Some of my .38s and .357s won't chamber a .38 Super cartridge. That is OK with me, as I prefer to shoot .38s and .357s out of wheelguns, and .38 Supers out of bottom feeders. Just funny that way.

I have to wonder if there might not be a .38/.357 chamber out there that is loose enough to chamber a .38 Super, but tight enough to create a high pressure situation when fired.

I also wonder about accuracy, since the cartridge is going to have sloppy headspace on that dinky semi-rim. Plus an extremely long jump to the barrel.

I can't see any call for it other than a true emergency situation.

Fortunately no one has mentioned shooting 9x19 in a 9x23mm chamber.
