Would this ammo be safe to fire out of a 1930s s&w model 10? Expert Answer

If your S&W Model 10 is in good working condition then this ammunition should function fine.

High-powered unique defense load by Beefsledge Gladbasturd, Verified Owner, January 24, 2023
Easy reliable primers. Not much recoil but they blast and you can tell it’s zipping outta the gun. I found the accuracy to be much better and more consistent than heavier loads from my Taurus 856 3”. Too pricey to practice with, no bulk options.

Product Info for Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense .38 Special 50 Grain Hollow Point Brass Cased Centerfire Pistol Ammunition

The .38 Special joined Liberty Ammunitions Civil Defense line in 2014. The Civil Defense .38 Special is similar in appearance to a competitors but the bullet is vastly different in its construction. It is constructed out of solid copper instead of lead. Liberty Ammunitions .38 Special would be great for personal defense and home defense since it offers maximum stopping power and barrier penetration plus reduced recoil and match grade accuracy. Libertys .38 Special with its unique design is the worlds fastest and most lightweight lead free ammunition available for self-defense in the market. This green ammunition weighs only 50 grains.Liberty Ammunitions .38 Special is classified as a standard pressure round rather than a +P (high pressure) or +P+ (extremely high pressure) round. In fact all of Libertys Civil Defense ammunition is loaded to SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute) specs and pressures and is safe to shoot out of properly maintained modern weapons. The .38 s muzzle velocity is 1500 fps and 250 foot pounds of energy (FPE) making it faster and more energetic than a competitors 110-grain .38 Special load listed as having a muzzle velocity of 945 fps and 218 FPE. Liberty Ammunitions .38 Special offers 2 dispersion at 25 meters out of a 4 barrel.Liberty Ammunitions Civil Defense .38 Special has less felt recoil in comparison to a traditional .38 Special. When tested there is also a lack of noticeable muzzle flash. Despite the light weight projectile it will penetrate soft targets deeper than expected. Liberty Ammunitions Civil Defense.38 Special ammunition is an excellent choice for use as self-defense ammunition. It will not upset recoil sensitive folks but it provides more than enough power to do the job.The Civil Defense line is comprised of nickel-plated solid copper bullets with nickel-plated brass cases making them perfect for training target shooting defense or hunting especially in areas that are embracing non-lead ammunition because of the environmental dangers of lead. The nickel plating reduces barrel fouling and nickel plated cases feed better in the firearm. Nickel plating has also been credited with increasing the life cycle of the weapon system.Liberty Ammunitions Civil defense line provides ammunition that is useful for personal defense and home defense. The entire Civil Defense line delivers lightweight lead-free ammunition with maximum stopping power reduced recoil match grade accuracy and barrier penetration resulting in high performance green ammunition. Liberty Ammunition continues to create the worlds fastest ammunition with twice the velocity..38 Special 50 gr Copper Monolithic Hollow-Point Fragmenting Lead-Free Personal Defense RoundWeight: 50gr Velocity: >1500 FPS Kinetic Energy: >250 FPE Accuracy: Terminal Effect: >2 W x 12 D Rounds: 20 per boximage
