Thank you all very much -- I have had several complete comprehensive replies to my question. I've learned a lot. You can consider this matter to be closed.

As I understand it, the ammunition available for the 38 smith and wesson differs from the ammo available for 38 s&w SPECIAL.
I've been told that ammo for the NONspecial is harder to find and there are fewer choices when compared to the ammo available for the more-widely used 38 s&w special.
Who can clarify this?
My previous post on this forum (post 3008) is more specific as to the exact revolver that I am talking about.

Thank you.
