Opinion time!
Back story got involved on a colt group buy. Plunked money down on a competition 9mm in February blah blah blah got called today it was in. Shoot down and in a hurry filled out paperwork grabbed the box and shot back to work. Got home later and looked at the box 9mm 70 series stainless steel “neat” open the box and remove it from the bag, first thing I see “38 super” rollmark. Drop a 9 and a 38 super in and yep it’s a super. If this was you keep or return? I do have a super already a1991 and no 9mm

Serial number match the box?

For me .38 Super would be a plus.

All I know is someone has your 9mm and is wondering why their .38 super won’t chamber.

Seriously though, I’d be on the phone with CS.

That’s funny. We just got 2 Ronins direct from Springfield Armory. Serial numbers matched the box which said 9mm. Both had 9mm mags. Both were .45 acp. We ordered 9mms.

You should not keep it.  You should box it up and send it to me!

Maybe they’d fit a 9mm barrel for you for free?

Local shop, who works with colt a lot, offered to swap me for a competition 9. I decided to keep the super and sell my series 80 38 super. Maybe that’ll turn into another 9mm 1911 maybe I’ll take em up on the offer to fit a 9 barrel.
