Alpo Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Nice video. Your title is wrong though. It is not a 380 ACP. It is a 38 ACP. Different cartridge. Much more powerful cartridge. Nowadays they call it the 38 Super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The .38 ACP and Super .38 are NOT the same cartridge. The Super is loaded to higher pressure and will wreck a gun chambered for the .38 ACP. Please be careful with those older Colts and FNs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Webleys, don't forget the Webleys, probably why that barrel is bulged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 its interesting that there was so little military interest in the 38 at that point , the 455 was the accepted caliber till the late 20s then webley developed the 380 revolvers and the government proceeded to steal the design and produce it at enfield [also albion and HAC] for WWII phasing out the 455 with the enfield mkVI in the 30s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
