I have a Springfield .38 Super and I've shot 9X23 in it without any problems. Accuracy is also good. That said, there are an equal number of people who say not to shoot 9X23 in a .38 Super barrel.

If you're interested, take a look at the 9X23 Section of http://www.pistolsmith.com There is some good information on this cartridge. Note: 9X23 if offered in very limited variety in factory ammo, so it too is more of a handloader's cartridge.

Thanks for the information. This pistol has separate barrels and bushings. I am just having trouble deciding which one to use. Longtooth let me know what you think of the grips and if you like them.

I will post a picture of this Commander latter. I am on my way to shoot it. I will let you know. It sure is a depressing thing to have to go from the God given .45 to the heathenistic 9mm.

Get some 9mm 124gr +P Speer Gold Dot and call it a day.

Excellent ariticle! Thanks. I am still learning about this 38 super.

I have just traded for a Colt Commander. It has the 9mm/38 super. For health reason there are days that I do not enjoy the .45. Can anyone give me some pros and cons with the 9mm verses the 38 super for self defense?
