I think the 38 Super is a great round.

There are a number of articles that recommend head spacing the 38S on the mouth and that greatly increases accuracy.

However, for me, a 1911 in 38S is an iconic pistol & cartridge. The FBI selected the 38S in the early 1930s.




+1 to all of this.

I neglected to mention, I still have a .38 Super (Kimber, 1911 Target II).

iirc, I'm getting just over 1300 fps, with Hornady, 124grn HAP jacketed bullets.
This is about 100fps under maximum, and it originally shot 10 shots into 2 1/2" (65mm), at 50 meters (from a Ransom rest), from this stock standard Kimber, 1911.
That in anybody's money, is pretty impressive!

D'oh!
