Can you tell me more about a smith and Wesson with 38 sw special ctg marked on right side mainly does it take the 38 special ammunition or just the 38?
You gun takes the .38 Special. Its original (and proper) name was ".38 Smith & Wesson Special" since Smith & Wesson introduced the first gun chambered for this cartridge, which differentiated it from the earlier ".38 Smith & Wesson". The .38 S&W Special will not interhange with the .38 S&W.
Can you shoot a 38 special round out of a 38 S and W?
They are two different calibers, the 38 special round being a later invention. The 38 special should not fit into the 38 S & W chamber. But as the 38 special was not anticipated at the time the 38 S&W was first made, it can have a chamber that does fit the 38 special. As the 38 special is a higher pressure round, and comes in even higher pressure plus P cartridges, it is a bad idea to try to fire these in a 38 S&W revolver. It can crack or burst the cylinder among other things.

Can a 38 shoot a 38 special?
Depends which type of .38 you're referring to. When most people say ".38", they're referring to the .38 Special. Firearms chambered in .38 Special can fire .38 Special cartridges, and nothing else. The .38 Special can also be fired from a .357 Magnum revolver (but only from revolvers - not from anything with a headspaced chamber). The .38 Special is not compatible with the .38 S&W Long, .38 Super, or any other type of .38 caliber cartridge.
