I am stuck at the moment in choosing between 38S or 38SC for my STI DVC Open 38 Super.
First silly question, my pistol says it is 38S, does it mean everything about my pistol is tuned for 38S load?
Initial research tells me that all I need to do is get another dedicated extractor for 38SC and I am good to go, is this correct? or do I also need to tune my magazines and what else? Is there anything else needed to be changed in my 38S barrel? I assume there is no 38SC barrel? please forgive my ignorance....
The reason I am wanting to use 38SC brass is what people say about its advantage when it comes to stacking in the magazine and feeding reliability, is there really a massive difference when it comes to reliability? I got used to shooting a very reliable pistol in Production Division for 7 years, 98% of my handloaded ammo went bang, very very few FTE or FTF mostly because of something else, I know that in Open Division I will benefit on my meticulous approach to handloading, but I am unable to figure out which way to go, 38S or 38SC, if my goal is feeding and ejecting realibility.
I am also considering at running my main pistol on 38SC then a backup (also a DVC Open) on 38S, will this benefit me or better to stick to one?
Please share your thoughts and experiences...
Thanks in advance. Cheers!
