@TheCarablanco

The .38 Super was developed by Colt in the late 1920's because the .45 ACP didn't have enough velocity to punch through a car door and still kill the bad guys inside. The .38 Super had enough punch to not only pierce through car doors but it was also hot enough to defeat the body armor of the time.

That is pretty much the short story of the research I've done on the .38 Super.

Also, .38 Super is popular in Mexico because military caliber weapons & ammunition are illegal there

@MrASQ1 yes its true also 38 speacial and i think 25 acp too

@MrASQ1

No a .380 is illegal in Mexico a regular citizen can only own .32 and down ..... 25, 22 a fucking bb gun.... things like those.... trust me I had to go and get my permission from the Army to own my gun here in Mexico and I can only own a .32 hand gun, as for rifles, they must be hunting if not then your screwed.....

[TheCarablanco]

We are in agreement. Market forces; be they car doors or the advent of the 9mm Parabellum higher velocity round, are what drove the development of the .39 Super. And if anyone from Colt Industries is reading this, it's not too late to develop a higher capacity platform based on the 1911 pattern. That would be a fitting "next-level" application for this excellent round.

1 ROUND IN MEXICO WILL COST YOU 1.30 DOLARS SO IMAGINE

la 38 super de MEXICO

[TheCarablanco]

The .38 Super Automatic round was developed by Colt Arms as an answer to the 9mm Parabellum. This was to address multinational markets, as well as the growing popularity of the 9mm in N. America. However, Colt never did engineer a higher capacity magazine, a` la FN Browning, for their popular 1911 platform. Consequently, despite its superior ballistics and competition shooting performance, it fell by the way. It is a superior round, and a joy to shoot, but a little esoteric.
