Yes but I would only shoot those loads with a 55gr.bullet or lighter.I believe the smith and Wesson model 1500 has a twist rate that is not made for the heavier bullets found in todays .223 ammo.
Yes, I have actually done this myself. I was out hunting with my cousin and I thought he was a deer. My instincts kicked in and I shot a slug straight at him. Luckily, I'm a very poor shot and I hit his model 1000 instead of him, but let me tell you, the slug went right through the gun and kept on going. So yes, it is very easy to shoot a slug through a 12 gauge model 1000 Smith and Wesson pump shotgun, as that's the exact model my cousin Darrell had been using. I don't know why you'd want to do this, but I guess you can do whatever you want with your guns.
Not recommended
You have a Smith and Wesson model 14 38 special. The 38 refers to the diameter of the barrel. That barrel is 38/100 of an inch in diameter. A 45 automatic has a barrel that is 45/100 of an inch in diameter. A 9mm has a barrel with a 9mm diameter. You can shoot 9mm ammunition from a 38 special. A 22 pistol has a small diameter barrel.
Yes. You will have to shoot different brands and weights to see which one(s) your shotgun prefers.
1. It can, but, it is not advised. 2. It is stated by Smith and Wesson that the model 14-3, which is the third change of the model 14 can safely shoot plus P ammunition.
You need to find a firearms instructor.
If it is not choked to tight, yes.
.32 rimfire Smith and Wesson model 2 1/2
NO
Depending on what it is choked, yes. Have a gunsmith examine it.
You can, but, you should not. The frame is not rated for +P
You must follow the instructions in the owners manual or call S&W
Thye smith&wesson model 28-2 was chambered for the .357 magnum cartridge.I would say Start with the one round that you and the gun shoot best.Then you can experiment on different weight bullet loads.You may also shoot standard .38 special loads in your model 28.
No
