A firearm chambered to fire 38 special ammunition
Are you looking for specs on the cartridge itself or a firearm for which it was chambered? To make your search easier, the .38 Colt New Police is the same as the .38 S&W cartridge. Not that this is not the same cartridge as the .38 S&W Special as they are totally different.
Yes, a .357 firearm can shoot .38 Special ammunition because the .38 Special cartridge is shorter than the .357 cartridge, allowing it to fit and be fired safely in a .357 firearm.
Having a magazine in a firearm can mean that the firearm is loaded, and ready for use (if a cartridge has been chambered). If it is not loaded, it takes longer to put it in a condition that it can be fired.
That depends if you are talking about the firearm or about the cartridge.
On an airweight Smith & Wesson firearm, or any firearm, "ctg" means cartridge. For example, "38 special ctg" or "38 spl ctg" would mean the firearm fires a 38 special cartridge. Cartridge in reference to firearms means the entire package which carries the projectile or bullet, the powder or propellant charge, and the primer which detonates and ignites the powder. The cartridge case is usually made of brass, or less commonly, steel. Many antique cartridge cases were made of copper. What many people incorrectly call the "bullet" is actually the entire cartridge package.
Depends entirely on the firearm. With repeating arms, it will be operation of the action. That can be cycling the bolt, lever, pump or operating handle. With a single shot it is placing a cartridge by hand in the chamber.
No, you can not. The 44 Special can be fired in any firearm chambered and marked for the 44 Magnum cartridge. The 444 Marlin is a rifle cartridge (much longer than either the 44 Spl or 44 Mag), and is much more powerful. The 44 Spl and 44 Mag. were designed as handgun cartridges, but have been adapted to a small number of lever-action carbines. Bert H.
Cartridge
No. The 44 Magnum cartridge is too long to fit a .44 Special firearm- and it is loaded much hotter than the .44 Special- unsafe to attempt. .44 Special CAN be safely fired from a .44 Magnum firearm, but not vice versa.
