OK, I've got a couple of questions. I am building up a 38 super gun for IPSC open class. I've read some stuff on how you can shoot 9x23 in a 38 super.

1. Is it REALLY OK to shoot 9x23 in a gun chambered for 38 super ?

2. Are there 9x23 specific extractors or do you just adjust one meant for 38s to accomodate the rimless case ?

I've heard there may be some advantages to the 9x23 over the super so that's why I'm wondering. I'd appreciate any information on the subject. Thanks.

I just thought I'd also add that the barrel is a Briley ramped (fully supported case) linkless barrel in 38 super in case that matters.

OK, sounds like I'm just going to stick with the 38 super since that's what the gun is already set up for and will be cheaper.

One more thing though, since I'm still not 100% sure on this. Are the 38TJ and 38SC a completely different caliber than 38 super, or are they meant for use in a 38 super gun with the "TJ" and "SC" being just a way of describing the differences in the cases.

Thanks all for the info.
