Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Although John Browning’s first semi-automatic pistols were highly regarded by the United States military at the time of their release, the .38 caliber round was seen as having limited stopping power. In 1928, when the 1911 Government Model – the hugely-popular evolutionary pinnacle of Browning’s early designs – was redesigned to fire an improved .38 ACP cartridge and previewed at the National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio.
After its very successful unveiling, the Colt Super .38 Automatic Pistol started shipping in January 1929. The simple, strong, modern design of the Colt, and the ballistics of the new Super .38 cartridge were considered to be vastly superior to what came before.
