The .38 ACP fired a 130-grain bullet at 1,100 fps.\u00a0The .38 ACP Super was a sensation noted for its high velocity of 1,300 fps and nine fast shots. Colt upped the power of the cartridge but used the same length cartridge case and chambered the .38 Super in the 1911 when it dropped production of the .38 ACP pistols.

The effectiveness of the caliber cannot be argued. The penetration of the cartridge and reliability of the 1911 gave law officers a great advantage.<\/p>\n<p>However, the .38 Super suffered in popularity after the introduction of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/ammunition\/handgun-ammo\/.357-magnum\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=38-super\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">.357 Magnum<\/a>.

The question is this. Is the .38 ACP Super a viable personal defense and tactical combination today? The answer would be yes. By any standard, the caliber and the 1911 handgun are excellent defensive or tactical choices. The .38 Super is more powerful than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/ammunition\/handgun-ammo\/9mm-luger-or-9x19mm\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=38-super\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">9mm Luger<\/a> and only a little, if any, more difficult to handle.

It features straight-to-the-rear trigger compression, a low bore axis, a grip that fits most hands well, and excellent speed into action. There is no pistol faster to an accurate first shot than a 1911 handgun properly carried cocked and locked.\u00a0This is an easier cartridge to master than the .45 and has two more rounds of magazine capacity. The platform allows good control for those who practice. Long-range practical shooting is possible with the 1911\/.38 Super format. <\/p>\n<p>An advantage of this caliber is penetration. The smaller-diameter .38 Super in its hottest loads offer greater penetration against light cover than the .45 ACP or 9mm cartridges.\u00a0Additionally, it\u2019s a remarkably easy cartridge to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/reloading\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=38-super\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">handload<\/a> with good results.<\/p>\n<h2>Choices in .38 Super<\/h2>\n<p>At present, my favorite .38 Super is a Para Ordnance 1911.

In the 1911, there is no penalty for using the .38 Super over the 9mm. The 9mm and .38 Super will be the same size frame, while the latter hits harder. The .38 Super varies in accuracy.\u00a0Some are accurate, but most require a Bar-Sto barrel for best results. My Para-Ordnance is middle of the road. A 2.5 to 3-inch group for five shots at 25 yards is the standard. While I like the Para very much, if you are interested in a .38 ACP Super, the readily available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/rock-island-armory\/firearms\/handguns\/?srule=price-low-to-high&amp;brand=RockIslandArmory&amp;utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=38-super\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rock Island<\/a> 1911 is a better choice than hunting down an out-of-production handgun.\u00a0The Rock Island is a fun gun to fire and use.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>While the .38 Super isn\u2019t a mainstream cartridge (rather, it\u2019s an enthusiast\u2019s choice), it is an interesting caliber with much to recommend.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>There\u2019s no doubt that the .38 Super is still alive and kicking.
