.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. But if you’re serious about winning your shootouts—or just looking like the smoothest gunslinger on the range—you need Cowboy Choice Ammunition.

.38 Long Colt 105 Grain TCFP Hi-Tec Coated Lead Cast Bullet in “COWBOY CHOICE- The .38 Long Colt, also known as .38 LC, is a black powder cartridge introduced by Colt’s Manufacturing Company in 1875. In 1892, it was adopted as a standard military pistol cartridge by the United States Army for the Colt M1892 revolver. The metric designation for the .38 Long Colt is 9.1×26mm. It is slightly more powerful than the .38 Short Colt, also known as .38 SC. The original .38 SC and .38 LC differ in case length, bullet diameter, weight, and design and are not interchangeable; however, modern production .38 SC ammunition is now loaded with a smaller, internally-lubricated bullet which can be fired from firearms chambered in .38 LC or .38 Special. The modern .38 LC can be fired from .38 Special firearm, but not from a firearm designed for the .38 SC, since the case length is too long.
The .38 Long Colt remained the Army’s primary revolver cartridge until 1909, when the .45 M1909 cartridge was issued along with the .45 Colt New Service revolver as the new standard military sidearm for the U.S. Army. However, some of the old .38 Long Colt revolvers and ammunition remained in reserve stocks, and when the U.S. entered World War I in 1917, the need for sidearms was such that even these low-performing weapons were brought out of storage for usage away from the front lines.
In civilian use, the .38 LC was chambered in a number of Colt revolvers and saw some use among target shooters. Various U.S. police forces also adopted the cartridge. However, the cartridge became nearly extinct after Smith & Wesson‘s more powerful .38 Special cartridge became widely popular as a civilian and police service cartridge. By 1908, even Colt was chambering their new Police Positive and Army Special revolvers in “.38 Colt Special”, which was just a standard .38 Smith & Wesson Special with a different headstamp. *From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
