a primer (both), 4grns titegroup vs 6 grains titegroup (at about 2/3 a cent per grain, so lets say the 10mm costs 1 cent more) and $0.11 vs $0.14 (campro bullets), so the costs are actual $0.21 for 9mm and about $0.25 for the 10mm. Obviously time to reload, and cost of the loader/dies needs to be factored in, but you don't need the fancy stuff (i have years of use on my bottom line lee press and its going strong) and if you shoot somewhat regularly its worthwhile.

But, as the OP said, if he can't reload, the 38 wins on cost to feed
 
appreciate the kind words guys but we are getting down to the end. We have at least one smallish load of CZ coming that we paid more for than we wanted but pretty much at the end of it now :(
