Lugers in .38 Super

Hub · 12-06-2003, 10:27 AM

When Colt origially built the 38 super it head spaced on the rim and was not accurate. Only when the IPSC crowd started using it and changing to head spacing to the case mouth did it become a usable accurate round. If you wanted to strech the receiver and the mags you could convert it to the new rimless cases refered to as the 9 super comp or 9 X 23. No need to open up the breech face when using these cases and they are availble at Star Line and Hornady. anddid
