Muzzle velocity will vary, depending on whether fired from a rifle, revolver, or semi-automatic pistol- and on the loading of THAT particular cartridge. A .38 Special wadcutter target load fired from a 4 inch bbl revolver will reach about 690 feet per second. A +P+ (high energy load) fired from a 6" revolver may reach 1100 fps.

What else can I help you with?
