It's like asking "Car marked with 318?". More information needed. Caliber, maker, barrel length, box, accessories, condition, finish, etc..
The pistol fired the .38 Long Colt cartridge, not to be confused with the .38 Smith & Wesson Special (.38 Special), .38 Super, .38 Short Colt, or any other cartridge marked as .38 or .380. That is the only ammunition type which can be fired through this pistol. Current production .38 Long Colt ammo may be run through this pistol. However, I would advise you to have a competent gunsmith inspect the pistol to ensure it is in a condition where it is safe to fire first.
Impossible to answer without a DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ALL MARKINGS AND LETTERING, condition, box, papers, accessories.
how to breakdown and load 38 caliber iver johnson pistol?
I have that same pistol and want to know where to get bullets for it ! .38 S&W special is the same as .38 special. Just avoid cartridges marked +P.
I have seen people shoot accurately at 100 yards or more with a .38 pistol. However, in general, a pistol bullet can travel, on average, about a mile.
no the 38 bullet is fatter and and the special is smaller
Never heard of a PB 38
i did
No. 38 Special only.
It will usually be marked somewhere on the barrel.
.38 Special is a specific caliber. There are other .38 caliber cartridges- about a dozen. The most common OTHER 38 is the .38 S&W, which is shorter, fatter, and less powerful than the .38 Special. MOST of the different .38s do NOT interchange.
.38 S&W. This is NOT .38 Special.
