I guess I look at this more charitably. The OP knew there was a cartridge called the .38 S&W, and a cartridge called the .38 Special. He was looking at a gun that was stamped .38 S&W SPECIAL CTG, a label that blended two items distinct in his mind. Not knowing that the full name of the .38 Special (at least in S&W land) is the .38 S&W Special, he did the correct thing and asked a question to resolve what appeared to be an ambiguous label. What in that cautious action can justify disdain and mockery?
Nothing, I submit. At the outside there may be room for some ribbing or gentle kidding, but nothing heavier.
