Default .38 Super in .38 Special

In his book "Pistolsmithing", (Stackpole Books, 1974, sixth printing January 1980) retired Army Ordnance Officer Major George C. Nonte, Jr. mentions on page 393 a S&W M&P converted to .38 Super. Had this conversion been unsafe in any way, he would have advised avoiding this conversion, which he clearly did not. In fact, he has a heading entitled "Conversions Not To Attempt." I quote from the jacket: "George C. Nonte, Jr. , a retired Army Ordnance officer, was one of the most skilled and knowledgeable masters of firearms. A prolific author, he wrote articles and books about almost every aspect of shooting sports. He also operated a professional firearms testing, evaluation, and consultation service." I personally have never tried this, as I have had no reason to up to this point. -Ed.
