I have been looking for a 38 super with a 3 to 3.5 barrel but no one seems to make one, why? There is no reason I can see. The round is very close to ..45 so length is not the problem. It's the same as 9mm in diameter so that's not a problem. The barrel is almost identical to 9mm. The 38 super has enough more oomph than the 9mm to be meaningful. It would seem to be a natural option to 9mm or .45. Come on Springfield, S & W, Colt. Step up to the plate.
