[QUOTE="HFS, post: 3489307, member: 8862"] Also, as far as chambering .357 mag in a .38 Special, I have heard (but never seen) the following: Some of the World War II S&W Victory Model K frames made for the British in the shorter, fatter old .38 S&W cartridge (known as .38/200 to the Brits) were imported back to the U.S. in the 50s and 60s. A bunch of these guns had the chambers reamed out to take the longer, skinnier .38 Special (and would bulge or split the cases when fired). Supposedly some of these guns were so sloppily re-chambered that they would take .357 mag ammo. If you believe the Warren Commission, Lee Harvey Oswald used one of the Victory model revolvers to murder a Dallas police officer who stopped him for questioning after the Kennedy assassination in 1963.
