What is the difference between 38lc and 38 Special?
.38 Long Colt uses a .361-inch bullet while .38 Special uses a .357-inch bullet. Their case diameters differ slightly (.381 vs .379 inch), making them incompatible. .38 Special generates higher pressure and velocity. Do not fire .38 Special in a Long Colt revolver due to bore and chamber incompatibility.
What was George Patton's killing gun?
Patton called his .357 Magnum Smith & Wesson revolver his "killing gun" for battlefield use. He also carried a .45 Colt revolver daily, with distinctive ivory grips. He famously corrected anyone who called them "pearl-handled," saying only a pimp would carry pearl-handled guns.
What caliber did cowboys use?
The .45 Colt was most common for revolvers. The .44-40 was popular because it worked in both rifles and revolvers, simplifying ammunition supply. The .38 Long Colt also saw use. Choice depended on availability, cost, and personal preference rather than any single standard.
