Happiness is a new gun!

Lol! I’ve been called worse. No worries!

Me too!
Congrats on the Gold Cup Trophy!
Back in the day, .38 Super was popular with folks south of the border, but I've drifted from that crowd and have no idea about it now.
I've heard, that on this side of the border, it was developed to shoot through prohibition era body armor.

A sleeper caliber. I suspect ammo is available but save your brass.
That project should be fun.

Often wondered if it was factory available, never looked for it before on the shelves, course I don't look at the shelves much. Now being retired I'll probably have to dust off the reloader and maybe look at the shelves again.

Should be ordering lots of bullets and powder and such, I have considerable but never enough. Even not shooting much.

Thinking of getting one?
Any thoughts on a..... Beretta 92fs Compact?

My second to last Chief had one I got to play with for a bit. I really liked it. Wanted one myself ever since. Course with me that happens pretty often. I did like the feel and size of it. I have a 92FS and would love a little pal to go with it. Heck that should almost be a requirement shouldn't it?

I see 38 super on the shelves and among 1911 addicts it is a vibrant and desirable caliber. We see them come into our range and they are easy to spot because the owners is always chasing their brass.
My LGS just sold a Wilson in 9mm that came with an included fitted barrel in 38 super. I don't remember the exact model but it was pristine and it sold for $2400.

Nice firearm but I'm a bit biased. I'm looking for one without the junk below the barrel. Wouldn't even mind finding a Compact Carry model.

[Bawanna]

The one I played with didn't have any junk below the barrel. Didn't know they came that way. I'd not want that either on that size gun.
I have the junk on my EAA Witness that I recently acquired. I didn't want it either but alas it didn't come without. I've found in it's case it isn't bothersome and we get along just fine. I haven't shot it yet things being what they are but been carrying it around the place and it works quite well. Noticeably lighter and just rides nice.

Crap, now I gotta look for a 38 Super. Does this stuff ever end? So many toys, so little time. And loot, so little loot.

The one I looked at had no junk....rails are for trains.

That there is almost as good lookin’ as Sophia Loren was in her prime.

As to rails, am not a fan of them on handguns either, but the ones on the Ruger SR series are pretty unobtrusive and not that tackytal looking.

With her unshaven underarms (Sorry I had to say it). I saw one of her old, old black and white Italian movies a couple of months ago and she was a knockout but that one thing stood out. But that was the thing then so not a big deal, just how it was.
