Depends on how you would like "power" defined. The .38 Special cartridge has between 200 and 300 ft lbs of energy- less than a .357 Magnum, more that a .32 auto.
Gun shops, gun shows.
No, you should not fire .357 ammo in a .38 Special gun as the .357 ammo is longer and more powerful, which can be dangerous and damage the gun.
No! Do not attempt to do this! <><><><> Strongly agree with answer above. Your revolver is possibly caliber ,38 S&W (NOT .38 Special) If you were able to load and fire a .38 Super, it will likely destroy the gun- and will not do you a lot of good. Please have a gunsmith examine it and check caliber before shooting anything in it.
A Colt .45 revolver. The gun was plated with gold, and the bullets were solid gold.
No. .38 Long Colt was the forerunner to .38 Special- and was originally a black powder cartridge. The .38 Special is more powerful- the .357 magnum is MUCH more powerful. Neither the Special nor the magnum should be fired in a gun chambered for .38 Long Colt. This is VERY dangerous.
Need MUCH more information in order to answer this question.
50 calibur muzzleloader
A BB gun would be more powerful
Most of the Iver Johnson .38s were in caliber .38 S&W, not .38 Special. The .38 S&W is shorter, slightly fatter, and less powerful. Check with large gun stores.
Booth used a pistol to shoot President Lincoln in the back of the head. The gun is a single-shot flintlock, made by Philadelphia gunsmith Henry Derringer. The gun is just six inches total in length with a 2 1/2″ barrel. It fired a powerful .44-calibur bullet.
Could be any of them as the "00" does not denote caliber, but the size of the shot contained in the shell.
The 17 pound gun was more powerful than the 90mm gun.
