If the gun is Spanish, it can use either .38 Long Colt or .38 Short Colt. .38 Short Colt ammunition is still made by Remington, or was the last time I checked. Black Hills was making .38 Long Colt. Both cases are basically identical to the .38 Special case, except shorter. You can trim .38 Special cases shorter. .38 SC has a case which is 0.765" long, .38 LC has a case which is 1.03" long. That's if you reload.
