I’ve seen both ends, the ringed barrel boys and the four finger-one ear gang.

It's the concept of modern 38 Special revolver cylinders and frames are made of better steel alloys and likely heat treated to the same standards as a 357 Magnum revolver, so instead of buying a 357 Magnum, just hotrod the 38 Special brass to create a cartridge that provides 357 Magnum ballistics in your 38 Special revolver. I've said it before and I will say it again, I am definitely not a fan of the concept.
