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.
The 17 pound gun was more powerful than the 90mm gun.
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.
