38 s and w anywhere ?

[fightinghamster]

Got a Enfield no2 revolver recently and it came with a few boxes of 38s&w and the stuff is as hard to find as 303 Brit anyone know of a site selling a couple boxes of the stuff? The revolvers so fun and easy to shoot and I’m not setup for reloading yet any info is appreciated

Al Simmons in Hamilton always carried it. Not sure about now.

If you ever see anything that says 38 Cold New Police buy that too.

I've got a 1924 Colt Police Positive Special that is chambered for .38 S&W, and yes, it is really hard to find ammo for. I sourced a couple boxes at a gun show. I don't think I've ever seen it in a retail store. Fun little cartridge to shoot though, even if you can throw a rock harder!

Honestly, if you plan to shoot any decent amount, you should think about getting set up for reloading. Years ago I had 2-3 pistols chambered in this round, and iirc, it was about $45 for a box of 50.

Centaure had some out not too long ago for $25 a box

.38 S&W caliber is one of those calibers that teeters on the line of becoming obsolete. If you want to get use out of that handgun on a regular basis, you need to learn how to reload.

+1 on reloading for .38 S&W.

I still have 50 round boxes marked $12

Last time I bought 38 S&W it was $55 a box. I believe Wolverine gun and Tackle in Red Deer Alberta has some currently that's where I got my stuff the last time

Reloading is something I’m definitely going to do just trying to get setup

I have a 1942 Colt Police Positive in 38 S&W. I honestly believe it’s never been shot. The finish is pristine for an 80 year old gun. I might as well start shooting it if I can never sell it. Have to find dies to reload the brass.

Get into reloading as it’s the only way to guarantee a steady supply of ammunition. Also cuts your price way down. I also cast my own bullets so that also cuts the price. Under $20 per hundred at current primer prices. Prices for new factory loads around here is $55-60 plus tax for fifty.

If it shoots like my endfield you’ll love it basically no recoil, plus it makes me feel like a British gentleman

Doubletap usually has starline brass in that caliber. Dies shouldn’t be hard to find

I reload it for my S&W Victory. Honestly I just use regular 38spc/357mag projectiles and it shoots great with them. No real need to hunt down the specific 38 S&W projectiles that are .002" larger in diameter. Cost wise I would not even purchase factory ammo as it is very expensive. Of course if you will never reload then that is your only choice.

That's a beautiful gun for sure! And yes, you should shoot it a bit.
