I've long read and heard that the .38 Super was hamstrung by improper and inconsistently prepared chambers and throats in the Colt barrels which contributed to uneven accuracy performance. I never obtained one to play with and see for myself. I know two other shooters who both have older Colt .38 Supers and the small amount of range time I had behind these pistols was most satisfactory. For flinging .355 bullets the .38 Super is as good as any other reasonable high-performance round of that bore diameter and I've always pulled for it as an underdog round. I hope to get one one of these here days.
