Bullet diameter of a 9mm is .355; for a 38 it is .357. 38 case is longer. Additionally, a 9mm is designed to be used in a semi-automatic pistol, and a .38 is designed to be used in a revolver, although, there are a couple of revolvers that will chamber 9mm.
No
No, you cannot.
No
Close, but no. A .38 Special fires a .357 inch diameter bullet, 9mm Parabellum fires a slightly smaller bullet, but with more force. The .38 is a rimmed revolver cartridge, and the 9mm is a rimless automatic pistol cartridge.
NO
Not reliably. The 9mm bullet is a bit smaller in diameter than a .38, and the cartridge has no rim- it will push into the cylinder. Brass is also likely to split if it DOES fire.
No, Look It Up!! :D ^^
The 380 ACP, also known as the 9mm Short, 9x17, 9mm Browning, 9mm Kurz and 9mm Corto uses a .355 diameter bullet. The 38 special uses a .357 diameter bullet. Additionally, the 380 ACP is designed for a semi-automatic and the .38 special is designed for a revolver.
The parts of the 38 revolver include a replaceable cylinder, ammunition, a speed loader a moon clip. The 38 revolver is basically used to fire bullets to specific targets.
Yes and no, depending on what you are asking. A 9mm projectile is about 0.355" diameter whereas a .38 Special is 0.357" diameter - pretty much the same. A 9mm case is rimless and is shorter than a .38 Spec and almost all of the guns chambered for the 9mm are automatics. The .38 is a rimmed case and almost all of the handguns chambered for it are revolvers. Ballistically, the two rounds are very similar with the 9mm having a slight edge, given similar projectiles. Since it is a revolver bullet, the .38 offers flexibility for the projectiles (including wadcutters and birdshot) which the 9mm won't support.
No, i asume you dont have see .380 pistol and a revolver 38 spl, the .380 and 38 spl ammo share de same diameter boot no the longer, the 38 is for a 38 special revolver tipe and the .380 is for an automatic pistol tipe some people call 9mm short.
