- Everything I've ever read seems to indicate that all the accuracy bad-
- raps the .38 Super ever got were due to the original barrels headspacing
- on the rim. I don't believe the stock Colts are built this way anymore.
- A new NM barrel which headspaces on the mouth will definately improve
- your accuracy assuming nothing else is inherently wrong with the gun in
- the accuracy department. My Wilson .38 Super will shoot 1 1/2" groups
- at 50 yards all day long with 150gr CP Elite bullets.
