consider it`s a rimless round that`s going to want to drop deep in the chamber and won`t reliably fire in any case. If and when you do get a fire the bullet is smaller than expected in any .38 or .357 revolver so accuracy will be bad and the cases will split because they don`t fit properly, Besides super .38 Auto cartridges are more expensive
A .38 Special round is compatible with a .357 revolver because the .357 revolver is designed to shoot both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition. The .38 Special round is slightly shorter than the .357 Magnum round, but it can be safely fired in a .357 revolver without any issues.
Yes, a .357 Magnum cartridge can be fired in a revolver chambered for .38 Special, as the .357 Magnum has the same dimensions as the .38 Special but is longer. However, it's important to note that .38 Special ammunition cannot be safely fired in a gun designed only for .357 Magnum, as it could lead to potential malfunctions or safety issues. Always ensure the firearm is appropriate for the ammunition being used.
No, you cannot. The .38 Special can be fired out of .357 Magnum revolver (but not automatics or lever action rifles), however.
No. You can only safely fire the correct caliber from each handgun. For instance, for a .40 caliber handgun, you can only fire .40 ammunition. There are some minor exceptions, mostly in revolvers. For instance, you can fire .38 special or .357 magnum from a revolver that will fire .357 magnum, but not the other way around.
No. The .38 Special cartridge can be fired in a .357 Magnum revolver - and only a revolver, which does not require chamber headspacing - but it doesn't work the other way around. The .357 Magnum cartridge is too long to fit into a .38 Special cylinder, and the .357 Sig cartridge is in no way compatible, either with the .357 Magnum or the .38 Special.
Yes, .44 Russian and .44 Special can be fired safely from a .44 Magnum revolver. They are the same diameter, shorter, with less power. Also darned hard to find and expensive.
.38 Special, .38 Long Colt, .38 Short Colt. .38 S&W CANNOT be used in a .38 Special. .38 Special can be fired from a .357 Magnum weapon, but .357 Magnum cannot be fired from a .38 Special weapon.
Well, a revolver is a type of pistol (although revolving rifles have been made) which used a rotating cylinder to hold the ammuniton, and a firearm is considered loaded when there is live ammunition in the chamber and/or feeding device (such as a magazine or cylinder), so a loaded revolver would simply be a revolver which had live rounds in the cylinder, and was ready to be fired.
.38 Special (and only .38 Special... no other. 38 cartridge) can be fired in a .357 Magnum revolver, but won't work in autoloaders such as the Desert Eagle or Coonan.
.38 Super MAY be fired in a .357 magnum firearm. Due to the semi-rimmed cartridge case, it may not extract, headspacing may be off. Not recommended.
The .38 Short Colt catridge may be safely fired in a .38 Special revolver. Not ALL 38 Colts- .38 Short Colt.
DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
