NO. Please don't modify the .38 Special ammo. It is unwise and could be dangerous. Be patient my friend. You'll find the correct ammo eventually. Remember the revolver is not a modern firearm and if it where my gun I would purchase a few boxes of S&W .38 Ctg from Norma manufacturing. They specialize in reduced loads for older firearms.

I have to agree with the lt. It's just a matter of a micrometer and a caliper, and maybe alittle research. Tell him not to be foolish, if just for the pistol's sake! |
