A semi-rimmed, brass, straight-taper case, Boxer primed. In the late 1920s the Colt company improved its 0.38 automatic pistol and developed this cartridge to go with it. Identical in dimensions to the 0.38 Auto, the 0.38 Super Auto is more powerful, very accurate and is very popular in the western hemisphere, although less common in Europe.

The standard bullet is an 8.42 g jacketed round-nose pattern. Although it will chamber in pistols of 0.38 Auto calibre, it should not be used in them as they are not designed for the higher pressures. Applications include colt and other automatic pistols; some Thompson sub-machine guns and other experimental sub-machine guns.
