One can make a pistol much larger than it needs to be, maybe even having an extra-long barrel would make a pistol larger, technically.
I'll assume you mean the barrel diameter. Although it would seem that a .380 and .38 would have the same barrel diameter, namely, 38/100th of an inch, that is not usually very accurate.
The .380 ACP has an actual barrel diameter of about .35 caliber, or 35/100th of an inch.
The .38 Special has a barrel diameter of .357 caliber, or 35.7/100th of an inch.
So the .38 Special has an ever so slightly larger diameter.
