Short 38 Midway as well as Sportsman's Guide sell 38 cbc SPL SHORT. Bullet is .357 dia . Looks like a 38 S&W without the .361 dia. bullet . I know this is a fact , they are sitting in front of me on my bench .I (personal experience) have found that Remington 38 S&W (not 38 Special) Will chamber...

Q. C . Fact: When shopping for A 637 J Frame I passed on first two I looked at . Barrel alignment was off . Fact: Found one with barrel aligned , purchased it . Noticed rounds were loose in chamber . Not rattling around but not as snug as my other revolvers . Fact: It (637) Will chamber 38S&W...

snubbiefan ,have not fired it yet .I am embarrassed to admit it but I can't get the original S&W boot grips off of it .I found the correct Allen wrench ,tried to loosen it , no dice . (The through bolt has a hex head ) It's almost as if someone had locktighted it . I really don't want to take...

I wonder how many 38 Special owners are who read this post are trying to find a 38sw round (Remington) to see if it indeed does chamber in their pistols .

SW&Larry ,Don't know how to respond to your question without sounding sarcastic . 357 was never an issue in discussion .Bone of contention was interchangeability or lack there of between 38 Special and 38 S&W ,which is a shorter and less powerful cartridge .

You would have thought I had raped a baby .Anyway 38 S&W fired just fine in the Taurus . I guess...

Some time back I posted about a Taurus model 85 revolver chambered for 38 sp. which would chamber 38 S&W .Had many responses saying was not possible . Well it was and after thinking about it awhile I fired it with the 38 S&W . No problem .Today I have a new S&W model 637 in front of me . It also...
