.38 Special vs .38 Super​

The .38 Super is a derivative of the 38 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP). It often has “+P” added to the end of its name, although it is not in fact an overpressure cartridge. Ammo manufacturers just want to further distinguish .38 Super from .38 ACP, as the newer, more powerful round shares identical dimensions with its predecessor. You do not want to load .38 Super in a .38 ACP handgun, however, as it will destroy it and potentially injure you!

The .38 Super was specifically created for the M1911. Because it was introduced to the market three decades after the .38 Special, its developers were able to incorporate more modern propellant into its design (thus packing more “boom” into a less voluminous case).

The .38 Super didn’t become very popular, as the arrival of the .357 Magnum in 1935 led police departments to adopt revolvers chambered for the powerful derivative of the .38 Special – handguns which they often (and justifiably) placed more faith in than semi-automatics. More recently the .38 Super has experienced something of a renaissance, as competitive shooters increasingly favor the accurate 1911 cartridge.

But enough mucking around in history. Once you have appreciated that .38 Special will not work in .38 Super handguns – and vice versa – you may naturally wonder just how differently the two rounds compare in terms of ballistics, stopping power, recoil and availability. Keep reading, our super special friend!

A Democrat for the Trump Era​

Jasmine Crockett is testing out the coarse style of politics that the GOP has embraced.
By Elaine Godfrey

All the comforts of a Waldorf Astoria city-view suite did not, at that moment, seem to cheer Jasmine Crockett. The 44-year-old Texas Democrat known for her viral comebacks was frowning as she walked into her hotel room in Atlanta last month. She glanced around before pulling an aide into the bathroom, where I could hear them whispering. Minutes later, she reemerged, ready to unload.

She was losing her race to serve as the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, she told me, a job she felt well suited for. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus were planning to vote for the senior-most person in the race, even though that person wasn’t actually a Black Caucus member, Crockett complained. California members were siding with the California candidate. One member was supporting someone else in the race, she said, even though “that person did the worst” in their pitch to the caucus. Crockett was starting to feel a little used. Some of her colleagues were “reaching out and asking for donations,” she said, but those same colleagues “won’t even send me a text back” about the Oversight job.

To Crockett, the race had become a small-scale version of the Democratic Party’s bigger predicament. Her colleagues still haven’t learned what, to her, is obvious: Democrats need sharper, fiercer communicators. “It’s like, there’s one clear person in the race that has the largest social-media following,” Crockett told me.

In poll after poll since Donald Trump’s reelection, Democratic voters have said they want a fighter, and Crockett, a former attorney who represents the Dallas area, has spent two and a half years in Congress trying to be one. Through her hearing-room quips and social-media insults, she’s become known, at least in MSNBC-watching households, as a leading general in the battle against Trump. The president is aware of this. He has repeatedly called Crockett a “low-IQ” individual; she has dubbed him a “buffoon” and “Putin’s hoe.” Perhaps the best-known Crockett clapback came last year during a hearing, after Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia made fun of Crockett’s fake eyelashes. Crockett, seeming to relish the moment, leaned into the mic and blasted Greene’s “bleach-blond, bad-built, butch body.” Crockett trademarked the phrase—which she now refers to as “B6”—and started selling T-shirts.

This shit is typical of government (il)logic no matter who is running the show.

The Trump Administration Defends the Federal Ban on Interstate Handgun Sales​

As president, Trump now controls the nation's vast military might, including its nuclear arsenal. But because the dubious New York case against him resulted in felony convictions, he is not allowed to possess firearms, let alone buy new ones. And even if his convictions are overturned on appeal, he still won't be allowed to buy a handgun in South Carolina or any other state he might visit. His administration, which is avowedly committed to protecting Second Amendment rights, nevertheless is defending that restriction against the FPC's challenge, saying it "serves legitimate objectives" and "only modestly burdens the right to keep and bear arms."

That argument sounds suspiciously like the sort of "interest balancing" that the Supreme Court emphatically rejected in Bruen. When a gun restriction affects conduct covered by "the Second Amendment's plain text," the Court said in that case, the government has the burden of demonstrating that it is "consistent with this Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation." That test typically requires identifying historical analogs that are "relevantly similar" in motivation and scope to a challenged law.

The government's lawyers concede that the ban on interstate handgun sales "unquestionably burdens the fundamental right to keep and bear arms." But they argue that it "aligns with the nation's regulatory tradition," citing several historical precedents that the FPC describes as irrelevant or inadequate.

The government presents the ban at issue in this case, which stems from legislation that Congress approved in 1968, as a sensible safeguard aimed at preventing the sale of handguns to potentially dangerous individuals who are not legally allowed to possess them. On the face of it, that rationale does not make much sense.

That annoying MIA package which has been "on the way" for five weeks landed with yesterday afternoon's deliveries at FFL Dude's place. About fucking time, especially when compared to teh 38 s000pah and the notice that says it is landing today after five days, three of which were made of weekend. These folks are several states closer, but still.


Of course, none of them will ever defeat Fred when he sent me that M14 stock from one day to the next. Santa couldn't do any better.

Only two posts above . . . .


Did you hear that the Senate Appropriations Committee just voted 19-10 on legislation that would give the Corrupt ATF $1.625 BILLION in funding?


“We’re grateful to leaders on the Senate Committee on Appropriations for prioritizing funding ATF and these critical gun safety measures, and we urge Congress to maintain these funding levels in any final bill.”


I reckon so.
