Yes, a .357 Magnum revolver can safely shoot .38 Special ammunition. The .38 Special cartridge is shorter than the .357 Magnum, allowing it to fit in the larger chamber of a .357 Magnum cylinder. However, it's important to ensure that the revolver is in good condition and to follow safe shooting practices.
