73-Captain is right.

For the tone of my comment, I apologize. Please forgive me.

For its basic gist, however, I remain unrepentant. The original poster did not ask "Should I buy a Colt .38 Super?" He did not ask "Are old .38 Super Colts accurate?" or "How do old .38 Super Colts headspace?" He merely asked if there was some place he could get measurements to tell the various generations apart with more exactitude than the "fat barrel/thin barrel" info he had on hand.

Your comment was unhelpful to that end. It did not answer the question. It was not "signal", it was "noise". It took up bandwidth without answering the question and served only to provoke argument, into which I was baited in a moment of foolishness.
