Is 38 special the same as 380 acp?

There can easily be confusion between the names of three cartridges: .38 auto, .380 auto, and .38 special. .38 auto is an antique and obsolete cartridge replaced by the .380 auto. This is why there is an extra zero on the end of the name and it's called "three-eighty." Neither cartridges have a full rim and are intended for semiautomatic pistols. .38 special is a fully rimmed cartridge intended for revolvers.


Can you shoot .38 caliber ammo in a 380 caliber handgun?

No. Ammo designated as .38 or .38 special is different than ammo designated as .380. .380 is designed for semi-auto handguns and .38 ammo is for revolvers.More to the point, the .38 Special has a longer case, and a larger diameter projectile. The .38 special bullet measures .357" diameter, the .380 measures .355" diameter. The .38 special is a 'rimmed' cartridge, and the .380 is 'rimless'. Luckily, .38 Special ammo will not fit in a .380 magazine, otherwise the results could be disastrous, possibly turning your .380 handgun into a hand grenade.
