I'd never try to shoot an .38 Special in a gun designed for .38S&W, but the other way around sounds

reasonable. The .38S&W is a little more snug, but doesn't require any forcing to get into or out of

the chamber. I may give them a shot next time I'm at the range.



Why?



Wouldn't trust the frame of the gun. And, I wouldn't go buy a .38S&W just to test the theory.

I meant why would you shoot 38 S&W in a 38 special?



They won't even fit in my Colt (well maybe of I tapped them in) and I

have heard you can have extraction trouble but I never actually tried

it.



Well, I've got a box of them, from somewhere. Probably given to me by a former-cop brother back

when. So I was wondering what to do with them They fit the .38 Special cylinders just fine, as I

said, except for being a little more snug. I'm talking about my Mod 28.

You should experiment with high power rounds mismatched to your firearms.

Doesn't make sense to me to stuff questionable ammo into a new gun. Johnny should trade or sell any oddball stuff he has. Good old common sense isn't so common in his world.
