Most of the time when a gun says it shoots 38 short centerfire its talking about the 38S&W round. I'm interested in the 38 Short Colt, the baby brother to the 38 Long Colt, 38 Special and 357 magnum.
I recently bought a gun in 38 Short Colt. It's a neat little double action 5 shot and I haven't been able to determine who made the gun. I believe it was made overseas around the late 1800's to early 1900's.
Loading it was easy. 9mm dies and a 38 special shell holder. 2grs trailboss powder and 95gr .357diameter 380 bullets. Brass was from Starline brass.
Information on this round seems scarce, and guns specifically made for the caliber even harder to find.:banghead:
My question is, what other revolvers were made for, and shot this round?
