Where did you find it? Have you shot any 9X23 in your .38 Super?

I have not tried any. This will be my first. I bought it from Midway.

Another advantage of .38 Super over .357 Sig is that you can reload .38 Super. Yes, I know you can also reload .357 Sig, but bottleneck cartridges have to be trimmed and I'm not about to trim pistol brass. I've never done it, not once, and I'm going to my grave able to say the same thing.

As I said, most .38 Supers shoot it fine, but if you happen to have a "large" chamber, accuracy may not be what you want. 9X23's have a very slight taper, while .38 Supers are a straight-wall case. If you have any trouble, I'll buy them from you. I need to get some factory ammo anyway.

That sounds good. I will let you know how it performs.
