Various bullets have been used, the most usual being ogival or round-nosed lead, round-nose full metal jacket, or wadcutter. Shot cartridges and spherical ball have been known in the past. This cartridge was introduced by Smith & Wesson in 1876 to accompany its first 0.38 revolver, the Single-Action 'Baby Russian'. It was immediately popular and went on to become perhaps the most common revolver cartridge in the world. Every manufacturer has made revolvers to suit, and every ammunition manufacturer has, at some time or another, produced this cartridge. Compatible platforms include suitably chambered revolvers.
