Once I shoot a Crow or two, I am going to try the pan fried crow recipe.
However, I stand by my original assertion that the Super 38 was not originally intended to be a law enforcement handgun and was not designed with that in mind.
While Colt was manufacturing 37,835 Super 38's, the majority of which were shipped overseas per Kevin Williams in his article Uncommon but super: The Pre-WWII Colt Super .38 Automatic, they were manufacturing just about 250,000 38 Specials in the Official Police, New Service and Police Positive lines, while S&W was making just about the same number of M&P's in 38 special, as well as 30,000 odd 32-20's, 6,600 pre-war .357's and roughly 15,000 38-44's, not to mention a fair sized pile of I-frame 38 S&W and 32 S&W long's . I venture to say that there were probably more SAA's in law enforcement holsters than 38 Supers. It is an error to assert wide spread usage by police, or that law enforcement usage was a significant factor in the design of the Cartridge.
Likewise, I doubt seriously that the Super 38 had much to do with the development of the 357 Magnum, as neither Elmer Keith nor Phil Sharpe made mention of it in their writings, and they were the fellows who suggested that S&W develop a "magnum" 38. Certainly Major Wesson saw it as a hunting/outdoorsman weapon, though some Law Enforcement personnel were quick to adopt them. IIRC, J. Edgar Hoover got one of the first ones, and a goodly number of other Police type individuals bought them as well. However, the price assured that most were purchased by Hunters, and the well-to-do who fancied themselves as such.
