According to a source at SDS/Tisas, they will be arriving sometime in May. Those of us who have expressed interest in the Desperado and Regulator (their names, not mine) should keep our eyes open for their release. Retailing for $800 or thereabouts, you get a 9mm with an accessory .38 Super barrel (dunno how many magazines come with them, though) You only have to plug in the Super barrel, and use the appropriate magazine, and bingo, there you go. Colt uses 14lb recoil springs for both chamberings, I presume Tisas will do the same. As long as you use factory ammo or it's equivalent in .38 Super, there should be no reason to use heavier springs.
I already have a Colt .38 Super and a Springfield Range Officer I've converted to Super, but I doubt I'll be able to resist one if I can find them before they get sold out. I like the Super a lot. It's funner than necessary, and with a good barrel, plenty accurate.
Granted, they are old-school steel, with a limited magazine capacity, but I don't give a rip about that. I like 'em, and that's that. I could do without the chrome plating, but it would be the only "shiny" pistol in the swarm, so I can deal with it.
