Can you safely fire .38 Super in a .357 Magnum?

WOW everyone's an expert, but few know what they talk about, so here's my take on this 38 super in a 357 mag revolver !

It depends on one thing only, will the round fit the revolver period.

As for safety, nobody in their right mind would tell you to try this, UNLESS you know what your about. This means can you do simple things like re-barrel a 1911 or hand-load your own ammo.

You might take a moment to consider this, how many revolvers are now chambered for +P 9mm & are they any different from their 357 brothers.

I have & still run 38 Super in my Ruger GP100, why because I can, should you,
here's my take on that, your an adult.
 
OP,you say you have owned a 38 Super for 20 years. If you have ammo for it,shoot it!!. It likely holds at least 9.. In an emergency? Grab your 38 Super handgun.

Which brings me to my main question . Why?

Is there any good reason?

Academic question? Can I eat Tide Pods? Just curious!!

We can waste a lot of time on hypothetical academic questions.
 
This thread is almost 14 years old. The person who asked the question hasn't been here for ten years. There is no reason to dredge up a discussion this old.

welcome to TFL

It's the age old question, CAN vs. SHOULD....just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do that thing...

like posting in a thread that went dormant over a dozen years ago......:rolleyes:
