Interesting tidbit - there's an article in the current issue of Man At Arms For The Gun Collector that suggests Dillinger carried a Super 38 rather than a Government Model .45, and the infamous machine pistol made by Harold Lebman was also a .38 Super.
The is correct on the .38 Super it was and still more accurate than a .45 Auto. The other reason is that the .38 Super would penetrate the vest they had back then and a .45 would not.
