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..........................
Colt made a single action army revolver that used 32.23 ammo & I believe Winchester, Colt lightning, Savage & Remington made 32.20 rifles,if that answers your question
yes, but don't shoot the P ammo too often
38 caliber revolver ammo
Be aware! Never fire ammunition in a weapon not chambered for it! Stick to the .45 colt ammo.
The .38 Short Colt catridge may be safely fired in a .38 Special revolver. Not ALL 38 Colts- .38 Short Colt.
if it's a revolver......32 cal revolver ammo if it's a pistol......32 cal pistol ammo
32/20
Yes
32/20
No. A .357 Magnum revolver (not an automatic, lever action, or anything else with a headspaced chamber) can fire .38 S&W Special ammo, but not .38 Long Colt.
The short answer is "no!". The cartridge may fire, but the case will split and the bullet will go somewhere downrange. Not pretty.
Yes
