@@blackmagick77 I did that once to a buddy who was unaware. He was shooting .38 all day(without ear pro) and had no clue it was also capable of .357. So I loaded it for him for another go but included 1 .357,he was surprised to say the least!

WARNING: Not many people know this, but during WWII, some .38 Special revolvers were manufactured with bored-through chambers as a wartime expedient by contract manufacturers until they could get proper chambering reamers. These .38 special revolvers will chamber .357 Magnum cartridges. The problem is that .357 Magnum cartridges generate substantially more chamber pressure than proof loads in .38 Special. Use ONLY the ammo stamped on the barrel or you risk getting hurt and destroying a WWII collector piece.
It might be one of the best power vs economy and versatility…and lower recoil than 45 acp and 44 mag. With flat-nosed bullets, it works in the tubular magazines of lever-action rifles, too. Although, maybe the .30 M1 Carbine is versatile, too…in box-magazine auto-loaders anyway. I see there’s now a S&W 30 Super Carry. 30 Carbine would be like the magnum of that.
When I first got out of the Police Academy in 1985 , we carried .357 magnum , with .38 rounds in it , but as time went on , that changed in a hurry ... We went to the Glock model 22 and we were carrying The Glock 40 caliber and I'm told that they went to Glock 9mm , I'm retired, I carry a 12 gauge Shotgun in the Trunk of my car but I carry 1911 .45 automatic pistol under my leg , I'm an old man now and I take no chances with these clowns out here , ♥️✌🏾....

I always liked my 1911 as a conceal carry gun. All the young clock guys give me the business about it. Its a Ruger and out of a thousand rounds I had two jams. And it was a weak 10rnd magazine spring that I bought used. I loved that gun!
I have a couple snubbies I love them. A 10-7 and a 10-5 the 10/7 has policia de Peru stamped on the side of it opposite of the Smith & Wesson insignia. It works like a champ both of them.
