I understand. I got interested in the 38 Super in the mid-1980's. I have several Colt M1911's and a Kimber M1911 chambered in 38 Super including one Colt originally built in the mid 1950's.
With an old "headspace on the rim" barrel in the fifties vintage M1911, I could load and shoot 38 caliber 158 grain SWC bullets. Excellent accuracy. Unfortunately, those reloads would not work in a new, "headspace on the case mouth" barrel.
Currently, the mid fifties M1911 has a 38 Special wadcutter barrel in it but that is another discussion.
The 38 Super has lots of capability. Enjoy your Dan Wesson.
I'm awaiting receipt of a 1948 Colt Super .38 from an estate sale that is coming with both .a 38 Super and .38 Special Colt stamped magazine. Since the pistol is one of the "headspace on the rim" models I was assuming it would handle wadcutters but have been trying to find verification before trying it out. Have you ever fired commercial 148gr. wadcutters from it and if so has was the accuracy?
