No, there are not, because of the design of the shell casing. However, there is a .38 Super cartridge for semi-autos. <><><> Rather rare, but there are a very few semi-auto pistols in .38 Special. These are target pistols that are tuned to only shoot .38 Special Wadcutter target loads. As said, the design of the cartridge case does not lend itself well to semi-autos.
Ruger pistols are used for hunting, self protection, sporting, military, practice, law enforcement. home defence. Ruger pistols are powerful and can be seen as intimidating to the target on the other end, one should be mindful while using them.
WWII Japan made one or two military type (style) revolvers, and the rest were semi-automatic Nambu pistols during the war, mostly in 8mm caliber. Single shot pistols are either antique muzzle loaders or special cartridge firing "target" pistols. Hardly no military during WWII had need of single shot pistols.
Some handguns were made for defense, some were made for specialized target shooting, and some indeed were made for hunting. BTW, not all handguns are pistols- autoloaders and single shots are pistols, but handguns such as the Colt Peacemaker are revolvers. Handguns such as the .44 Magnum, .454 Cassul, the .460, S&W .500 are VERY large revolvers that are frequently used for hunting. Single shot pistols in rifle calibers, such as the Thompson/Center pistols are also used as hunting firearms. Even a .22 target pistol, such as the Ruger or Colt Woodsman may be used to hunt small game.
There were many .22 target pistols that held 9 rounds. Harrington & Richardson was one maker.
Target Costing refers to the design of product, and the processes used to produce it so the ultimately the product can be manufactured can be manufactured at a cost that will enable the firm to make a profit when the product is sold at an estimated mark driven price . This estimated price is called the target price.
Walther, S&W, Colt, H&R, IJ, to name a few.
For pistol slow-fire, the proper target is the B16.
