The .38 Short Colt has a case length of .762", but is otherwise identical to the .38 Long Colt. The two have the same base diameter as a .38 Special, which is smaller than a .38 S&W or .38 Colt New Police (which are interchangeable). .38 Short Colt ammo in a .38 S&W might work, but I wouldn't recommend it. Cases will bulge and could split (but I doubt it).
