all 38 super is plus p. my series 70 colt 1911 puts a lot of ammo down the tube in excess of 1300 fps. 38 super is not watered down .38 spl. do a little research and you will find (per FBI data) that there are 3 rounds that will pass through a car with no prob. one is fn 5.7, one is .357 in 115 or 125 gr., and the last is 38 super. 38 special is not in the top 5. i'll put my 1911 in 38 super up against any .38 special, including federal +p+ hydros... and i would not shoot any ammo from any of my guns that is not stamped on the outside of said gun.

It is referred to as a 38Super+P
Givin the size of the case, I would guess the pressure to be crowding 30K psi, but that is just a guess.
