Looking at a Colt SAA in .38 special.

This cartridge isn't on the magic list but I imagine .38 Long colt will fire, would this then be a no go?
 
EDIT This Thred is incorrect 38 Sp is in fact a OK Caliber. THE CFC have decided that a gun made before 1898 and chambered for the 38 Sp is in fact AOK as a Perscribed antique i have got RCMP letters on a bunch of SAA colts that were converted to 38 Sp.

41 LC is about it in colt SAAs
Less you can find a rare 450 or 455 chambered one.

Some Custom Antique Colt SAAs are available in 44 Special they also shoot 44 Russian.
Christy was know for this.
Hard to find tho. Usally done on a 165000 and up Ser #ed Frames.

If you're asking is it an antique. No it isn't. And no you can't shoot .38 Long Colt in it. It'd cost you far less to shoot .38 Specials anyway.
