If you mentioned it already sorry for the repeat questions but I couldn't find it. What make and model of speed loader is that? I can't find one listed on Brownells. Thanks, Trevor

I found a whole set for a good price to picked it up. This way I can leave my 9mm set up and just get another quick change for the .38 super.

I don't have a case gage for .38 Super yet so I'm using the actual barrel from the gun and calipers. They all fit into the chamber no problem and are 32.26, 32.30, 32.33, 32.37, , 32.42, 32.43, 32.48. I think I found a set of .38 Super dies anyway. I made this mistake because the caliber conversion kit is for both 9mm and .38 super so I assumed that the dies did both too. Dumb ass rokie mistake. Thanks guys, Trevor

I see. Well then. Should I not shoot the 6 test loads that I loaded up already using my dillon 9mm dies?

My caliber conversion kit for my 650 says 9mm/.38 super/9X21 but what about the dies? Do I need actual .38 super dies? Thanks, Trevor

So I'm going to start with a 124gn FMJ and Sihouette. The Ramshot manual says 6.8 up to 7.6. Can I start right at 7.6gn or should I actually start at the bottom and work my way up to 6.8? Or do I want to start even lower than 6.8 just to be safe? Thanks, Trevor

Basically that's the plan in the beginning but I love to work on/modify/experiment with stuff. Every hobby I've ever had evolved trying to make things, better, faster, more efficient etc. That how it was with RC cars, RC planes, target archery and now guns. I started with a Glock 35 back in January that was set up for the standard division in IPSC and short of sending the frame away for custom work there's nothing left on that gun that I have worked on or replaced. That's what I love about open guns but it's also what scares me about open guns. The sky’s the limit. I'm not even sure if I'm going to stay in open but if I do I know I am going to want to work on the gun. It seems to me that after a decent trigger job the next place to go is the barrel & comp. So although I will shoot it as is for a while I plan to learn as much as I can over the winter so that when the season starts up again if I do decide to stick with it I'll have an idea of what I want to do first to it. Thanks, Trevor

So how do we define whether the comp is working effectively or not? Is it when the muzle has very little rise?

I will indeed Mo. Can I find his contact info on our site? Thanks again for all the info guys. I think I'm first going to track down a few mags and some new springs for a few that I have now. Then I'm going to get a better triger job done and maybe try a few recoil springs from an 8 to a 10. Cheers, Trevor

Cool Mo. That's how I'm going to start. I'm such a freak though. I haven't even shot a match yet and already I'm trying to figure out ways to bring the gun up to modern day standards. I might not even like open!

I'm the state of Canada. Nothing but 10rds coast to coast.

Hi Guys, The caspian .38 super I just bought came with 10 round single stack mags. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to a single stack mag? Thanks, Trevor

Thanks guys.

So I could buy a modern uptodate cone comp to put on the ohter barrel?

So can anyone tell me what type of comps those are and where I should start with my reloading for this gun? Right now I'm going with 124gn FMJ and Silhouette powder.

The comp that's on the gun now is a coned comp. You can see the cone through the port in the slide on the last pic.

Here it is. I also inlcuded pics of the second barrel and comp that came with the gun. It needs to be milled though because it will not fit the gun with the current guide rod set up.

Uploading pics to my photo bucket account as I type this. Thanks, Trevor

Thanks for the reply. It just happens to be a single stack. Not by choice, just the way the gun is. I'm shooting it in IPSC in Open. The mags are 10 round capacity, which is all we're allowed to use in Canada.

Hey Guys, I'm not even sure if I want to do this but if I do decided to do it, is it even possible? I have a Caspian Arms .38 Super single stack. Other than a barrel, maybe a new comp and possibly mags, is there anything else that I would need to do to the gun? Is it even worth it just to save money on brass? Thanks, Trevor

Hi Guys, I just picked up a Caspian Arms .38 Super Single stack open gun yesterday and I have a lot of questions. First off, where can I learn all there is to learn about comps and how they work, which one to chose, how to load for them etc? Can any one recommend a few good articles on line etc? Thanks, Trevor

Howdy Folks, Is there a difference between .38 Super and .38 Super +P brass? I have some of both mixed in. Can I use the same amount of powder in both cases when trying to make 160 PF for major in IPSC? Or, should I just put the regular .38 super brass aside? Thanks, Trevor

I might not stay there but that's where I'll start for now. I'm more of a standard shooter anyway. I'm only going to Open because of the insane deal I got on this gun. I'll try it for a while and then let nature take it's course. Thanks, Trevor

Silhouette and 124gn it is then. Thanks guys, Trevor

This will be for IPSC. I need a 160 PF. I already own a chrono so I'll make the most of it. I have to chrono some .45 ACP loads tomorrow acutally!
