No, but a 38 special will work in a 357
no the 38 bullet is fatter and and the special is smaller
If you are unsure, take it to a gunsmith. There are more than one type of "38 bullets"
It might not be chambered for 38 special.
No. <><><> Above is correct- however, ,38 Special CARTRIDGES can be used in a .357 magnum revolver. The .38 Special is actually not .38 caliber, but .357 caliber. .38 caliber bullets, such as used in the .38 S&W catridge, cannot be used.
Yes
Two to six, depending on the make, model, and type of firearm.
Yes, but please use the correct term- cartridges. Not bullets. A .38 Special is basically a .357 Short, and you can safely shoot .38 Special in a .357 magnum. The opposite is NOT true.
You are correct, it was made in 1936 & it does take the .38 special cartridge. Size G16 style would be my guess.
There are a dozen different cartridges with 38 in their name, and SOME are compatible with the .357 Magnum. A .357 will fire .38 Special, .38 Short Colt, .38 Long Colt- but NOT .38 S&W.
Two to six, depending on the make, model, and type of firearm.
NO. A ,357 magnum may safely fire .38 Special, but not the other way around.
