Colt's .38 Super El Jefe De Jefes

[Grendel Guy]

Meheecans love their .38 Supers…

Yes, it's kind of forced love. At the time my FIL got his, they weren't allowed to have to have firearms chambered in the same caliber as the military/law enforcement use so no 9mm allowed. Which is for the better as the super has more power.

I always wanted a long slide .38 Super.

I wouldn't mind one either. When the FIL passed my son jumped on it like a fumbled football. It's a 5" Gold Cup. My MIL was gonna sell it and my son said no way, that was Grandpa's. Ain't gonna leave the family.

My brother that lives in another state bought a Colt “ jefe de jefes “ 38 super back in 1991. I saw it back then stainless steel with engraving. Just a nice piece. 🙂

I'm puzzled as to why Colt would build a gun tributed to a Mexican drug lord. Google who "Jefe de Jefes" was.

The Mexican cartels must have gotten to Colt 🤣.

Mexicans like the word “ jefe “ it means Boss ~ and we like macho man things and behavior.

If I see a fancy 1911 and in the 38 super round with all that fancy engraving on it - I really don’t care or even think about the drug dude or the cartel - I just like the pistol.

My brother has one, I’ve handled it before and it’s bad arse.

It is what it is ~
