[QUOTE="Dr. Barry Greyson, post: 1169580, member: 555"] Congratulations on your find....the 38 super plus P in factory loadings runs about 36,500 psi (or is it cup Units?), a pretty mundane loading considering what the "IPSC" guys reload. The pistol can stand +P without any problems, especially with the proper springing. However, I am not sure if Colt lightened the slide on the Super like they did on the .45acp Commander version with the aluminum frame. If they did you need to check the inside of the slide where the breech face is milled for the ejector slot to see if there is a hairline crack in the slide. If not you are okay...if there is a crack it would be difficult to drill and weld and re-mill so a new slide would be in order. Just something you should check now before investing a bunch in the gun and then finding out:(. Barry [/QUOTE]
