        Not on the roster I would assume, unless you are looking for something older. There have been some in the for sale section.

          FYI-If you want a 38 superauto, you should consider the 357 Sig. It uses the same size bullet, and has close to the same velocity. The benefit to having a gun in 357 Sig, is that you only need a barrel change to shoot 40S&W. They both use the same mags.

            He specifically stated Colt .38 Super and Colt does not make a .357 Sig, nor do any aftermarket 1911 barrel makers that I can find. Is there something I don't know about Colt and .357 Sig?

The full length dust cover rail makes a world of difference in the "when I run out of bullets I'm going to beat you to death with the pistol" look that causes bad guys to run in fear, and lesser men to feel inadequate. It looks just plain beastly and the extra heft up front does help manage recoil a bit better. Plus, an angel told me that when God called JMB to heaven it was to build him a full rail 1911!

              What can I expect to pay for a used series 80 Nickel or Blue?

                BarSto and Fusion both make a 1911 barrel in Sig .357...

                Not saying it would be a good idea to get one over a .38 Super, but they are available for those who want one.

                  The are still making the basic version (not on their web-site anymore model O2991), and they look to be going for 1k, on gun broker.
                  So, anything under that, depending on the condition.

                  They are currently make the .38 super->special combat government.
                  MSRP new ~$1,900, market price new seems to be ~$1,600 from a dealer.

                  Series 70, perfectly condition blued...that's for the collectors

                        I know he specifically wanted to know about a Colt in 38 Super. I just threw the 357 SIG out there in case he just wanted a higher velocity 9mm, and not specifically a 38 super.

                              I know where at least one is....



                              "Enhanced" Colt Super .38 from the 90's, shown here with Hakan Pek grips; I've since restored the gun to its original configuration with a factory "duckbill" grip safety.
