.38 S&w

Recommended Posts

Ballistically equilavent to a 36 cal BP 1851 Colt but in a much smaller handier package.

 

I have a Safety Hammerless S&W in 38 S&W. [lemon squeezer] With no SA capability, almost non-existant rear sight, and the 1 1/2 ton reeeeeally realy long trigger pull, beer cans are pretty safe at anything over 10 yds. But still fun to shoot. :)

There is an Italian ammo co.

"Fiocchi" that makes a pretty decent 38 sw round.

I got hold of a box by accident and fired in a 38 sp.It did not seem weak.

Not a good idea pushing a .361+ slug down a .357 bore. Likely didn't feel weak because of the excessive pressure.
