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 firearm exists that can shoot both 380 and 9mm. Unlike, say, the 357 magnum which can shoot 38 specials. Revolver rounds use the case rim to assure proper head space so they are more interchangeable. The 9mm and 380 are made for auto-loaders and they use the case length, rather than a rim, to determine proper head space. Because of that you can't shoot a 380 through a 9mm.
Your gun is a 357 and can shoot both 357 ammo and 38 special ammo. The nice thing about these guns is you can practice at the range with 38S bullets, which are much cheaper, and save the 357 ammo for home defense.
To properly shoot a .38 Special revolver, such as the 357 model, follow these steps: Ensure the gun is unloaded and the safety is on. Grip the gun firmly with both hands, aligning the sights with your target. Slowly squeeze the trigger to fire, keeping a steady aim. Follow through with your shot and be aware of recoil. Always practice gun safety and follow proper handling procedures.
If it came from the factory with both cylinders, you shoot the ammo the cylinder was designed for.
you pull the trigger back all the way

the 38 S&W cartridge is shorter the the 38 special and the 38 S&W cylinder is also shorter the the 38 special cylinder. both colt and S&W make the 38 S&W cartridge or 38 short cartridge..........................
NO, a 38 Special is actually .357 caliber. NO, a 38 Special is actually .357 caliber. A 38 special is NOT a 357 magnum. Both bullet heads are about .357 in diameter. The difference between the 38 and 357 is the length of the brass case. The 357 brass case is a bit longer then the 38 special case, and the gun powder load is a bit higher then the 38 special load...... Further, you can shoot a 38 special case in the 357 magnum revolver, however, you cannot fire a 357 magnum round in the 38 special. The 38 special cylinder is too short for the 357 round......
Most .22 caliber revolvers will hold 6 rounds in the cylinder chambers. Some models from different manufacturers will have a 9 round capacity. I own both.
