I don't have a "dedicated" .38 Super pistol but I have a Colt factory barrel & bushing that I can use as a "drop-in" on my Colt Delta Elite 10mm and/or Norinco NP-29 9mm [1911A-1 copy] to shoot that ctg. Have been a fan of it for years. When I reload for it I just use standard 9mm bullets... seems to provide adequate accuracy for what I need it to do...

 One on my PD  Det friends carried and shot a 38 super his entire career ended going out with a med retirement due to extensive hand and wrist damage from the Colt 38 super he carried.

Well, if it hurts your wrist, I want one. I have shot them but never owned one. I wonder why it would injuer someone long term. I have shot a .357 mag three or four times a week for around 30 years. I don't notice a .38 super being anymore punishing than say, any of my .357's, my .44 Mags, or the XP-100 in .308 Winchester.........................................Kingpin

IF an LEO suffered wrist damage from the Super, why do competative shooters have any hands or wrists left at all? They probably shoot more in two months than he shot his entire career!
