Can you shoot a 38 special bullet out of a 32 revolver?

Absolutely not. IMPROVING ANSWER: It won't even fit, although you can't tell the right ammo to use in a gun by trying it to see if it fits. A .32 caliber gun fires a bullet that is about 32/100 of an inch wide. A .38 special handgun uses bullets that are about 36/100 inch. So the bigger bullets will not fit through the smaller holes in the chamber and barrel on the smaller-caliber gun.


What do ammunition numbers mean?

They measure the width of the gun barrel in fractions of an inch. A 38 caliber will be .38 of an inch. The bullet projectile itself is a little less wide.

Can you shoot regular 38 caliber ammunition in a 38 special?

NO, a 38 Special is actually .357 caliber. NO, a 38 Special is actually .357 caliber. A 38 special is NOT a 357 magnum. Both bullet heads are about .357 in diameter. The difference between the 38 and 357 is the length of the brass case. The 357 brass case is a bit longer then the 38 special case, and the gun powder load is a bit higher then the 38 special load...... Further, you can shoot a 38 special case in the 357 magnum revolver, however, you cannot fire a 357 magnum round in the 38 special. The 38 special cylinder is too short for the 357 round......
