Dang, this thread started making me think that one day I'll need a pistol in 38 super. Then.... I had to read the post by GeneticallySwiss and go do some reading on the 9x23 Winchester. A modern, stronger, more powerful version of the 38 Super (more or less). Sounds like a lawsuit killed the time to market and then it never got a foot hold. That is too bad because it sounds like it would be fantastic!
Anyone know if the 38 Super Tanfoglio barrels could handle the full pressure rounds of the 9x23 Winchester? I couldn't find any shops listed as making pistols in 9x23 Winchester or even making conversions for them.... Anyone know if those exist? Sounds like a neat round! What a great thread this is, I love posting in this forum and getting to learn all these interesting facts.
An excellent clarification M1A4ME, and always a needed reminder. Sure, running things harder can work, but it just puts the wear and tear on faster. Better to go with the product designed to take the extra abuse. Even computers have that same issue, people pushing processors past the levels they are meant to be run at over long term and burning up their hardware way faster. Cars, guns, computers, so on and so on.
