.38 Super - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (521 words) |
 | Browning himself was not done with 35 caliber cartridges and would soon introduce the 9 mm Browning Long in 1903 and the.380 ACP in 1908. |
 | The.38 Super offers higher bullet velocities than the 9 mm Luger, and it is better suited for hot-rodding as it has a longer casing which allows for larger powder charges. |
 | Due to Mexican laws which have restricted the civilian use or possession of ammunition classified as "military caliber," such as 9 mm, this is a popular round in Mexico. |
