"Another fan of the Super here. My solution to it being a somewhat weird caliber is the Sig P220 will shoot 9mm just by swapping out the barrel."

Do you use the same recoil spring for the .38 Super as you do with 9mm?

I can conceivably do the same thing with a Colt Delta Elite (10mm) with the addition of .40S&W as well as .357 Sig, but I'm certain I'd need a different set of recoil springs for each round as well as barrels (possibly the same spring for the .357 Sig and the .40 S&W).

So far I haven’t had to. Given the advances in ammo technology, there is a very small difference between 9mm +P ammo and .38 Super. In some cases from Cor-Bon they’re almost dead even. The place where the Super shines is when it gets loaded a bit hotter, then it is in the .357 Mag 125 grain load, or the .357 Sig. It is a bit of an anachronism though.

The 10mm in it’s original incarnation is one bag mamma-jamma.
