.357 vs .38 split vs .38 S&W

I'd rather listen to someone who has real life knowledge about something who has done something and not just talk about it VS guys who think they know something but never tried.

If your 38 special/357magnum will chamber 38 S&W something's wrong, check to see if the pistol was rechambered from 38 S&W.

Nope. Here's a photo of just 1 of my 17 .38/.357 revolvers (this one a no-dash 586 from 1985) showing how nicely it will chamber .38 S&W cartridges. I can assure you that nothing is wrong with this gun, or with the other 16 revolvers I own that will chamber these factory Remington .38 S&W cartridges, nor have any of them been rechambered. These cartridges drop right in easily and fall right out again without being forced.
