.38 Long Colt Cowboy

The .38 Long Colt was the Old West’s answer to “How small can a bullet be and still get the job done?” Introduced in the late 1800s, it quickly became the go-to round for some lawmen and soldiers who wanted to carry a revolver without feeling like they were toting a brick. Compact, polite, and just lethal enough to make a bad guy think twice, it became the cartridge of choice for the U.S. Army. Of course, it earned a bit of a reputation during the Philippine-American War, where it reportedly failed to stop some very determined opponents. Let’s just say it wasn’t exactly the Clint Eastwood of calibers. Fast forward to the cowboy action shooting world today, and the .38 Long Colt has found a second life as the perfect choice for shooters who like their Old West gear light and manageable.
