38 super
38 super has always been hot, but as far as I know 38 acp was not.
In fact before the advent of the 357 mag, the old tommy gun was put out in 38 super for the FBI, so they could shoot into the engine block of the old v-8s in the roaring 20s.
38 super is real close to 357 mag velocities and much hotter with bigger bullets than the 9 mm, and the case is longer than the 9mm
