The .38 Special can fire .38 Special, or .38 Long Colt. It cannot fire the .38 S&W, which is fatter and shorter.
Post 1972 detective specials are rated for 3,000 rounds of +p ammunition but Colt recommends that after 3,000 rounds they be sent back to Colt for inspection.
The Colt DA 38 Model # 1901, can only use a 38 short, not a long or special.
Maybe. You need to figure out which .38 your Colt is chambered in. .38 Short Colt and .38 Long Colt guns will not chamber a .38 Special. .38 Colt Special is the same as regular .38 Special. If you cannot tell which caliber it is you need to take it to a gunsmith and have him tell you.
No, you cannot.
.38 Special. It can also fire .38 Short Colt and .38 Long Colt. Do not attempt to fire .38 S&W from a .38 Special.
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.
R L Wilson's book on Colt has one.
No. A .357 Magnum revolver (not an automatic, lever action, or anything else with a headspaced chamber) can fire .38 S&W Special ammo, but not .38 Long Colt.
Depends on the pistol. Typically 10 rounds for a Colt Woodsman.
No, you cannot safely shoot .38 Long Colt or .38 Special cartridges in a .38-55 Winchester lever-action rifle. The .38-55 cartridge has a larger case diameter and is designed for a different pressure level than the .38 Long Colt or .38 Special. Attempting to use the wrong ammunition could lead to dangerous malfunctions or damage to the firearm. Always use the correct caliber ammunition specified for your rifle.
Yes, you can use .38 rounds in a .357.
