Anyone have a 38 super? A very interesting cartridge, IMO, and often overlooked. I'd like to have one of the 1911 variants chambered in it.

Interesting history behind the 38 super by the way, for those interested in googling


super is one size up from DD?

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

38 Super is not bad, I like the 10mm better though, another one often overlooked.

I've read Nugent swearing up and down that his 10mm Glock is his all time favorite...I've never tried one.

The Pre WWII Colt 1911 I mentioned in my 1st post.... it's a .38 Super, not a .45   Can you say extremely rare? :cool;

After one time with this it would not matter.

Alright, now what about the other bad guys?

The 10 was THE next big thing at one point, then it sorta died out. I think jeff Cooper was a big proponent (you know who that is if you're a gun nut)

I wanted a Glock so bad but, when I tried shooting it, I did not like the way it felt. I thought it was to heavy, and uncomfortable for me to shoot for some odd reason. :smt017

to me, the most important part of shooting is how the gun feels in your hand.  Some guns feel just right and they are easy to shoot consistently while others just don't fit and they are hard to shoot accurately.

It was the wimpy ass FBI agents that couldn't shoot it that killed the 10mm.
The FBI went to 10mm, then found out that the wimps in the office couldn't shoot it. They dumped them and went with the .40....and the 10 died. But it seems to be making a little bit of a come back lately.
