Anyone shoot this caliber anymore?
I used to own a Springfield Armory 1911 and Colt Commander in .38 Super, but sold them both years ago. I'm left with a large quantity of .38 Super ammunition.
Does anyone even make a gun in the caliber anymore? It never was a really popular round, but I liked it and would like to get a good quality gun in the caliber.
By the way, I've noticed that the .38 Super round, being semi-rimmed, will chamber nicely in my .357 magnum Ruger GP100. I've never tried to fire it, and I know the .355 inch diameter bullet would probably produce lousy accuracy in a gun intended to fire .357 inch diameter bullets. Nevertheless, is it possible to safely fire the .38 Super round in a .357 magnum? Anyone ever done it?
Thanks.
