Their flagship product was the Elite Performance for personal defense, which covered all of the major calibers. This ammunition would be made in Kentucky, but produced with machines that were owned by Sig Sauer, run by Sig Sauer employees, and with Sig Sauer Specifications. This was to be a temporary arrangement, lasting only until they could open their own facility. At the 2016 Shotshow, the Governor of Arkansas announced that Sig Sauer would be relocating their manufacturing operation to Jacksonville, Arkansas. Since then, Sig Sauer has added calibers to their Elite Performance line, and they have also introduced full metal jacket practice ammunition in a wide variety of calibers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54092\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-08.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sig-38-super-ammunition-test\" title=\"Sig .38 Super Ammunition Test\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54092\" title=\"Sig .38 Super Ammunition Test\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-54092\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-08-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Controlled expansion?

No problem.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Is .38 Super an Obsolete Caliber?<\/h2>\n<p>The .38 Super was introduced in the late 1920s as a higher pressure loading of the .38 ACP or .38 Auto. The cartridge was designed for use in the M1911 pistol, and was capable of penetrating the body armor and automobile bodies of the time. This technology was necessitated by the tactics criminals had adopted to combat the handgun rounds of the day. The .357 Magnum revolver burst onto the scene in 1934, and quickly usurped the 1911 pistol in .38 Super as the primary demand of police departments everywhere. I don\u2019t think that the 38 Super round is obsolete, so much as it&#8217;s simply forgotten. In Latin America, where civilians are not allowed to own a caliber that the police or military use, the .38 Super is still a viable choice.<\/p>\n<p>The caliber saw a rise in popularity back in the United States in the 1980s, due to the expanding popularity of competitive shooting- it had sufficient pressures to operate a compensator, providing just the level of power needed without compromising accuracy. My attraction to this caliber lies in its performance in a self-defense gun; it is more robust than a 9mm. With an almost imperceptible difference in recoil and no loss in magazine capacity. In my experience, the .38 Super also offers enhanced feeding in the 1911 form when compared to standard 9mm. Parabellum. The .38&#8217;s case length is identical to the 45 ACP, which resolves numerous potential feeding issues.<\/p>\n<h2>Ammunition Data<\/h2>\n<p>Both of the Sig rounds I tested were listed at 1230 FPS from the muzzle. Using a PC Digital Chronograph from Competition Electronics, three rounds of each type of ammunition were tested at 10 feet from the muzzle. Prior to firing, the muzzle was raised to 90 degrees and then slowly lowered to the target. This allowed all of the propellant to be at the rear of the case. Most shooting sports utilize some variant of this method to test ammunition.[one_half]<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 146px\" width=\"452\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"117\"><strong>Sig V Crown 125GR JHP<\/strong><\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"114\"><strong>Sig FMJ 125GR RN<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"23\">1<\/td>\n<td width=\"94\">1274<\/td>\n<td width=\"16\">1<\/td>\n<td width=\"97\">1249<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"23\">2<\/td>\n<td width=\"94\">1295<\/td>\n<td width=\"16\">2<\/td>\n<td width=\"97\">1241<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"23\">3<\/td>\n<td width=\"94\">1283<\/td>\n<td width=\"16\">3<\/td>\n<td width=\"97\">1253<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/one_half][one_half_last]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54100\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-16.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sig-38-super-ammunition-test\" title=\"Sig .38 Super Ammunition Test\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54100\" title=\"Sig .38 Super Ammunition Test\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-54100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-16-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Picture perfect in the Clear Ballistics gel.\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-16-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-16-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-16.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-54100\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Picture perfect in the Clear Ballistics gel.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n<p>I took this opportunity to bust out my new Dillon Precision D \u2013 Terminator scale to weigh the components of each of the test rounds. I observed that the powder charge composition and weight appeared to be identical in both rounds. The cases were different, with the V Crown being nickel-plated while the FMJ was a traditional brass case. Both of the bullet weights were listed at 125 grains, and I did measure some very slight deviations from the published weight of each round. It seems clear that Sig Sauer&#8217;s objective was to produce practice rounds that would function and feel the same as the self-defense rounds, and these measurements seem to indicate that the goal was carefully met. This consistency is ideal for saving a few bucks on training while still maintaining maximum feel and performance between the two rounds.<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 248px\" width=\"473\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"127\">Sig V Crown 125GR JHP<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"127\">Sig FMJ 125GR RN<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"90\">Bullet Weight<\/td>\n<td width=\"37\">124.3<\/td>\n<td width=\"90\">Bullet Weight<\/td>\n<td width=\"37\">125.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"90\">Power Charge<\/td>\n<td width=\"37\">6.5<\/td>\n<td width=\"90\">Power Charge<\/td>\n<td width=\"37\">6.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"90\">Empty Case<\/td>\n<td width=\"37\">68.4<\/td>\n<td width=\"90\">Empty Case<\/td>\n<td width=\"37\">68.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"90\">Total Weight<\/td>\n<td width=\"37\">199.2<\/td>\n<td width=\"90\">Total Weight<\/td>\n<td width=\"37\">200<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54115\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-31.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sig-38-super-ammunition-test\" title=\"Sig .38 Super Ammunition Test\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54115\" title=\"Sig .38 Super Ammunition Test\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-54115\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-31-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"The practice round.\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-31-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-31-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-31.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-54115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The practice round.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half][one_half_last]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54119\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-35.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sig-38-super-ammunition-test\" title=\"Sig .38 Super Ammunition Test\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54119\" title=\"Sig .38 Super Ammunition Test\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-54119\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-35-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"The JHP.

So for the second shot, we placed an additional block of Clear Ballistics gel behind the first one. One of the phenomena that you may experience when working with gel is that the suction that it creates will sometimes pull the bullet back into the permanent wound cavity. By simply placing the second block, we created an environment that allowed the vacuum to pull the bullet back into the first block. The overall penetration of the round was measured at 15.5\u201d. The temporary wound cavity captured by the camera was quite incredible, and the permanent wound cavity was about 250% larger than the projectile.<\/p>\n<p>[full_width]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54103\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-19.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sig-38-super-ammunition-test\" title=\"Sig .38 Super Ammunition Test\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54103\" title=\"Sig .38 Super Ammunition Test\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54103\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-19.jpg\" alt=\"Two blocks together show the .38 Super's penetration. \" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-19.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-19-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Sig-.38-Super-19-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-54103\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two blocks together show the .38 Super&#8217;s penetration.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/full_width]<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Sig Sauer has delivered on every promise that they made for this round.
