No... we shan't ban the transgressor for the use of the "K" word. Since I own a Dan Wesson Guardian in 38 Super (it's my daily carry)... I will use the "force of Good" (DW) to absolve the transgressor of his error in choosing a "K-gun"

Enjoy your new Pistol. I've been thinking a target 38 super. My 45's and .357 are starting to make my hands twinge. Might drop them from the line and just stay 38 super, 38 Special and 9mm.

Now.. on the reloading side of things... I talked via email with Keith from DW a few weeks back. Try to find .356 anything to reload for the 38 super. I had 3500 115 grain .355 9mm on the shelf, and another 4000 125 grain .357.... both are Montana Gold JHP. Lo and behold, I can load both the 115 9mm OR the 125 grain .357. They told me that it's been done for years. So I loaded up some 125 grain .357 hollowpoint into 38 Supercomp cases and went off to the range. I used load data for 124 grain JHP. I now have a new favorite load. The 2/1000 difference goes down the barrel just fine, and the accuracy is better than when I use 9mm pills. The 9mm profile is more angled then the rounded JHP of the 357, but they feed just fine! So... again... enjoy your new pistol!

Congrats. Gotta love those Eclipses, they look elegant. Didn't know they came in 38 Super?

38super is on of my favorite calibers (I have a couple different pistols in it. One for the rand and one for carry). As for the Kimber I had a TLE in 10mm and it was a nice gun. I bought another(great deal) smaller one I was going to have built up, but the gunsmith didn't like it for what I wanted done so I sold it before I even shot it. Haven't found one since the 'tripped my trigger' though.
