The .38 super auto has been around since about 1929. The .38 Super, also known as .38 Superauto or .38 Super Auto, is a pistol cartridge that fires a 0.356-inch-diameter (9.04 mm) bullet. The Super introduced in the late 1920s as a higher pressure loading of the .38 ACP or .38 Auto.
Since 1899, the .38 Special cartridge has been a favorite of law enforcement throughout the United States. This sturdy round is a reliable choice for both self-defense and concealed carry.
The .38 super auto became very popular among the action pistol competitions of the IPSC. Today, the .38 super auto is used primarily for defense purposes, and even though there are limited options, it will probably survive in the shadows.
