They are ... I can testify to that.

My Dad had a friend that was out of work, and who found a security job guarding a construction site at night. He had no gun so Dad gave him an old Enfield British Service revolver. Dad had reamed the chambers so they would take a .38 Special .. but the cylinder was so short that he had to cut maybe 1/8 inch off the bullets.

One night Joe (Dad's friend) was guarding this site and he heard some noise. Investigating he found 2 men stealing air conditioners off the buildings. He yelled at them and the guy on the ground turned and shot at him with a rifle, but missed. Joe fired back and didn't. He hit the guy in the leg. The wound was really awful.

The cops asked his what kind of magnum he was shooting but he showed them the old Enfield .38 and they could hardly believe it until they saw the ammo.
