I just (a month or so ago) picked up a 16" Rossi R92 in .357. Yes, an "Illinois friendly PCC solution". Fun gun. I've got ~50 round through it so far, mixed .38 and .357. No problem cycling any of it.

My brother in law’s Marlin 44mag with a Micro Groove barrel shoots and feeds the old discontinued Speer 225 SWCHP Half Jacket very well and has from day one. So much so he bought a bunch more of those bullets way back then.

There is a difference between can't and won't, just as there is a difference between must not and should not. A gun that can safety chamber and fire a round "handles it". A gun that does that but does not reliably feed or extract, goes into the "should not" group.

For the first year or two the Marlins were not marked to use .38 Special.
I had a couple, but I never shot any .38 so I don't know if changes were made or if it was just an oversight. |
