When you start pushing a 115 gr past 1350fps and 124 past 1250fps...
you will need a good or custom pistol to keep up with the pressures.

All that pressure pounding on metal parts is going to take it's toll somewhere.

The 38 super, is super...................... if you own one but for most of us,
we will have to settle for a the lowly 9mm for our shooting pleasures.
