Yes. Do NOT try to run modern ammo through it! This pistol was chambered for Black Powder ammo and will create dangerous pressures when fired with smokeless powder. Unless you reload, don't go to the store and buy a box of .38 ammo for it.
If you ever take up reloading, you can build your own "flavors" of ammo. I have a loading press at home and I load 30-06 and .223. It's a fun hobby.
