38 Short Colt

38_short_colt
The .38 Short Colt is a centerfire revolver cartridge that was introduced in the mid-19th century. It was originally designed for use in cap-and-ball revolvers that had been converted to fire metallic cartridges. The case length is 0.762 inches, and it typically fires a bullet with a diameter of 0.357 inches, weighing around 125 grains.
The .38 Short Colt has relatively low power and is often considered to be an obsolete cartridge by modern standards. It was historically used by law enforcement and civilians for self-defense. Today, it is generally seen as a historical or novelty cartridge, occasionally used in vintage firearms or for shooting competitions that focus on period-specific equipment.
Given its low recoil and manageable size, it might be used for light target shooting or collection purposes, but it is not recommended for modern defensive use due to its limited stopping power compared to more contemporary calibers.
