I have seen people shoot accurately at 100 yards or more with a .38 pistol. However, in general, a pistol bullet can travel, on average, about a mile.

Can you shoot 38 special ammo in a 22 cal?

No. The cartridge is far too large to fit in the gun, and .38 Special is a centerfire, not a rimfire.


Do they make a 38 caliber in semi-auto-matic?

Yes- but not very common. There is an automatic pistol caliber known as the .38 Super, which does not interchange with the .38 Special revolver cartridge. There have been a small number of target pistols built to shoot .38 Special Wadcutter target ammo. And there is at least one auto pistol made in caliber .357 Magnum (revolver cartridge). However, revolver ammo is rimmed, and auto pistol ammo is rimless- there are usually feeding problems when an auto pistol is made for revolver ammo.


Can you shoot 357 caliber in 38 pistol?

The .357 Magnum cartridge is longer and much more powerful than the .38 Special. While .38 Special ammo CAN be safely fired in a .357 Magnum, the reverse is not true. It is dangerous to try this.
