Product Description
The INERT .38 Auto Federal cartridge is a fascinating collectible representing the legacy of early 20th-century handgun ammunition. Originally introduced in 1900 for the Colt M1900 semi-automatic pistol, the .38 Automatic (also known as .38 ACP) was designed by John Browning and quickly became a popular caliber for self-defense and law enforcement.
Manufactured by Federal Cartridge, this round reflects the precision and quality associated with one of the leading ammunition producers in the United States. The .38 Auto cartridge is known for its straight-walled, semi-rimmed design, which allowed for reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols. Its moderate velocity and manageable recoil made it a preferred choice for personal protection during its era.
This particular round has been fully deactivated, containing no live primer, powder, or propellant, ensuring it is safe for handling, display, and collection. The brass casing, marked with the Federal headstamp, remains in excellent condition, showcasing its historical authenticity.
Ideal for collectors, firearm enthusiasts, or anyone interested in early semi-automatic pistol ammunition, the INERT .38 Auto Federal cartridge is a remarkable piece of history. Its connection to early 20th-century firearms innovation makes it a valuable addition to any collection of vintage ammunition or historical artifacts.
