38 Special Shotshell Ammo

Shop 38 Special shotshell ammo at Moriarti Armaments for compatible revolvers and handguns. Commonly called .38 Special snake shot, rat shot, or handgun shot shells, these specialty cartridges contain multiple small pellets instead of a conventional single projectile.

Always confirm the exact caliber designation and ammunition compatibility specified by your firearm manufacturer before using specialty shotshell ammunition.

Is .38 Special snake shot the same as regular .38 Special ammo?

No. .38 Special snake shot uses a capsule or similar projectile containing multiple small pellets, while conventional .38 Special ammunition typically fires a single bullet. Both may carry the .38 Special cartridge designation, but they are designed for different applications and can perform very differently. Always verify that the specific shotshell ammunition is appropriate for your firearm.
