Model Number 925 S and W 38?

The gun is likely a Harrington & Richardson (H&R) model 925. The caliber is .38 Smith and Wesson (S&W) special, not to be confused with .38 special (SPL). You must shoot the .38 S&W ammo, not .38 spl.


I just picked up a sw 38 spl ctg airweight with 2 inch barrel i bought some 38 spl rounds with 130 grain fmj i tested the bullet end at the end of the barrel and it doesn't fit. What correct ammo?

.38 special IS the correct ammo for a gun chambered in .38 special. Trying to take a round and push it into the barrel is not the way to "test" to see if it's the correct ammo because the cartridge or bullet won't fit into the barrel that way unless you force it. If the gun is a .38 special, you buy .38 special ammo and it will work.


What ammunition can you fire in a 38 special?

If it is only listed as .38 Special (spl), use only that ammo. If it is .38 S&W special, use only that ammo. Don't try to mix them. The diameters are not the same. If you still cannot determine the actual cartridge caliber, take it to a gunsmith and have them identify it for you.

Can you shoot 38 spl ammo in a 38 spl plus p ruger?

There is no such thing as a ".38 Special +P" firearm - it's still a .38 Special, with some indication from the manufacturer that it is capable of handling the higher chamber pressures of the more heavily loaded +P cartridges. That's the only difference between a regular and a +P cartridge - more powder.
