.38 super for self defense.
Would like to hear opinions on the .38 Super as a self defense round.

Re: .38 super for self defense.
The Super will work well for defense. It's hotter than a 9mm.

Re: .38 super for self defense.
Any thoughts on overpenetration?
I've always wanted a .38 Super just for fun...I dont know about personal defense, but personal satisfaction would be excuse enough.  Crpdeth

Re: .38 super for self defense.
Maybe the question should had been, why the Super has not gained much popularity? I know it is more than apt as a self defense round .

Re: .38 super for self defense.
I've always loved the 9X23. It's hot and yet easy to handle on a 1911 frame and if memory serves, it is more better than the 38sup.

It is a better round than +P or +P+ 9mm!
