It was developed by Smith & Wesson in 1877. 38 Smith & Wesson (.38 S&W) ammunition is a great choice for casual target shooting. Versions of the cartridge were the standard revolver cartridges of the British military from 1922 until the 1960s. Though similar in name, it is not interchangeable with the later .38 Smith & Wesson Special due to a different case shape and slightly larger bullet diameter.
The round was first introduced in 1877 for use in the S&W .38. Supplies of 38 S&W are relatively limited compared to many other types of ammunition.
