Sorry. You're right Jim. I don't know much about what events are available once I start contacting shooting clubs but I can say that I will not enter any that require movement ("Action" or whatever their various names are). Pure mastery of sight picture, trigger control, and breathing with no additional challenges to deal with, are the appealing features. So this means Bullseye (with respect to the added challenges for the rapid fire stage) or any of the various informal competitions that have the shooter is a static, standing position, shooting for score at a ringed target. I hope that helps.

Regarding the headspace issue, I might not be in good shape. The 38 Super is something called a Series 70 which I noticed was made prior to your twenty year cut off. So if it headspaces on the rim, I would have to at least be aware of this and maybe plan on an upgrade in the future.
