I just picked up a Colt Government in 'New Old Stock' condition. Besides a couple of magazines I just ordered (only came with one) the gun is excellent. Always wanted a .38 Super and finally got it.
So, why has the .38 Super fallen off the 'radar' so to speak? I get there are more popular calibers, I have several, and my other favorite the 10mm is now making a comeback, but this caliber has very impressive stats and is both very accurate and easy to shoot.
Are the mainstream calibers, 9mm, .40, .45, 10mm, that much better performing than the Super? All the new guns I see are platforms rather than a new cartridge. So again, why is it the forgotten child?
