It is simple. The brass which holds the 0.357" bullet is 0.375" O. D., and the chamber is then ~0.38". So the .38 is identified with the brass size.
Just measured mine. I have a Colt Commando Special, 6 rounds in the cylinder, same configuration as the Colt Detective Special.

You cannot put a .357 shell into a .38-only revolver. the .357 Magnum is much longer and will not fit. Deliberately. Very deliberately.

Which is pretty much what I said in my post #27.

I have lost a lot of respect for Haley.

Same here and I’m sure you know more about him than I do.

He just proved he’s as stupid as most of us thought he was.

I used “bullets” because that was how the idiot reporter put it: “.38 caliber revolver loaded with five bullets”
To: Fightin Whitey
I always load mine up with tombstone bullets - and a ball and chain.

Some keep an empty cylinder under the hammer....not my style but if it is a weapon prone to have an “oopsie” if dropped it might not be a bad idea - doesn’t take any longer to get the first shot off and let’s face it, many of us carry many more rounds than we would ever likely need to use - if I need a full 16 round magazine for my 9mm, it would be a gun battle instead of a case of self defense....if I need the 2nd magazine, it would be a war....

That’s because you cannot fully chamber a 357 Mag in a 38 spl chamber and close the cylinder- the extra long cartridge was made to prevent such a mistake.
The 38 spl, originally a black powder round, operates at around 16000 psi, the 357, designed in the early 30s to penetrate car doors etc, used smokeless powder and operates at ~35000 psi. Modern metallurgy and design changes by SW enabled such a performance jump.
