38 S&W Ammo

38 S&W (aka 38 S&W Short) is not the same as 38 Special ammo thanks to its different case shape and slightly wider bullet. 38 S&W is especially popular among historic firearm enthusiasts who own Colt New Police revolvers (but take note that the Colt New Police was also chambered for different rounds including the 32 S&W Long). Remington commonly loads 38 S&W with a 125 grain lead round nose (LRN) bullet for target practice, although heavier loads that are more suitable for self-defense are occasionally available.
