Does anyone have an idea as to what percentage of the Speed Sixes were in .38 Special? Its a good shooter, and puts 158 grain +P loads right at the point of aim at 20 yards. 2.
LCR. 357 vs .38 Special - Ruger Forum

You can shoot all the .38 Spls and .38 +Ps in a 357 that you wish, and have the option of selecting a "milder" 357 load like the Speer Gold Dot 135 gr 357 load, if you have the need for speed and reduced recoil. It Is A Fine and Pleasant Madness!
Ruger LCR .38 Special Revolver - Ruger Forum
WEBOct 30, 2019 · A small DAO like the LCR is a great carry piece in .38 cal. Very easy to carry and conceal. With that that said, revolvers are still pretty big compared to some of the choices available in .380 micro pistols. I believe the LCR and most of it's competitors are right around 1.3 inch width at the cylinder.
GP100, .38 Special? - Ruger Forum
WEBJan 5, 2015 · This was done back in the late 1940's or early 1950's by guys wanting more power out of their .38 special. I too like a Ruger GP100 model 1751 more then the 3 inch fixed sight.357. There are enough very good .38 Special +p loads out there to suit my needs. But hey if you want a 3 inch adjustable sight .357 there's ways to do it.

3" GP100 38 Special only - Ruger Forum
WEBOct 25, 2017 · The one I had in 38 got sold. When the first few 1751s appeared there was a real buzz in the Ruger GP community - there hadn't been a 3" adjustable sight GP100 in about 20 years and those guns (model 1708 in 357) were truly rare with less than 10 known examples. So the first 1751 guns were snapped up by eager collectors.
Will .38 work in a .357 New Model Blackhawk? - Ruger Forum
WEBJul 13, 2012 · marlin39a said: 38 S&W and 38 Special will work fine and completely safe. Not true. .38 Short Colt, .38 Long Colt, .38 Special, .38 Special +P, and .357 Magnum may be safely fired in a .357 Magnum chambered firearm. .38 S&W uses a larger diameter bullet and case and may NOT be used.

.38 special security six (rare?) - Ruger Forum
WEBMar 29, 2010 · The .38 Special Security Sixes are rare, but there are not as many Ruger DA collectors so I don't think they will ever bring a huge premium. But, if you find a collector who needs one you might get $6-700 for it. Most buyers of the Security Sixes are shooters, and go for the .357 models.
Range report: LCRx .38 Special - Ruger Forum
WEBDec 28, 2018 · Took my new LCRx in .38 special to the range today. Even with wadcutters it's a handful. Wadcutters in my GP100 feel like .22's. I'd love to try the .357 magnum and 9mm just to see what they feel like with the extra weight. My buddy was even surprised at the recoil, and we had shot 44 magnums earlier. I know it's all physics with such little ...
