DrB Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 This damn addiction needs to go away. I need to go to Gun Rehab if there is something like that At my age I need a new pistol/rifle like a hole in my head. Somehow I have always wanted a .38 super 1911 and for some reason that has entered my mind again. Hopefully I can put that devil back in place.

Rellik Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 You need one to shoot through car bodies, like back in the old Frank Hamer days! The 45 just wasn't cutting it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valmet Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I have a Custom 38 Super built by Frank Glenn out in Phoenix. It's the nicest, most buttery 1911 I've ever handled. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrB Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Cut it out guys... You folks are pure evil.....not helping with my addiction...... Just joking... Ok... just asking for a friend, who would make those today. If Colt does, I'm sunk so don't tell me that. I am a Colt fan boy, others I think I can resist.... Dave....

DrB Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Oh and yes, I do not want stainless, only blue. Also Combat Commander, Colt only... I guess that that eliminates most. Dave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrB Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 You indeed are the devil. I looked but all out of stock, from what i can find so i am safe for now. I'm going off to surgery and as long as I'm going to be home on dishab for awhile thought a new pistol would be nice before I go in.

jmax Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) I had a barrel for my multi caliber 1911 but in a fit of madness I sold the barrel. But I converted a takeoff cylinder from a Smith 627 and chambered it for 9mm and 38 Super for mu Covid shutin project so I am back to having one again. By the way I love choosing revolvers so it is not a problem. Edited August 30, 2020 by jmax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrB Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 When I am off I will work on getting some ammo, reloading dies and such, at least I can do that. When I find one available at not an inflated price, one will come home here. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellik Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 357 Sig - what the Super should have grown into. I knew the Gold Cup was made in 45 & 38 Spec, but I did not know Colt made some in Super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of the largest Colt dealers in Texas. They always have a few .38 Super Colts floating around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dealer has a few guns in his hands, but you sir are the pusher, a most evil man who can lead you right to the source... Just joking.. Thanks again...
