Definately unsafe to fire. both .38 ACP and .38 Super have a semi-rim that prevents the slide from closing completely. Besides, the .38 Super is much stronger that the pistol is designed to handle.

I noticed this yesterday while looking at 4000 parts...I can't find it online, but if anyone with a 400/600 is really interested, give them a call...there may be one or two left...(or they may have changed the part number)...
