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.

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.
