[18], In 1956, the U.S. Air Force adopted the Cartridge, Caliber .38, Ball M41, a military variant of the .38 Special cartridge designed to conform to the rules of land warfare. The older .38 ACP cartridge propelled a 130-grain (8.4 g) bullet at 1,050 ft/s (320.0 m/s), whereas the .38 Super pushed the same bullet at 1,280 ft/s (390.1 m/s). All of the above specifications for .38 loadings, and the .357 Magnum, are applicable when fired from a Script error barreled revolver. The .38 Long Colt revolver round would not penetrate the insurgent Philippine Morro warrior shields, and the Government contracted the new revolver round to Smith & Wesson. The.38 Super, also known as.38 Superauto,.38 Super Auto, or 9x23mmSR,is a pistolcartridgethat fires a 0.356-inch-diameter (9.04 mm) bullet. .38 Special cartridges.38 Special (pronounced "Thirty-eight Special", 9.1×29.3mmR) is a rimmed, centerfire cartridge designed by Smith & Wesson.It is most commonly used in revolvers, although semi-automatic pistols and some carbines also use this round. Although few, if any US police departments now issue or authorize use of the .38 Special revolver as a standard duty weapon, the caliber remains popular with some police officers for use in short-barreled revolvers carried when off-duty or for undercover police investigations. The higher-pressure .38 +P loads at 20,000 PSI offer about 20% more muzzle energy than standard-pressure loads and places between the .380 ACP and the 9 mm Parabellum; similar to that of the 9×18mm Makarov. Additionally, the .38 Special's heritage as a black powder cartridge gives it a case size capable of accommodating many types of powders, from slower-burning (e. g. Hodgdon H-110 or Hercules 2400) to fast-burning (e. g. Alliant Bullseye, the traditional smokeless powder for this cartridge). This came about because the original .38-caliber cartridge, the .38 Short Colt, was designed for use in converted .36-caliber cap-and-ball Navy revolvers, which had cylindrical firing chambers of approximately 0.374-inch (9.5 mm) diameter, requiring heeled bullets, the exposed portion of which was the same diameter as the cartridge case. [20][21] The M41 ball cartridge was first used in .38 revolvers carried by USAF aircrew and Strategic Air Command security police, and by 1961 was in use by the U.S. Army for security police, dog handlers, and other personnel equipped with .38 Special caliber revolvers.

In May 1943, a new .38 Special cartridge with a 158-grain, full steel jacketed, copper flash-coated bullet meeting the requirements of the rules of land warfare was developed at Springfield Armory and adopted for the Smith & Wesson revolvers. The .38 Smith & Wesson Special (commonly .38 Special, .38 Spl, or .38 Spc, pronounced "thirty-eight special") is a rimmed, centerfire cartridge designed by Smith & Wesson. Ammo box, .38 special is a bulk box of 50 .38 special rounds. Due to its black powder heritage, the .38 Special is a low pressure cartridge, one of the lowest in common use today at 17,000 PSI. The Vietnam War Wiki has media related to. [2] When the .357 Magnum was introduced in 1934, this advantage of the .38 Super was no longer enough to lure police departments and officers from the traditional double-action revolver. [23] The FBI Load proved very satisfactory in effectively stopping adversaries in numerous documented shootings using 2- to 4-inch barreled revolvers. Since the .38 Super is dimensionally the same as the .38 ACP, an unsafe condition can be caused by firing .38 Super cartridges in a firearm designed for the much lower pressure .38 ACP. Use of compensators in competition is limited to the Open Division in IPSC and USPSA. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=.38_Special&oldid=985485816, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, This page was last edited on 26 October 2020, at 06:31. In 1974, the industry added the +P headstamp to the .38 Super to further distinguish it from the lower-pressure .38 ACP. Detective Mode - If the player also has Badge, the gun's maximum ammo is increased, its reload time is halved, and its damage is increased by 20%. [22] The FBI Load combined a more powerful powder charge with a 158-grain unjacketed soft lead[23] semi-wadcutter hollow-point bullet designed to readily expand at typical .38 Special velocities obtained in revolvers commonly used by law enforcement. In C.I.P. Brown Jr., Edwards, "DCM Shopper's Guide". It is also widely used in revolvers purchased for civilian, home defense or for concealed carry by individuals with a CCW permit. It was introduced in the late 1920s as a higher pressure loading of the.38 ACP, also known as.38 Auto. The .38 Super is generally regarded as a well-balanced cartridge with a flat trajectory, good accuracy and relatively high muzzle energy; most loadings have greater muzzle energy than many factory-loaded .45 ACP loadings. By modern standards, the .38 Special fires a medium-sized bullet at rather low speeds. [10] Remington-Peters also introduced a similar loading. decisions, texts and tables - free current C.I.P. This cartridge was called the .38 S&W Super Police or the .38/200. According to the official C.I.P. Both .38 Special and .357 Magnum will chamber in Colt New Army revolvers in .38 Long Colt, due to the straight walled chambers, but should not be done under any circumstances, due to dangerous pressure levels, up to three times what the New Army is designed for. [21] Issued only by the U.S. Air Force, the PGU-12/B had a greatly increased maximum allowable pressure rating of 20,000 psi, sufficient to propel a 130-grain FMJ bullet at Script error from a solid Script error test barrel, and about 950–980 ft/s from a Script error revolver barrel.

The .38 Super has 17.6 grains H2O (1.14 ml) cartridge case capacity. [8] It is used for target shooting, formal target competition, personal defense, and for hunting small game.
