Can you shoot a 38 Special in a 357 Contender ?
Thanks

Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

  Here's the rundown: 38 special is .358 and will fit a .357 Magnum but, under no circumstances should you shoot a .357 Magnum in a 38 pistol(too much pressure). 

So, you can use lighter 38s in a .357, just not the other way around.

Hi
What they said and you need to watch for build up in the chamber when you go back to 357. Other wise no problem.
