I’ve got a bunch of Colt pistols, all .45 with the exception of my two .38 Supers. One is a Colt Classic, the other is a stainless Competition. I really, really like the .38 Super, one of them goes with me almost every time I go to the range. Last year I fired about 1,200 rounds of Super, mostly reloads. My reloads are 124gr FMJ with Unique. The Super is accurate and fun to shoot. I even qualify with my .38 Super for work, patiently explaining “Yes, it is a Colt, but it’s a .38 not a .45”. My hollow point ammo is CorBon. I will never part with my Supers.

A few years back my local cop shop got a case of .38 Super ball ammo by mistake. It caused them a lot of grief with people confusing it for .38 Special and then returning it. They finally sold it to me for $10 a box to get rid of it, after I repeatedly assured them that I knew it was not .38 Special.
