.38 Failure pre WWI and bad rep of it and 9mm. Why?

This is an interesting thread with many excellent posts by knowledgable forum members, with less urban legend and bullchit than we used to see in these type discussions.

The .38 special has come a long way in 100 years! There are several Companies offering very formidable defense loads for the 38 Spl. snub nosed revolvers....Bullet design has also improved drastically.

You are exactly right Chief! I can only grin and shake my head when I see folks write about the more powerful and better .38 Special standard ammo loadings of 20, 30, 40, or 50 years ago. That stuff was junk compared to what is available today for the .38 Special.
