A handgun cartridge based on the .38 special. A handgun chambered in .357 magnum can generally utilize the .38 special cartridge. A gun marked .38 special cannot use a .357 magnum cartridge. Using such a cartridge may cause said handgun to explode. Please ignore the author on here who claims "you don't blow up a .38 caliber gun by shootings .357s through it". He is not correct!!! Attempting to shoot a .357 magnum cartridge through a firearm chambered in .38 special is dangerous!
