No. Only black powder shells can be used, and even than, it may not be safe to shoot. I load my own with 2 drams of 2f real black powder and 7/8 oz of shot. Have a gunsmith take a look at the gun first.

Were can you buy 38 rimfire ammo for antique pistol?
First, it is important to know that the weapon is capable of being fired safely. When you say antique, it just makes my eyebrows raise a little. As far as being able to obtain ammunition for the pistol, there are plenty of online stores that specialize in ammunition for hard-to-find pistols and rilfes. You, of course, will probably pay a premium for it, but that is the way it is for niche items in most industries. Just Google .38 Rimfire ammunition, and you will find a plethera (well, more than one) of companies that will gladly sell you some .38 rimfire ammo. Just please be sure that you KNOW what caliber the gun actually is, and that the pressures used in loading the ammunition you buy are not going to exceed the capabilities of the gun to safely discharge those rounds. Antique guns, in my opinion, should be kept in a case or sold to the highest bidder. Tip: If it's hard to find ammo for, don't shoot it! Glocks are much safer.
