A ".38 +P revolver" is simply a .38 Special revolver which is rated to fire +P loads. It's still a .38 Special, and the +P doesn't change the dimensions of the round itself.
No! Do not attempt to do this! <><><><> Strongly agree with answer above. Your revolver is possibly caliber ,38 S&W (NOT .38 Special) If you were able to load and fire a .38 Super, it will likely destroy the gun- and will not do you a lot of good. Please have a gunsmith examine it and check caliber before shooting anything in it.
Be aware! Never fire ammunition in a weapon not chambered for it! Stick to the .45 colt ammo.
No, you should not fire .357 ammo in a .38 Special gun as the .357 ammo is longer and more powerful, which can be dangerous and damage the gun.
You can fire 32-20 ammo in a 32-20 revolver. That cartridge was used for both rifles and handguns. EARLY single action reolvers were meant for lower powered black powder cartridges, but later guns, such as the S&W Military & Police Revolver should fire any standard off-the-shelf 32-20.
There are numerous handguns that will fire more than one caliber or type of ammo. The Taurus Judge will fire .410 shotgun ammo or .45 Colt ammo. Smith and Wesson has just started producing a gun similar revolver called the Governer that will fire .410, .45 Colt, or .45 ACP. You can fire .38 special in any gun that is chambered in .357 magnum (but not vice-versa) or .44 special in a gun chambered for .44 magnum (but not vice-versa). Also there are other types. There is a very rare revolver called the Medusa that will fire anything in the .38 or 9mm family, including 9mm Kurz (380), 9x19mm, 38 special, and .357 magnum.
you can, but not very often.
yes, but don't shoot the P ammo too often
They can only fire the .455 Webley ammo. Don't attempt to use any other cartridge in this revolver.
Generally speaking, no, and, you should never try to fire any ammo from a gun other than what it is designed to fire. You may be able to get it to fire, but you could damage the gun or hurt yourself.
