Thanks guys!
Kaliburz, I am a dealer and was lucky enough to find it for $579 + $20 shipping. I considered myself lucky to be getting a new Colt like that in ANY calibur, so I bought the Super despite knowing little about the cartridge. From what I have seen so far, I think I can handload the 115 gr. jhp's in an unsupported barrel to 1350 or maybe even 1400 (my goal).
