Of course not, or at least that’s what I thought.
I thought that the idea behind the 357 magnum case was lengthening the 38 so that the 357 would not fit in 38 revolvers, so I was a bit surprised when out of curiosity I dropped some 357 magnums into my Police Positive revolver, and saw that it drops in just like 38s. These are just normal, 124 gr. JHP 357 magnums, not some shorter projectile.
What’s all this about? I’m not crazy enough to try to shoot it, but I simply didn’t know that a Police Positive would take 357 magnum rounds.
This is the revolver I’m talking about:

Anyone knows about this? maybe someone blowing up his Colt by actually shooting 357 magnums in a Police Positive Special? Why do they fit? I believed they were intended NOT to fit for safety reasons.
