A generic term used to refer to any revolver chambered for the .38 S&W Special. The most famous examples are the Smith & Wesson Model 10 and Model 36 'Chief's Special.' This is perhaps one of the best chocies for ANYONE seeking a no-frills, close range, defensive cartridge. It isn't the most powerful, with so-so ballistics, but a couple of .38s in the center mass will end most life threatening encounters.
I bought myself a Model 10 .38 to keep under the matress, just in case any drunkard thugs get any ideas...

38, also known as 'Balls Deep'. Adapted from 1337 speak. Where a penis can be represented as 8==D and anal sex can be represented as 3==8. So when the 3 and theh 8 have no = signs, meanning you cannot see the 'shaft' thus you are 'balls deep'

A name that refers to two popular firearms calibers.
.38 Special is found in many revolvers, and is a truncated version of the .357 Magnum. .38 Special rounds may be discharged from a revolver chambered for .357 Magnum.
.38 Super is an autopistol caliber. It is more powerful than 9x19, but less powerful than .40SW or .357SIG. Made famous by gangsters in the thirties, the .38 Super was capable of penetrating bullet proof vests- something the .45ACP could not. Today, the round can be stopped by most vests. It is relatively uncommon caliber. Several gun manufacturers produce nickel-plated 1911-style guns to discharge this round.
