Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.
If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts Bin" forums, not in these forums. Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued. |

Proud new owner of a 1952 .38 Super
Just got this beauty yesterday. It's in much better condition than the pics I saw indicated. I would say no more 400 rounds have been down the pipe.
It's a 1952 Colt .38 Super. 100% original and about as pristine as you could hope for. Traded my 1991 NRM plus 100 clams for it. Nice addtion to the collection don't you think?  First pic is with a flash, second is without. Couldn't decide which I liked better so here's both.  |

Yepper.....that's the one. Model? Isn't it a 1911? It dosen't say 1911 on it though. The rollmark on the side says, COLT Super .38 Automatic. |

That is awesome!
I think I am on the hunt for an old classic Colt now and a .38 Super would be great. $600-$700 price tag sounds like a killer deal to me on that gun. Who did you buy it from? Does he have others? Thanks, Cameron |

Thanks Cameron, I got it from a gentleman in the Atlanta area. I'll ask him if he has any more "classics" on hand and let you know. |

If you re-read my first post, you'll unerstand what I mean by model.
After Colt originally introduced the .38 Super, they made 3 changes to it, thus you have 4 models. Yours should most likely be #4, but would like to know......... |

Ahhh......gotcha' that time. It must be a 3rd model because when I was cleaning it last night, I didn't notice any difference in the diameter of the bushing. When cleaning the bushing, I put a cleaning patch with CLP on it on the tip of my finger and then slide the bushing on my finger like a ring and rotate it. I fit just like any other bushing. I'm sure I would have noticed a smaller size. |
