Ok, Im a novice when it comes to pistols, I need some help. Im looking at a .38 revolver that says "Ruby Extra" on it but has S&W handles and looks identical to a S&W, but it is Spanish made. It says .38 long CTG. on the barrel. I assume its an old revolver, Ive heard about the .38 longs made.
But do I shoot any .38 caliber ammo in it? I've been told not to shoot the .38 special +P (too much bang). Whats the difference in .38 S&W, .38 special, etc. What about .357 shells, someone told be they interchange, is that true.
And would this gun be accurate enough or powerful enough to carry while trapping, hunting?
Thanks for any help.
