but John Browning designed a 380 for Colt that looks sorta like that gun. I believe it would be marked .380 ACP.
I have heard of some guns with a tight extractor holding

380 rounds tight enough to fire it, but I sure wouldn't recommend it. Some of the early 38 Super was also marked 38 Auto on the brass.
back in the mid 80s one of my distributors

was also a good friend and he would call and tell me he had a big wooden keg coming to me. He would say don't ask, just write a check for it when it comes in. He sent me all kinds of neat stuff that he brought in from South America and other exotic places. One big wooden keg had a dozen all steel Llama Especials in 38 auto. They were all long slides, probably 6" slide and barrels, don't really remember exactly. But they were marked 38 Auto. I test fired them with 38 Super and they shot perfectly, never a hitch. Super guns. Wish I had saved one for myself.
I shot 38 Supers in my old model Ruger 357 ..
